John Jagler's blog on 620wtmj.com has a picture of the infamous play, but BEFORE Favre threw. He is just winding up to throw. Let's discuss the field at THAT time!

Looks a bit different, doesn't it?
Osi's actually closer to Favre on the rush at this point. Unless Favre has eyes in the back of his head, he has to be worried about him. If I remember correctly Favre had to step up in the pocket a bit on this play also."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson -
I don't know exactly what happened, but I do know Favre has never and will never make a mistake. Just ask Harv.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Actually it doesn't look much different. He has a good pocket their, definitely enough time to get the ball out in time and have the Wr's run their routes. You can freeze it, rewind, and fast forward it all day, but the fact is, at the end, it was a bad throw.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersLooks a bit different, doesn't it?

I said he made a bad throw. To make something bigger out of it is stupid. To say we'd be better off without Favre (NFC Offensive Player of the Year) is even more stupid.

The picture is blurred, but Webster is almost on top of Driver. You can't see him because he's right behind.

You're an idiot. Look at the play!!! No one else has separation short of Grant. Driver looks like he is in position to make a play on the ball on a comeback pattern based on where Webster is. It kind of looks like he is being held slight as well.Originally posted by JustinHarrell
Lee looks blanketed, Jenning has some moderate separation but with safety help and the man chasing him a yard or two shorter on the field, that is a tough throw to make.
Regardless, I doubt Favre even went to his 2nd or 3rd reads because he is taught to go to his first progression if it is open. From the looks of it, it looks like Driver is open enough to be the only one with a chance to catch the ball.
It was a fine read but an inaccurate pass. When its the third coldest game in NFL history, that does happen.Comment

I think this thread has a better picture of pre-throw. Wonder if the Dline's arm/hand impeded Favre's view of Driver's 'openness'?
I'm over this throw. I'm over the game. There were about a dozen more 'bad' plays in this game that added up to the loss. Plenty of blame to sling around.
If Brett comes back, I'll be ecstatic. If he doesn't, I'll understand and remember much more than this one throw/game/year/etc.
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

thaaaaaank god someone took the pic of the actual play.. my god, it was a bad throw, it really was... but that doesnt meant he choked or just threw one up for grabs.. people, realize that hes the best you'll ever see at that position and love itComment

Brett has a very good pocket to throw out of and Grant should have gotten the ball, he is open! Check down Brett, check down!!!! That is a perfect Brady like pocket, he can even step into his throw. Osi is 2.5 yards behind Brett. Grant had nobody within 10 yards of him in the secondary.Pass Jessica's Law and keep the predators behind bars for 25 years minimum. Vote out liberal, SP judges.

One could also now say he may have rushed the pass as he did most of the day.Pass Jessica's Law and keep the predators behind bars for 25 years minimum. Vote out liberal, SP judges. Enforce all immigrant laws!Comment

Jagler also mentioned on air that Driver was Favre's first read. If that is the case, you can't fault the selection of who he threw to at all. If the ball was thrown to Driver's outside shoulder and maybe just a little short of where Driver is, making Driver comeback for it, the only way the defender can get to it is through Driver for an interference penalty.
Driver has pretty good position. There really was no reason for Favre to look for Jennings, Grant or anyone else. The QB doesn't look for the most open receiver, he looks for the first receiver in his progression that he can get the ball to.
One of Favre's faults (and strengths) is his confidence in making throws to tightly covered receivers.
I think the earlier picture shows clearly that it was not a bad decision at all, but a very bad throw.Comment
