OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Chevelle2]

Favre was 1/4 on passes over 10 yards. Teams are gonna start playing closer to the line of scrimmage, and more intermediate, and he is gonna have to start going deeper.

[Fosco33]

It all makes sense now...

"Two weeks ago,'' Brett Favre said, walking out of Reliant Stadium late Monday night, "I was weed-eatin.' I mean, to come out here and move around this way and make a few throws, I'm pretty happy with it.''

[Pugger]

I didn't see much of the game (hate Bf in that hideous purple getup). But I have question to those who watched it: is MN that good or is Houston that bad?? Is this the same MN team that was beaten by KC last week?

Things that may give you a better indiciation of how the game played out:

-Houston missed alot of tackles on MIN receivers
-Chester Taylor was MINs leading receiver (shows you Favre was in checkdown mode a lot)
-Favre was 1/4 over 10 yards
-Favre managed the game well, but thats all he did, manage.

Houston has run defense issues. New Orleans ate them up and it's a concern for them. I was pretty sure that AP and Co were going to eat them up on the ground. So it was a bad matchup for Houston to play against that good of a run team. Even taking out AP's 75 yd run, MN avg well over 4 ypc (I'm not counting Rosenfels kneeldowns at the end of the game).

Uh, MN beat KC last week. Berrian didn't play and he is their deep threat. Their starting RT only played the first series(albeit a good one). Backup WR's were in by 2nd qtr. Favre managing the game is all he is going to be asked to do. Don't expect many games with over 225 yds. And Chilly always goes with the vanilla offense and defense in preseason. Not much to learn from this other that Favre getting some timing down with receivers and some work in "real" conditions.

My bad. I didn't see that game either.

It makes me sick seeing him in purple, but I think he actually played very well last night. It makes me feel a little better knowing that MN has really bad receivers, though! At least from what I saw last night. One of them dropped a perfectly thrown pass that should have been a TD. I think Favre is going to suffer bc he doesn't have the elite WR corp that he had in GB his last season here.

[MOBB DEEP]

WOW...lord favre's debut in purple at prime time was the highest rated pre season game EVER on espn! The game rated a whoping 6.0

Folk talk about how sick they are of him but cant get enough. Must see TV

Golic said he's "going to go out on a limb and say people didnt tune in to watch matt schaub!" LOL

[Scott Campbell]

Vanilla. Exactly how I'd describe Favre in the wildcat.

Couldn't think of a better description myself ... 3rd quarter no less!

[MOBB DEEP]

Chilly says lord will not play in last preseason game v cowpukes...

DAYUM...!

Think again GB; Berrian avgd about 20 yrds a reception, harvin is a flat out stud, and the TE rivals keith jackson (my frat brother)....and im assuming lord will be using chester quite a bit in the short passing game while "managing" the offense

[MOBB DEEP]

oh snap, LT just said he's the best back in NFL b/c All Day peterson has to come out on passing downs and cant run routes, etc

i like em both
