I didn't even notice that the guy did Jared Allen's sack dance after the pick. Priceless stuff!!Originally posted by Scott Campbell

Exactly. It's a team game, all the way around. Favre's excellent passing was an asset to the Vikes this season, but the team beat the Packers twice. Jared Allen, Adrian Peterson, Antoine Winfield, et al. Same with the loss to the Saints. Lots of good plays, lots of bungled plays by lots of players.Originally posted by PatlerI thought it was the Vikings who beat the Packers, not Favre.Originally posted by GrnBay007
Seriously, though, it always intrigues me when comments are made about a player beating another team.
If Favre beat the Packers, then Favre lost the game to the Saints.
But the QB position seems more in the spotlight and the tendency is to give the QB too much credit or too much blame. I don't agree with that way of seeing a QB, any more than I'd blame Ernie Banks for not being a "winner," but if you're going to do that, then be consistent."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

he is and always has been one tough son of a bitchComment

I'll admit...that is a tough son of a gun. Unbelievable football player and not many would play through that. That being said...does anyone else...deeeeeep down inside believe he wanted these pictures to be leaked so fans would think, "Damn. No wonder he threw that interception and cost the Vikings the game. All is forgiven."?Originally posted by redany one else see the pictures of favre after the last game?

I don't "wonder." His agent gave them to the media. Not much to wonder about except why Gretta didn't get the scoop.Originally posted by Brando19I'll admit...that is a tough son of a gun.

While I do admire playing through the obvious pain, I can imagine a lot of guys could take these kind of pictures during the season."You're all very smart, and I'm very dumb." - PartialComment

Both of those injuries might have happened on the same play. McCray's helmet goes through Favre's legs and he puts a shoulder pad on each leg. That play shows what a freak of nature Favre is. A lot of guys would have had ligament damage from a hit like that. Favre ended up with a bad bruise. It was a dirty play IMO.I can't run no more

I don't remember the replay all that well but I think the NFL fined him 20G after the game and said that it was a missed call on the refs part.Originally posted by JoemailmanC.H.U.D.Comment

I dunno about dirty, I don't think McCray tried to hit him low the way he did. And he certainly didn't know Favre was getting hit up top as well. It looked pretty bad though.Originally posted by JoemailmanGo PACKComment

In order to really understand how bad those pictures are, it'd be useful to have pictures of other players' injured body parts (I just hope nobody hurt his penis) to compare.
They look really bad, for sure, but I don't know anything about professional football players and what exactly they go through, so I don't have anything to compare those pics to."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I think he looked worse at his press conference. He couldn't even stand at the podium.
