OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

Funny how you all love to blame Favre for that loss when Harris deserves as much or more of the blame. Harris couldn't cover shit in that game,not even a hobbled Plax Burris. Quite conveniant of you all to blame Favre though.

[ThunderDan]

Of course not giving Harris help with Plax would be a coaching decision that wasn't done. BF had every WR on that play wide open and he threw it to the 1 that was covered.

BF played like shit that game. It was damn cold and you could tell from the Chicago game earlier in the year that he didn't want to be out in that cold anymore. I don't blame BF for the whole loss, the other part goes to Bush for not falling on the fucking ball. (Either way it was a team loss)

Harris had no impact on what happened after regulation time expired and overtime began. The game was lost in overtime. Not in regulation time. When you score 20 points and give up 20 points, the game is not lost. I place a healthy share of blame on Harris for us being tied at the end of 60 minutes, but he did not lose that game. He may be mostly responsible for us not winning that game, but he's not at all responsible for us losing it. He didn't have the ball in his hands with the game on the line. Favre did.

[Scott Campbell]

Harris was abused by Burress in the first half of that game. Al played poorly against a very tough matchup, and McCarthy should have adjusted and gotten him help earlier.

But Al is not a future first ballot hall of famer, and wasn't making $10M to be the undisputed leader of the Packers either. We had the ball in OT with an opportunity to go to the Superbowl, and Brett choked up another one to Tracy Porter........errrrr.........Corey Webster.

To me, Favre was a really good QB, but not a guy who puts your team over the top. He's too unreliable to get through a playoff series with anything but the absolute best supporting cast around him. His durablity and longevity are the big reasons he's accomplished so much.

Now that he's gone, I think he's very replaceable. The Packers might never have a QB that plays as long, but there are a lot of QB's out there just as capable if not more capable than Favre at winning a championship. That's all I care about, so I don't care that he's gone.

#4 couldn't even do it with what he declared was the most talented team he'd ever been on.

The fact that favre, virtually 20 years into his career and over 40, is still considered one of the top 5 QB's in the league speaks volumes to how good he really is, at least in the regular season.

....Favre declared that his first year with the Vikings was "the best season I've ever had."

That quote comes courtesy of Richard Chin of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, who adds that Favre also said, "Physically, I don't feel great."

[Scott Campbell]

The ego on that guy. He destroys his teams season with one boneheaded choker and still says it's the best season he ever had. It must have been the other Viking players fault that he didn't win the Superbowl like he did in Green Bay.

It must have been the other Viking players fault that he didn't win the Superbowl

You have to know that he's sitting there all through the off season, with Lady MacBeth whispering in his ear, thinking that all those fumbles and mistakes by everyone else were the difference in the game.

THANKSFAVRE

Interesting considering he DID win a SuperBowl with the Packers and seemingly had a pretty good season along the way. But Jared Allen is a better teammate than Reggie White. Uh huh.

This shit is getting so old. Favre was/is a great QB. Not the greatest, but great in his own right. He entertained us for years, was an integral part in putting winning seasons together year after year and for the most part endured himself to Packer fans. It ended ugly, most careers like his do. Big damn deal. Enjoy what Rodgers can do now and get over all this in fighting about a damn football player.

At least JH is starting to sound human. Someone must have knocked the shit outta him for being an ass. he has had some good posts lately....

That's a classic malapropism. So true, so true.

[mraynrand]

So for you, it was Super Bowl or bust eh? To many others, last season was a massive success.

Not at all. It was the horrific manner in which he choked away their season that made everything else irrelevant. That pass to Tracy Porter became the signature moment of his season, if not his career.

It did because it was number 3. What's that line from Bond (Goldfinger): Once is happenstance, twice is circumstance, and three times is enemy action. Favre literally threw away three NFCC games, not to mention his role in many other playoff losses. Favre throwing the critical, unforced INT in playoff games is the rule, not the exception.

I just hope Favre comes back for his 20th season.
