Favre Prediction Thread

[Fritz]

I continue with what I have said all along. He may actually lose a little effectiveness due to throwing less than usual. Which will also keep him healthy for the entire season. And, if he falters then Chilly immediately goes to Sage. Chilly has to get to a playoff win this year to keep his job. Can't worry about anyone's feelings at this point.

Feelings....nothing more than feelings.....

If Brett Favre plays for the Vikes this year....fuggem!

I understand your point and I agree with it. But I think you left out one part of the equation - The consecutive game streak.

Do you think Childress wants, as part of his legacy, to be the "guy" who sat down the consecutive game streak leader? That'd be tough, even if he found himself out of work for it. Barring an injury, it'll be tough to switch QB's. Even if there is an injury, doesn't Brett's recent history suggest he'll go whining to the media?

I think this is tougher than you think it is. But it'll be interesting, as there is little doubt that he'll play.

I think, once Favre has Marshall's old record in hand, it won't be as big a deal.

Personally I don't think Childress has the guts but....Oh how I would love to see it happen. It'd be great! In his quest to get even, Brent goes to Minnesota and gets benched.

And while I'm "dreaming",(cause Childress has no nads) it happens at Lambeau Field. Right after Brent throws what ends up as the game losing interception to Woodson, who returns it for a touchdown!

Oh, do I dare to dream?

I predict Favre will wait 'til the 31st, then retire (or at least not unretire).

I predict your prediction is wrong MJ.

No situation could better present itself now for Brett Favre then to handle the starting QB duties on the Vikings. No writer of fiction could script it any better. I've never seen a better story in all the decades I've enjoyed professional sports.

It's beyond classic. Favre will be a Viking. Favre will play very well as a Viking. The same question I always have concerning Brett Favre remains. Can he remain healthy? That always bothers me and he must get into top condition or he'll go down.

GO PACK GO!

[woodbuck27]

24 TD's
14 INT's
3479 yards

Playoffs for the Vikings

If he stays healthy. I would expect at least 3500 yards and 22 TD's. There will be weeks when Brett Favre is the outstanding QB in the NFL. The number of picks won't matter as the Vikings will make the playoffs and Favre will be happy and upbeat.

comeback player of the year and superbowl appearance.....

Ohh heck! Let's not mess around here.

Favre will lead the Minnesota Vikings to the Super Bowl 'in Brett Favre's world' or why even continue. It's like Tom Watson at 59 years of age and last weeks stunning British Open results . Tom Watson said he wouldn't be in that great Championship if he didn't feel he could win.

He nearly and stunningly pulled it off. He had the imagination of the golfing world and who couldn't pull for him. He was one stroke up on the 18th of the final round. In the middle of the fairway. Just safely on and two putts for the win. Suddenly our world came crashing down with Tom Watson's.

I watched that man play golf last week and I totally understood Brett Favre and why the greatest continue to compete. It's the magic of the story. The saga. The Legend.

If Brett Favre ever gets his Viking team to the Super Bowl. He'll have a ton of NFL fans pulling for him. That's where it's at. How many of us will ever have that opportunity? How many of us may or not cheer for Favre if the Packers falter?

Only stubborness dictates a false heart.

And I believe that MN will become the hot ticket for incoming coaches after Chilly gets fired. (if he doesn't win a playoff game)

We have a fella up here coaching the Montreal Alouettes named Marc Trestman who is something else. I believe he'll make an outstanding HC for some fortunate NFL team.

He has NFL coaching experience and has worked alot mentoring NFL QB's I understand. His players love his all in for the team attitude. No player is above another is his style. He's also got a superior offensive mind and approach.

Eventually we'll see him in the NFL and I'd love to see him as the Packer HC but I decided to post this for what it's worth.

Marc Trestman = a good one.

Woody, he also has a lot of connections to Minnesota. So it's possible, but I think ownership would want to go for the biggest and best name. (sell tickets) They took Chilly as their first act when they didn't completely know what they were doing. Now with experience, and a SB goal they have shown no worries about spending to get to, I would expect to see them go after a Cowher-Shanahan-Dungy type. Money isn't an issue for them.

I agree with Fritz, that the record will be his so it may lessen the impact. But also, MN has proven that QB play is their achilles, it would only take decent play to win there, and Chilly didn't care last year when Frerotte and Jackson whined. Personally, I'd rather have a legacy of still working and winning than even considering being the "guy". But I hear ya. Sometimes though I wonder where this Chilly doesn't have the guts stuff comes from. I don't remember anything yet that fits that description. I may have forgotten though. I just think he makes the decisions he believes are best and they don't always get understood by outsiders.

That analogy is completely wrong to compare to BF.

Tom Watson hasn't played with PGA Tour level competion on a regular basis for 9 years. What Tom Watson did was amazing.

A starting QB playing one more year at the end of their career is pretty normal, thou doing it at 39 probably makes it newsworth if you got rid of all the other BF drama.

[Pugger]

If the Packers falter and the Queens with BF have success I can not, in good conscious, root for MN. It is against my religion, no matter WHO their starting QB is.

I don't know Woody, I blead green and gold(got the tatoo to prove it), but I'll be rooting for his ass this year(his last).

I want my Packers to do well and make the playoffs( i might even put money on it),but, the Packers will always be here, and I would rather see the old man win one more before he rides off into the sunset.

Hey, thats just how I feel
