Favre disses Chilly

and if the offense isn't moving and/or Favre not playing well, then he'll likely get pulled.

Wasn't this happening last night? You can make what you want of it, but Favre said in his own words that Chilly wanted to take him out and Favre said "I'm playing". Yes it does look like Favre is the one running the show. Trust me, we know what that's like here, and it's going in indeed question Chilly's leadership on the team, but didn't we know all along that Chilly isn't a true leader? Knowing Favre and Chilly, none of this is all that surprising.

Considering the Vikes were winning at halftime, I can understand Favre's arguement along with don't most starters want to play all the time? The "I'm playing" statement we hear in lots of sports, nothing new. I'm just saying that if the situation arises again, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get pulled. And frankly wouldn't have a problem with it. Favre can't overcome bad play by tackles as well as he used to so why not try something else. I think that is why Jackson is the backup every game over Rosenfels.

Better question is why did this not come up during the Arizona game; a game that was further out of reach.

Maybe it did? I guess we'll never know, but who knows if Chilly did or didn't approach Brett about coming out of that game.

There's no flaw whatsoever in that logic.

But this was a case of insubordination. Not good.

I'll be VERY interested in seeing what happens Monday night in Chi. Vikes are now 2-3 on grass and that will be very cold. Good Favre or Bad Favre? Chi cares or continues to not show up? Vikes straighten out their tackles or what?

I'd be pretty surprised if Chicago didn't show up for that game. I think y'all are a close second to rivalries with them behind us. Monday night to boot. Should be fun.

I never hear that though here in Chi or when I lived in MN. Vikes fans look at Chi almost like they do Det. Only difference is they feel a little sorry for Det. Haven't felt any animosity towards Chi since Ditka left.

Spin it how you like. Basically, the only way Chilly can pull Favre is if Chilly can convince Favre that he has a good argument for why he needs to be pulled? That doesn't sound like "nothing new" to me. It sounds pretty strange.

Favre thinks he is above the team and Chilly's a patsy. Have fun with that dynamic.

That Monday night game in Chicago, in the cold, on the grass, will be a great opportunity for Favre to show that the old song and dance about him not playing well in December is just a chimera.

Let the game begin!

The question I have.......was........

Was Chilly pulling Favre because he was playing poorly or because he was getting hammered left and right by the Panthers D and Julius Peppers ? Assuming it was the first but can anybody confirm ??

[Fritz]

I thought it was the latter - he was trying to protect Favre.

I doubt there will ever be a public statement that it was because of his poor play, regardless of the real reason.

What we should see now his heavy doses of damage control. Believe nothing.

Silly rats, that is just brett being brett. The man is a competitor, a warrior. He isn't going to come out of a game just cuz he is taking a few hits (other than NE in '06 and Dallas in '07).

Look, brett relearned a lesson when he tossed a tantrum and took the pine against dallas cuz his play was embarrassing (don't care what anyone says, he was not hurt that game, the look on his face on the sideline said it all). ARod showed what he had in that game and it ultimately made the team confident enough to let brett go. Do you really think he is going to come out of a game and have TJack come in and play better than he is thus causing a huge controversy? NO EFFFIN WAY!!
