Is it Favre?

[packinpatland]

But Walker, who bruised his shin earlier in the second quarter, changed his deep route and safety Brian Russell had an easy interception. Two plays later, Burleson burned Carroll for a 19-yard touchdown catch that made it 24-10.

You're very quick to point Favre's INT's, where does fault lie with this one?

Re: Sherman

I just think everyone saw the Philly game and realized it was the worst coaching job of all time in a play-off game.......

It wasn't only 4th and 26th that was the boneheaded play, but not going for it on 4th and inches when your RB racked up 1800 yards that season.

There were several calls that game that were stupid from a coaching stand-point.

I vaguely remember a game where the Packers held the Lions' Barry Sanders to next to nothing yards.
When was that??

Wild card game after the '94 season.

it was -1 yards rushing.

I'm not pointing fingers at anything in this game.

Favre had a really bad day. That can't be refuted. Favre was disappointed in that performance.

QUARTERBACK BRETT FAVRE: (on how he feels after this loss to the Vikings)

"Terrible and that is an understatement. I expect more out of myself, obviously. My expectation out of myself and this team are probably no different than everyone in this room and everyone watching the game. As I was talking to Mike Sherman just now I said, 'you know it's a lame excuse but I am going to use it anyway, some days it's just not your day for some reason.' I know some people will say it is a home playoff game and it does not get any better than that and it doesn't. I was prepared to play this game, how could I not be we just played them two weeks ago. Our team was prepared. They (the Vikings) were prepared too. I knew it would be difficult, but I give them credit but it was disappointing. We have been down this road before and I don't know if that makes it easier or worse but I wish them the best of luck. But I sure wish we could have went on and seen what we could have done."


The TO ratio of 4-0 against us was a killer.That can"t be refuted. That can"t be blamed on Mike Sherman.

I don"t always blame a pick on the QB. The reason for a pick has to be analyzed.

I'm rather passing on an opinion on how the Favre flip after he crossed the line of scrimmage and could have easily run for a first down if not a TD and his facial reaction to that play . . .
may have incensed the Packer people in power.

It's just a query that I'm hanging out there for a response.

I think they held him the Lions to -13 as a team in that game, but I could be off.

I've always maintained the combination of Favre at QB and the weak NFC North conspirated to inflate Sherman's win-loss record.

Try to imagine if he had Joey Harrington instead. Yes, perhaps it made a bit of a difference.

/I think the 13 you may be thinking of is Sanders's carry total 13 carries -1 yards. Lions as a team had -7.
