[MoPHo]

Holy balls, Favre is the only player to defeat EVERY team in the NFL...? How's that for a stat.

 

[Fear No Evil]

Rodgers - 384 yards passing. LOL

I really can't stand to watch post game interviews with players. The sideline reporters ask the stupidest questions and the players just want to get away.

How do the post-game interviews with players make you feel? Can you describe that emotion for us right now?

seeing as the Texans are an expansion team... not THAT impressive.

For the record, Brent Favre didn't "win" that game. If anything, I think you could make a strong argument that Rodgers played better overall. It was the Packers O line (and in turn the Viking D line) that really decided that game. Not to mention the Packers COMPLETE lack of ANY pass rush (and in turn leading to open WRs down field).

It was a great game no question. Best MNF I recall in a while. But now we have to listen to all the Favre praising. Now I know how all the other NFL fans felt for the past 16 years.

Jacksonville went to the playoffs 3 out of their first 4 seasons.

Carolina was one game away from the Superbowl in their 2nd season and eventually went to one later on.

Baltimore won the Superbowl in their 5th season and has been a playoff caliber team almost every year since.

I fail to see what expansion team has to do with being crappy in the NFL.

I'm firmly in the Aaron Rodgers is Better Than Brett Favre Camp, but Favre had a magical night. Some of those throws he made were really, really good. The Packers O-line was awful, but I wouldn't take that much away from Favre last night... he was good.

I dunno man. He has a FEW good tosses no question, but honestly 99% of the time he A) had all day long B) had a WIDE open WR to throw too.

"Magical"? I don't think so. You're drinking the Kool Aid on that one. He had a GOOD night, but look at the statistics, Rodgers was even better (minus the INT, and really, can we blame the kid for 1 fumble after getting creamed all night long?)

I agree. I don't see why expansion matters at all. Does the stat really MEAN anything though? It's a damned cool and unique stat though, and one, like most of Favre's records likely won't be soon broken.

GB had Peterson locked up for 55 yards, he wasn't doing anything. Favre stepped up and NAILED at least a half dozen critical throws. No he didn't have a last second TD pass to seal it like last week, but he played a flawless game. No INT's, no give aways.

Minne had Grant locked up too though. The argument swings both ways.
As for last week's pass, it was a good pass no question, but nobody talks about the catch. THAT was the highlight of that play. It was an amazing catch.

AP was shut down. Favre took that game over. Trust me, I really don't like Favre that much at this point, but I'll tip my cap to the guy when he turns in a clutch performance.

B. Favre 24/31 271 8.7 3 0 135.3

Those are pretty awesome numbers, regardless of how much of a douchebag Favre is.

 

[ViviTheMage]

Personally, I could care less who leads the vikings, but I have to admit, Favre seems to be doing a good job.

First time in a while our offense was actually doing something.

I like AR too but the fumble was on the first drive, not after all night long and the credit really goes to the guy who got the sack for ripping that ball out of there.

I worded that kinda sloppily. I meant at least it was just 1 fumble with the way he was beat up all night long. It could have and SHOULD have been worse I think.

 

[dennilfloss]

YAY VIKINGS!!!

 

[chuckywang]

Packers would be 4-0 if they had a decent offensive line. Aaron Rodgers has been sacked 20 times this season.

20!!!!

 

[Q]

Why does Favre look like he's about to cry in this interview? I feel bad for the guy, I think he knows he's old, feels bad about leaving Packers, and knows it's coming to an end (career) sometime and he just can't imagine life without playing football. Gotta have respect for someone who loves something that much, previously when he said he was coming back, I thought he was an idiot, but who am I to judge.
