Oh, yes. The finale of yesterday's game was unbelievable. Vikings have been on the losing end of Favre's performances too many times during his career. This feels good... 8)
The only thing that could have made it better is if it had occurred next week when the Vikings play the Packers in the 'dome on MNF.
[clap]
That's what happens when you give him an actual running game.
Blow. me.
Less-than-warm regards,
A 9er fan...
that was brutal. I had just finished a discourse in how he should get into coaching, if he loves the game so much and can't leave it, and was promptly shut up as that drive unfolded... that was vintage Favre.

Very true - that certainly takes the pressure off of him in some game scenarios. The only thing that worries me is that he seems really fragile. I know Favre is a tough SOB, but a 40yo player can only take so many big hits before he's sidelined.
As long as he lasts, though, it's gonna be fun to watch this season unfold for my Vikings. Skol!

why does everyone feel the need to suck farve off?
if the defender had gotten his arm a bit higher that woudln't have been a TD.
if the receiver hadn't jumped at the right time or if his left foot came down an inch further over that wouldn't have been a TD.
I have been a fan of Favre since.... well since I first saw him play an NFL game in 92'. I still think he has the ability to play the QB position and really (although I have never been a Viks fan) am excited about the possibility of this season. The reason being is that for the first time in his career he does not have an entire team leaning on him to win the game. The Viks are Peterson's team not Favre's.
He will only be required to not lose the game in MOST situations. However, for him to show, as he did yesterday, that he still has what it takes to make the big play was awesome.
Break down that pass before you say the catch was better though. The catch was incredible and the fact that he kept his feet inbounds even moreso impressive. Look at the throw though. Avoiding the initial rush, then a 2nd what should have been sack, then as he is getting tackled from behind he is simultaneously relasing what is in actuality a 45 yard pass on a rope (not a floater) which would have went 55 yards easy before landing if it had not been caught, and finally the pass is ACCURATE.
No one could have done that again even Favre if they tried .

It wasn't just that play that caused all the hoopla. It was the 80yd drive with no timeouts for the win that caused it. ;)
Farve is a great QB.
If he was to be playing for the Cleveland Browns he would be an idiot !
Nothing can save the Browns from themselves ......they eat their young . i.e. pulling Brady Quinn after 3 games.
Oh, by the way, I've been a Browns fan since 1960.

You can make arguments like that for every good play during an entire season - it is sort of worthless to do what ifs.
They came back and won in the last minute of the game - period. Farve was instrumental in it, and he has been doing such come backs his whole career. Plus, he is still throwing blocks for people down field at 40. How many 30yo qbs do that?

that won't change the fact that people feel the need to suck him off every chance they get.

Its not the browns, its Mangini, that guy is make the beast with two backsing RETARDED. He doesnt care about football, he doesnt care about the game. He just cares about having a job. Once the team starts losing, he gives up. Mangini was why the Jets suck. After he left, things started picking up because even a 5th grader could be more motivating than him.
Well, if we're sucking QB cocks, have you seen how the young guys are playing? Sanchez, Flacco, Matt Ryan? Too early to jump on Sanchez' bandwagon and Matt Ryan has played very well even with his last loss, but Flacco is the savior of Baltimore. You also have Drew Brees. This year is the return of the super star QB's. This is mostly because of running back by commity and the focus of many teams to stopping the run.
I have been watching the Packers for the last 20 years. I have to say that watching Farve play for the Vikings is really against everything I stand for. However after GB ran him out of town, I could not be happier for him. He still has probably 5 years of good football left in him. I still want the Packer's to win (14 and 2) that would be fine if the Vik's win the 2 each year.
Favre (note the spelling people ;)) sucks. Always has...always will.
GO BEARS!! ;D

I believe this time last year there was much the same accolades heaped on the indecisive one. Not saying the same thing will happen this year, but it could.

41 for 59 517 yds 7TD's and no picks in the last two games. ;)
Favre had another great game today. It was really sad (and just pathetic really) to hear all the Packer fans boo him as he took the field. The guy just wants to play, and was no longer given the chance in Green Bay, so he looked elsewhere.
Great to see him play so well despite the situation. Probably felt really good [thumbsup]
WHEN they enshrine him in Canton, he'll be remembered as a Packer. Packers fans should remember that.
When Green Bay played in Cleveland, MANY of the Packers fans were wearing Favre jerseys.

It wasn't pathetic...it was great! Green Bay didn't kick Favre out...he RETIRED. Then, after GB had given the starting position to Rogers, Favre said he wants to come back. WTF? Nice position to put the team in. Rodgers is GB's future, and team management knew it. If they'd have given Favre back his job, Rodgers would have been furious. They can't treat their future QB like that. Everything would have been fine at GB if Favre wouldn't have retired and then tried to come back.
Also, If he would have came back as a Jet (or any other non-NFC North team) he would have gotten cheers. But a VIKING?!? The only thing worse is if he would have went to the Bears. Seriously, all the other teams in the league and he went to GB's second most hated (close second) rival.
He deserved to get booed, and deserves it every time he plays in GB with the Vikings. Just like how Jason Giambi got booed after he left the A's for the hated Yankees. Us A's fans loved Giambi, and he up and left despite the $120M contract offer...so he got booed...every single time he played in the Coliseum for the next 8 years. When he came back to the A's this year, he was cheered again, as he hould have been.
Finally, Favre knows why the fans booed him...because they love him. It doesn't bother him, and I'm sure he expected it. They didn't boo Ryan Longwell (kicker) because no one really cared about him. Fans boo the players they love and wish were still on the team. When Favre enters the Hall as a Packer, GB will again cheer him. They will also probably retire the number 4. Similar situation with the 49ers, who retired Montana's number after he entered the Hall. Only difference is Montana played for the neutral Chiefs, not the hated Cowboys before retiring.
[popcorn]
I actually agree with some of what you are saying, BUT, he was a packer for many many years, won them a super bowl and will likely go to the hall of fame as a packer, yet all the "fans" booing him was tasteless and disrespectful. Period.
He was a Packer for 16 years. If the fans booing him was tasteless and disrespectful, then him going to the Vikings was the same. Team/player loyalty has to work both ways. ;)
I would have booed him too if I was a Packers fan. Besides...things like this are what makes sports fun to watch and follow. [thumbsup] Booing players shouldn't be taken too seriously. ;)
