Favre impregnated my wife all the way from Minnesota.

God this Favre mania is nauseating.

just wait for the Lambeau game

 

[Limp Ditka]

People need to stop with the "if GB had kicked the FG" Stuff. GB made the right call and their TE simply messed up the play. GB could have just as easily attempted that FG and the kicker missed it. It would have been no different.

Couldn't be more wrong.

The coach called a play that should have worked and would have worked had his TE executed it. One guy ruined it. A kicker could have just as easily been that guy who ruined it. Laugh all you want, but any coach in the NFL or even high school football would go for it 100% of the time if you could promise them their TE would have that opportunity as the end result of the play.

1 - The coach did not call a play that worked. If he did, then Rodgers wouldn't have had to go to his 4th or 5th read. He got lucky that the O line actually held off the hounds because they didn't at any other time tonight.2 - When you are trailing, you never pass up an opportunity to put points on the board before the 4th quarter.

Yes he called a play that worked. He called a play that put his team and players in a situation for success. It's up to the players to execute the plays.

The play called is not what worked. Here's where I pretend that I'm shocked that you don't understand that

I couldn't help think tonight of how good could Minnesota be if they took Aaron Rodgers instead of Troy Williamson in that draft.

Thank you Mr. Thompson and Green Bay for letting Favre go. Signed the Minnesota Vikings

 

[Werewolf Moderator Fan]

Compare the percentages of making that pass vs. a very short FG.You fail at Football.

You fail at expected utility theory.

WOOOT !!!!

 

[Billy1x]

If one thing can be made clear tonight, it's this. Brett Favre NEVER played behind an O-Line as bad as this one. Rodgers is a keeper. The focus for GB must be to add talent to the O-Line.

Baloney!!!!!!! The line when he threw 28 intercepetions was the worst in NFL history by a long shot. This line is at least twice as good if not three times.He also didn't have the greatest wide receiver core in the history of the Packers and noted to be the best in the NFL right now. Favre did it with only ONE wide reciever (Driver) and no tight end.

Are you stupid? By this logic they should go for it on 4th down every time. I mean so long as the coach calls a play that works they should jut execute it, right?

This line is not twice as good as that one.That one still had Clifton and Tauscher and I believe Flanagan at C.Colledge at LT...then Lang...is not anywhere close to that line. Please stop.

The Defense went home and gave up 30 pts average per game requiring Brett to try to come back 20 pts down every game with only half an arm. The DEFENSE was so bad they fired the entire coaching staff after the season.

Well Vikes fans, Im happy for you that your team is 4-0. You have a great RB and a phenomenal defense You also have tremendous fans and are long overdue for a team that can make it back to the Super Bowl. That said, the hoopla around your QB makes it difficult to root for you. Hope you understand. Also, not crazy about your coach.

Congrats again.

NO, I'm just not blind is all. Oh, never mind. You win since you reverted to the name calling 1st!Bad call should have kicked the FG.

He hardly got touched tonight and the Packers have shown little to no pass rush all year. What makes you think it's going to change next time?

all I need is phase and the gang will be all here.psst...im not the only one who thinks it may have been happening...No, I don't ever stop dealing in reality...you should try it some time.

 

[BeaverCleaver]

Calling plays around the endzone to try to pad Favre's stats in this one...

Its the truth. Twice down inside the 3 they called play action.It about burned them once.

I'd say this is proof to show you actually agreed with the comment they were calling plays to pad Favre's stats. sho, you really need to think before you post sometimes.

Umm...who is hating or making excuses?And I don't think Rodgers withered under any pressure...unless you watched a different game where he did not keep getting back up and gunning for more?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Who gives a crap if they were padding Favre's stats by throwing inside the 5? The plays worked, and they won the game, so who cares?

Rodgers played great, too. If Lee catches that 4th down pass in the end zone, who knows how the game turns out.

Great game Viks. For how hard it is to see Favre in purple, it's both sad and pleasurable, to still see the magic.

You guys have a great thing going on right now. Enjoy it.

 

[packersfan]

Props to the Vikings. They were the better team tonight and deserved to win. Favre was magnificent and Allen also was outstanding. The Vikings are a legitimate Super Bowl contender at this very early juncture of the season. Whether that's still the case in December remains to be seen but they're off to a great start.

I don't really care. Apparently there are 2 who care so much that I agreed with a comment they have to keep going on and on about it...well, they don't care about the actual play...just that I had the nerve to agree.

Please tell me this is Rodgers was 26/37 for 384 yards and 2 TDs. (And should have had a 3rd) All while his offensive line was allowing him to be sacked 7+ times.
