It’s time for this thread to retire.
I love football. I hate Bret Favre though.
However, last night proved he’s a warrior. He got absolutely pummeled and kept coming back and fighting. In the end he threw a pick, but that’s just classic Favre gunning the ball trying to make something happen.
Saint’s vs. Colts should be a great Super Bowl. I can’t imagine what the final line will be at kickoff…1 or maybe even???
I agree with all of that. Guy is tough as nails no doubt. The line has opened at Colts -5. I think the Colts are going to absolutely pound them. Vikings are the better team and would have been a better match up.I love football. I hate Bret Favre though.

If he announces his retirement it is obviously a meaningless announcement (he has proven that!). Prediction: he will play nextyear and the only thing that will cause him to retire is the inevitable injury. He is human after all, even though he has had superhuman ability to play thru it all
Listened to the FAN tonight on the way home from the office. Everyone is hating the Jets now because they talk a lot of smack. I love this. Next season is gonna be so great.JETS JETS JETS

But, if they told me Wayne and Clark would total 90 yards receiving, and the running game would have gotten about 100 yards total.......you had to figure the Jets would have been good......But Manning saw the single coverage on Garcon and Collie......kept throwing to them.....and the Jets couldn't cover those guys with single coverage.....add to that the lmited pressure on Manning, and the better team took over at the 2 minute warning of the 1st half and owned the rest of the game...... They gave use 3 extra weeks of meaningful football though.........which is nice.....[quote=mlgone]JETS JETS JETS

There it was. A Favre Special. If he runs 5 yards and slides the Vikings are in the Super Bowl, but instead he fires a pass across the middle for a pick. GAME OVER.
Now his offseason bullsh*t will begin..........[/quote] It was a Favre special, but it didn't cost them the game. Even if he did that, I think that the ball would be around the 35 yard line which makes it a 52 yard field goal. It's anything but a gimme.Jets needed a better pass rush than they showed last night. Manning is a master surgeon and the ball is his scalpel. We needed to disrupt him and we did for a short while. We just couldnt keep up with the adjustments he and his coaches made.
Gotta give the guy all the credit in the world.[quote=anonymous][quote=Ron 14]

That is the bottom line. That being said he is one tough dude who is one of the Top 3 QB's of all time and the Vikings were the better team. If AP and Harvin held onto the ball it wouldn't have mattered, but it did and he laid an egg.[quote=Sportsfreakbob]Jets needed a better pass rush than they showed last night.

Even more scary is his ability to make inexperienced and otherwise ordinary receivers look great with pinpoint passing. His #2 receiver (Gonzales) didn't even play this year. The defense is playing all-world, while the heart and soul of the secondary (Bob Sanders) hasn't played a down for most of the season. They lost Tyjuan Hagler earlier in the season and Jaurraud Powers more recently. With all the injuries they've overcome, it's scary to think how good they COULD have been. BUT...it all starts with Manning. To think there was actually controversy when the Colts picked him over Ryan Leaf...and then more controversy when they picked Edgerrin James over Ricky Williams...wow...what could have been...The chargers have beat the colts the past 2 years. You need to hit him every play(late or not) because he can’t scramble at all. The first year the chargers beat him, Merriman rocked him on every play…
The jets seemed to be doing reall well, until they stopped blitzing..According to recent news, Favre’s newest guest staying at his home in Mississippi is…
Good luck to you Deanna!Favre’s agent sends pictures of his bruises to a newspaper !!! Are you kidding me ? You played a football game and every single player on the field has bruises. You choked the game away and now you are trying to show what a “warrior” he was. Give me a f***ing break. Favre is a world class PUD and you jock sniffers should be embarrassed.
You know, the more I think of it, the more I wonder if Favre isn’t really Roger Clemens’ long-lost brother…they sure are tools of a feather. We’ll probably find out someday that he was getting shots in the ass too.
[quote=newnew]As a MN boy, I love this. It is hilarious to read the posts from Aug 09 on how much Farve will suck. I thought he might, too, who knew? But I was SO HAPPY in Aug cuz the Purple had been SO BORING for so long- at least it was not gonna be boring---and it has been AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! What a story.....286 games in a row is beyond incredible[/quote]
