Well it seems to me that when any team puts so much on the qb to make plays, there can be mistakes no matter how good the qb.
Now I don't blame this loss entirley on Manning, his d couldn't get NO off the field and give him enough chances to win the game.
Let the spin begin.... |
The difference is that favre slurpers have been FOR YEARS blaming choke jobs on every single player BUT brINT favre. The reason for the "haters" is because some of us got sick of always hearing that the WR ran the wrong route or whatever so you turd polishers could deflect any and all blame from favre. If it wasn't for the adulation and people blaming everything that went wrong with the Packers on everybody BUT brINT favre the "hater" group wouldn't exist - and we exist for the sole reason of trying to collectively pull guys like you from out of his rectum.
Winning is a team thing as is losing. Some times a single player does play a disproportionate role in either a win or a loss but generally it is a team affair. For years favre was placed on a pedestal where he only got credit and never blame - it was favre and 52 stumble bums.
This year the queens season ended on a horrible brINT favre decision. It was a terrible pass and a terrible decision by a seasoned future HOF QB at the worst possible moment in the game, when victory was very likely imminent. But it was one in a slew of self inflicted wounds that team was guilty of during the game. Nobody in their right mind is BLAMING favre for the loss - but the criticism of his reckless, brain dead decision at the moment of truth is completely justified and based on how he has ended his season in several recent years seems to be quite a trend. But criticizing him for a terrible pass is not the same as blaming the entire loss on him - not even close.
The favre acolytes for years got away with their superman and 52 stumble bums act - and often when favre's play and bad decisions were huge in leading to a Packer defeat. Several of us started pushing back on that notion and because the perspective of the acolytes is so skewed, it makes us appear to them as "haters" just because we hold favre accountable for his screw ups.
The fawning mass of worshipers has made favre an easy target to resent because it is obvious to so many that the emperor has no clothes. Those who wanted to absolve favre from everything and make him out to be a God are now finding themselves on the wrong side of history as brINT favre the myth and brINT favre the actual guy are reconciled. You all slobed his knob at every opportunity in the past and now you look like fools so instead of coming clean with a mea culpa you simply dig in and push back even harder with the "hater" rhetoric.
In short, brINT favre is a great QB with a couple fatal flaws. He made a horrible decision at the end of the NFCC game and it cost his team a good shot win that game in regulation and go to the super bowl. Peyton Manning is a great QB who made a really bad pass in the SB and it cost his team a chance to send the game into OT. No spin is needed, they both hiccuped at the worst possible time and the New Orleans Saints are Super Bowl Champions - end of story.
