[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 81670, member: 257"] Porky, I respect your opinion, but TomAllen summed it up exactly as I saw it. Before you start blaming Favre and our (allegedly) sub-par defense, let's have a look at the outcomes of 2006. 5 games were lost by 3 points or less. (Vs. Browns, Bucs, Panthers, and Queens twice) 8 games were lost by 7 points or less. (Vs. The above, plus Bengals, Eagales and Bears) Now you can blame Favre for these losses, or try to debate that our D was no where near as good as our numbers suggest (I am still not sure how that works), but now lets see who we had for a supporting cast for Favre: Walker, Green, Davenport, Franks, and Murphy were out with various injuries (mostly season-ending). Now, let's see if I am understanding this argument correctly: Our D is overrated because our opponents were sitting on 3 point leads and trying to run out the clock in 5 of our losses? Favre is completely to blame for all of his 29 INT, despite having only one proven WR, no running game and a handful of no-name backups that were signed off the street who were unfamiliar with both GB's complicated offense and NFL-level play? I think the person who was having the most trouble managing the game was the overrated ex-HC, who rather than going into a hurry-up offense when you are 10 points behind with less than 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, would wander around the sidelines with a bewildered look on his face looking like a deer caught in headlights, all the while hoping his future HOF QB would (once again) perform a miracle in the last seconds to pull his *** out of the fire and come away with a win. I am not going to say that Favre was not responsible for some of the INTs he threw last season, but saying he is washed up, over the hill or "mentally unprepared" because of last season's debaucle is ridiculous. You mad the comment that, in your opinion, Tom Brady or Peyton Manning would have been able to do better in GB last year. Assuming that is the case, that still means that Favre is no worse than the other 29 QB that play in this league, and that hardly constitutes him being lablelled a "has been". He still managed to finish in 3rd place overall in passing, throwing for 3881 yards with only one proven receiver who was constantly under double coverage. I'd like to see 29 of the 32 QBs we have in the league accomplish that with what he had to work with. GO PACK!!! Robert C. Hedley [/QUOTE]
