Yeah Ziggy was wanting Brett and his 12 million dollar arm trying to bring down a man of his size with two very large escorts at his side. I am sure those guys would love to put a good lick on a guy who has torched them for 334 yards. So surely you didn't expect him to lay his body out for that? The interception was not on him so you sound like you heard INT so right away you grasp at that. We all know nobody in sconny wants Favre to win and we all know people in minny want him to win so lets see how it plays out. Favre had a great game in a defensive struggle I thought. I would bet I watched more of the vikings game than most of you. That Steelers defensive is tough and Favre was moving the ball and gave them a chance. That was a fairly soft pass that him dead in the hands.
Weak argument because we are all aware of how Brett has no problem sacrificing his body for the betterment of his club. If he makes cut blocks on linebackers and cornerbacks and lineman - which is MUCH more dangerous, physically than a tackle - what is wrong with making a simple grab-the-legs-and-pull-down tackle??? I don't think I've ever seen a player injure himself making a tackle coming from behind; the guy being tackled, yeah sometimes, but the tackler has the advantage of preparing accordingly. Remember Big Ben against the Colts a few years back? He had the stones to atone for his mistake and it ended up enabling Pittsburgh to win that game and then the Super Bowl.
Favre chose to Sally-boy his way thru that play and the fumble cost his team at least 3 points. The failure to tackle cost his team an additional 7. That's a swing of at LEAST 10 points.
Favre's pick cost his team at LEAST 3 points and cost his team another 7 - again, another swing of at LEAST 10 points.
So, Favre was directly responsible for at LEAST 20 points that either Minnesota didn't score and Pittsburgh did. That ain't good.
