[QUOTE="America, post: 246262, member: 454"] I agree with all that. But his prime was a relatively short period of time in relation to his entire career in Green Bay. For the record, the Colt defense played well in the playoffs in 2006, but for the season they were ranked 23rd in scoring and 21st in yardage My point was that it seemed to me that doughsellz was trying to make the point that the Packers were only in the playoff games because of Favre.....my research doesn't support that. It points pretty clearly to the fact that the Packers success was closely tied to their defensive success and that when they didn't have one of the better scoring defenses in the league they didn't make the playoffs. This would be in contrast to the Colts in 2006. Or the Cardinals last year who were 28th in scoring defense and 19th in yardage. I could find other exceptions as well. Daunte Culpepper, took the 200 Vikings to the NFCC with a defense that was 24th in scoring and 28th in defense. Naturally, it's always better to have a good defense. But quarterbacks have led their teams to the playoffs, and advanced all the way to the Conference Championship or even the Super Bowl, with defense FAR worse than those with which Favre was unsuccessful. So I don't agree with the assertion that we were in these playoff games because Favre got us there. I think that we were there because of the defense as much as anything else. In short, Favre is given too much credit for us making the playoffs, and not enough blame for some of our early exits. [/QUOTE]
