Agreed.
Just being a sore loser cause the Vikes lost the game and H.F.A. in the playoffs with Burnt as QB.
Whereas the Pack won the game and a playoff spot with A-Rod as the QB.
(And with some help from the Panthers as well.)
Stats don't mean a darn. Winning is all that counts. At least for me anyway.
Stats may win a place in the H.O.F. but they don't always win S.B.
I'm starting to believe that you really don't understand ... I mean ... read what you write ? It's so tragic that it borders to being actual comical ...
- There is almost no other quarterback in the league that wins (in general) as much as Favre does and has done ... - So why are you still "blinded" by "hatred" ? - Why can't you just acknowledge that he *still* "has it" ? - Even at age 40+ ...
Regardless, I found these stats ... - Should give you all something to ponder about ...
These are the stats for each quarterback (mentioned) during the months of December and January ... as well as the seasonal averages for comparison ... - Hmmm seems like Favre is far from being the only quarterback with "December Woes" ...

Or ... Could it simply be that it's actual only the "Natural order" of things that players actually perform slightly (statwise) worse at the end of a (long) season in general across the board ? ... But then again ... how can that be ??? ... Should only be Favre that has "December Woes" ? Right ?
- Something to ponder about ...
*Edit* - Since I know people are going to bring it up anyway, I am adding the statistics from the 2 last play off games Favre played (while playing for the Packers ...), conviently ... Most people always seem to forget the Seattle Game when mentioning that year ...;
Against Seattle (12th of January 2008 ):
Cmp% 78.3 - 3 Td 0 Int - Rating 137.6 - 173 Yds
Against New York Giants, one week later (20th of January 2008 ):
Cmp% 54.3 - 2 Td 2 Int - Rating 70.7 - 236 Yds
Both games were played under cold conditions ... - Perhaps losing the game had more to do with how everyone on that field was looking that night, than anything else ... ???
