[QUOTE="IPBprez, post: 11490, member: 51"] Favre has had others out there.. it wasn't like he didn't have anyone at all - remember 2001? I'll give ya this one - but then again, those guys also had the ability to run the wrong routes and drop passes, too - go back and look.. I just don't see it that way - In the end, with that 1998 Superbowl, which was Elway's first... well, it SHOULD have been our game - Holmgren forced Brett into a bad situation by keeping our Star Running Back "Dorsey Levens" out of almost the entire second half... I think there were (like) 5 running plays for the 2nd half, if that - someone said only three... but I'd have to go look again.... Just the same, the Packers were murdering the Broncos all game in the first half - and fellas? Gilbert Brown was already tired by the 2nd quarter - so that wasn't it. We were hanging in there and without Levens keeping the ball on the ground on Offense and running the clock out - you know the drill... then Brett had to force his passes, etc. What was Holmgren thinking? Did he do it on purpose because of his anger over the GM/HC roll? One wonders.... I've said something similar to this ever since it happened - but after further review - why didn't Favre just fall down on the ball? Answer me that.... Is this the WR's Coach that might have been the problem all along? This is a real question! Here... is where you and I walk together into the thick of it... I blame Rossley totally. And then I blame Sherman for not being more attentive to the need - blind trust of the OC is always gonna end up causing trouble... First Sherman should have been more attentive to Favre sitting on the bench - not treating him like it would cause him (Sherman) some type of social embarrassment if he went over to discuss the game - you know, 'being seen hanging around with the guy' - "while the game was going on"... and then He Could Have.. reviewed past historically great games of the Nineties and imitated them... brought back a few things - even if they're aren't exactly "in" among other NFL Teams around the League - why not be different? P@ck66 - Not really trying to single you out - that's not my point... But you've brought alot to the table on this discussion and I just had to relate how I felt about all of what you've said. Heck, in Holmgren's final year - if not for the Referee gift to the Niner's - He would have had one more go at the crown jewel... right? It's certainly one thing that even he will never know.... AND NO - I'm not laying all of this all on Favre's shoulders.... let's be clear about that! [/QUOTE]
