[QUOTE="Zombieslayer, post: 208103, member: 627"] The thread is about Brett Favre choking in big games. For the sake of argument, let's say big games mean playoff games. Now, look at Brett Favre's overall Playoff statistics (all-time): 438-721-5311-39-28. Actually, that's not too bad. His QB rating is 85.2, which is slightly worse than his 85.7 career rating in regular season. Both are actually pretty dang good. Now, let's take the 2 most important games he's ever played - his two Super Bowls. Against the Patriots, he went 14-27-246-2-0 for an amazing 107.9 rating. Against the Broncos, he went 25-42-256-3-1 for a really good 91 rating. Hate to break it to you, but the Broncos game was lost on the ground. Elway stunk up the joint statistically. Favre [b]smoked [/b]Elway, but the Packers still lost. It takes a team to win a game. One man can only do so much. Favre has 3 MVPs, but we only got one SB win. Note the Giants win over the Patriots. Note how the entire team stepped up. Note how the D put pressure on Tom Brady and how it ruined what would have been the best QB season [b]ever[/b] in the history of the NFL. Also note how Brady was so close to perfect but they shut down the running game and made the Patriots one dimensional. It is a team effort, folks. A QB can only do so much. For those of you who put the blame on Favre for our losses in the Playoffs, please use logic and statistics instead of emotion. I know that's a lot to ask. The statistics plainly show in the two biggest games of his career, Favre looked spectacular. You can't expect to win a game though when your D allows 31 points and the SB MVP is the opposing team's RB. The Broncos made a point to keep the ball out of Favre's hands. They respected Favre's talents, and did what they could to minimize them by not giving him chances to kill them. I don't understand why some Packer fans can't appreciate Favre's talents. [/QUOTE]
