[QUOTE="Zombieslayer, post: 219964, member: 627"] Defenses have become tremendously more complex, and will show a lot of fakes. You think you'll be getting one form of a defense and right at the snap, it will be completely different and you'll end up throwing an interception because you didn't anticipate the defender being there. So, so much for natural talent. It's no longer like a pick up game of tackle football where you and your buddy know instinctively where to place the ball and you score 5 straight TDs on them. Instead of relying on instinct, you have to study formations for hours each night, knowing the difference between where they line up and where they really are going to be after the ball is snapped. The coaches who consistently win are the ones who can have the most adaptive defenses. Look at the Giants for instance. We were a more complete team position by position than the Giants. yet, they won the SB, not us. Does Brett Favre want to continually do all this crap? No. He wishes it was like how it was in the 90s when the West Coast Offense was still somewhat new and a good offense can overpower a good defense. I'm sure this played into why he retired. Look how bad he was in the 2 seasons before '07. Look at '07. the difference between those seasons is MM understood the NFL was changing and changed with it, adapted to it, and became a premier coach in the new NFL. He convinced Favre to study film until his eyes were bloodshot. Favre repeatedly said in interviews that if it was just playing 3 hours on Sunday, he'd want to keep playing but it's not like that any more. If it was, we'd be 8-8 and missing the playoffs instead of 13-3 and losing the CG in overtime by the team that went on to win the SB (and giving the SB winner a better game than the Pats gave them).
