[QUOTE="Hauschild, post: 263446, member: 1638"] Correct. A person would have to be intentionally blinding themselves to NOT understand what is going on in Minnesota - really. If you come at this argument with an axe to grind against Favre, then you'll never really understand NFL football and how it all fits together. Favre has got an O-line (WHICH I STATED FROM THE PRE-SEASON) that cannot handle upper-tier pash rushes, and cannot run block consistently no matter which defense they play. This is why I kept telling you guys that Minnesota was going to be losing ball games down the stretch - not because Favre sucks at the strike of midnight on November 30th (Really, people, don't you see how foolish this reads????) but because the level of defensive talent the Vikings faced in the second half of the season was pretty brutal. When you're facing 4 straight top 12 passing defenses to finish the season, that generally means that if you cannot rush consistently to open up the pass, you're QB is toast. Again, we saw it today with Carolina utterly dominating the Giants - they have a stifling defense and now with horrible Delhomme out of the picture, they can score points. Thank God they are not in the playoffs (even if Steve Smith broke his arm). Brett has become so automatic as a QB that I firmly believe he isn't capable of playing a POOR GAME. A bad throw once a quarter? Maybe. But, a bad GAME for 60 minutes? Obviously, that makes absolutely, positively no sense, unless you are the type that doesn't have a firm grasp of how the NFL really works. When Favre struggles early and his line cannot block the pass rush and his line cannot open rushing lanes and his coaches cannot make in-game adjustments successfully, is this the fault of Brett's? Actually, is it reasonable to fault ONE PLAYER over the 21 other starters? Or, is it more rational and accurate to understand that one man cannot cover for incompetence across the board - especially when facing upper-echelon teams??? I'm merely the messenger with no axe to grind either way. [/QUOTE]
