[QUOTE="Hauschild, post: 263487, member: 1638"] But, no matter how you want to spin this, you ARE saying Brett Favre succumbs to the December monster. You say this, though, knowing full well that the temperature or month Favre plays in really doesn't amount to a hill of beans - it is the OPPONENT he and his teams are facing on any given night after November 30th, past midnight, blah, blah, blah .... Not to mention that it probably averages out to half of the December games Favre plays are on the road and how many of them are played in below freezing weather, maybe 20%??? None of this stuff yer peddling is buy-able, unless I talk myself into the accepting all this hate speech about Brett Favre. If anybody wants a reasonable take on this situation, listen to Jamie Dukes. He's loud and obnoxious, but he understands the NFL from a high and low level and realizes one guy is not responsible for run-blocking, pass-blocking, running, receiving and coaching. Brett would be a part, but the whole is much greater than a part in a team sport like football. Like I say time and time again, just show me the December games Favre's teams lose, and then show me the open receivers he misses CONSISTENTLY. Show me where he checks out of running plays that up to any given point during the course of a game, have been highly successful. Show me where he holds onto the ball too long and takes coverage sacks. Nobody can, because it is non-existent - it's a figment of the haters' imaginations. They want something to be true, so they make **** up and spew it so often they actually believe it. Nobody in the world understands his trade better than Brett Favre and if he is struggling (and not just one throw, either), your team is being manhandled, almost assuredly. Your running game is being stymied. Your pass protection against a four-man-front is continually breaking down. Your receivers either are not getting open or your line isn't giving Favre a pocket to step up into - he is forced to break the pocket and spend an extra second or two getting his F.O.V. back into focus. Just try it my way the next time you watch Brett Favre play. Watch HOW he plays within the context of how his team is playing. If he struggles, how has the running game been producing? Is he getting time to step up? Is he routinely missing open receivers with under throws or over throws? Are his receivers gaining separation and getting open? Are they dropping any footballs???? Watch these games within a neutral frame of mind like I do and I think you will begin to understand. [/QUOTE]
