You mean like Kurt Warner, undrafted F.A. in '94?? 9 and 4 in the postseason which is clearly superior to The Interceptor's 13 and 11 record.
I think the Vikings will

Favre was the MVP that season.
Let's keep it real, no Favre no SB. He didn't win it alone, but he was a key cog.

I honestly think it's a bit early to uncrown the former division champs & 2009 NFC #2 seed yet...that D is still really good...now if we beat them once, I'll start to go along with it, we beat them twice, I'm jumping up and down and crapping all over viking forums 
dude! wtf.. as I saw the pic, that is exactly what I was gonna post, then i scroll down a bit further and there it is! Get out of my head!!!!!!!!
agreed, favre was in top form that year. I hate favre as much as anyone but I cant rip what he did in the 90s.

If this keeps up Favre will probably come up with some lame excuse to get out of playing us simply because he doesn't want a loss to Rodgers on his record.

Mike Mayock is blaming the receivers and the OL in NFL Playbook. Yeah, right... It's always someone else...

Favre will not finish out the year, nor will he be back. If he gets injured enough to miss a start and end his streak, it will be a "career ending " injury. If Chilly finds enough balls to bench Favre and end his streak, Favre will suffer a phantom "career ending" injury. If the Vikings get in a big enough hole where there's no way they crawl out, Favre will suffer a phantom "career ending" injury. If he continues to embarrass himself with his poor play, he will suffer a phantom "career ending" injury.
He'll quit and go home. Then he'll cry on TV and talk about how this injury was there all along. It wasn't his fault. He tried to play through it. Bla bla bla.

That's MISTER Cheesehead, to you.
I do not believe that two poor performances in a row spells the end for Favre. He has played poorly throughout his career in many back-to-back game stretches, only to rebound just fine. Yes, he is certainly older and more vulnerable than ever, but jumping to the conclusions posted above seems premature (and overly optimistic) imo.
Also, I would be seriously surprised if he does not start due to a coach's decision. Especially considering Childress' spineless nature. Would any coach have ever benched Cal Ripken Jr. during his streak? No way. Ripken ended up benching himself as he realized that he was hurting his team. Class act, eh?
Don't expect Favre to do the same, however.
He will rebound (likely, imo) and the Vikings will be a more dangerous team, or he won't (less likely) and he will drive the team straight into mediocrity or less. Only then will he depart.

I agree that two bad showings will not force him into quitting but I think those two losses combined with divison loss to the lions will put those thoughts into his head. I think it is far fetched to think Favre would quit no matter what their record is because he is just too worried about what other people think and that would give everyone the ammo needed to question him as a player and a good ol boy.
If anything it would take an injury or benching to get him out. If they keep losing all he will need is on reason, large or small, and I think he will try and justify not finishing the season.
I love Favre and am a huge fan but while he is in purple I wish nothing but the worst for him.

I know that. It's just that Aaron Nagler of CHTV was arguing that the guy was professional, etc...
But truth is, he's a HUGE homer. I figure it's a precedent to work in MN, as the team sucks so bad that the announcers have to be homers to keep fans from leaving the team...
