[QUOTE="Clay's Jock Strap, post: 269807, member: 1977"] I can't take credit for this post - I lifted if off of a guy from another board... But I agree with it 100% -------------------------------------------------------- When are people going to wake up and realize that Favre is as popular as he is because he is one of the most fun QB's to watch play and he is as tough as nails? It surely isn't because he can come through for you in the clutch or be productive in the playoffs...although with the media's spin, most people actually believe that. Here is a nice little recap I borrowed from a different site and makes me so happy that Favre isn't around anymore to break our hearts year after year. Jan. 20, 2002 The storyline: The 12-4 Packers have a shot to reach the conference championship game for first time since the 1997 season if they beat 14-2 Rams in the divisional round. The result: BrettFavre throws 6 picks – tying the single-game NFL record for postseason picks last matched by a passer back in 1955. Jan. 4, 2003 The storyline: The 12-4 Packers were one of the best teams in football, playing at home against the tepid 9-6-1 Falcons. The result: Brett Favre sinks like a lead weight, reserving one of his worst performances of the year (20 of 42, 47.6%, 247 yards, 5.9 YPA, 1 TD, 2 INT, 54.4 rating) for when it matters most in a 27-7 loss. It was Green Bay's lowest offensive output of the season. The Packers suffered their first-ever home playoff loss in franchise history. Jan. 11, 2004 The storyline: The Packers need to produce just one drive in overtime to beat the Eagles and then battle the Panthers for a chance to go to Super Bowl XXXVIII. The result: On Green Bay's first play of overtime, Brett Favre tossed a bad pass into the hands of Eagles defender Brian Dawkins. Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb quickly drove his offense into easy field goal range for the victory. Brett Favre passed for 180 yards, one of his lowest outputs of the year. Jan. 9, 2005 The storyline: The 10-6 Packers draw a gimme, landing the 8-8 Vikings at home in the wildcard round of the NFC playoffs. The result: Favre turns out a gruesomely disfiguring playoff performance (22 of 33, 66.7%, 216 yards, 6.5 YPA, 1 TD, 4 INT, 55.4 rating), as Packers suffer a humiliating 31-17 loss to one of the worst teams ever to reach the playoffs. Had the Seahawks not lost to the Rams just one day earlier, Favre would have been the first quarterback in history to lose a playoff game to a .500 team. Jan. 20, 2008 The storyline: Brett Favre’s 13-3 Packers were favored at home against the 10-6 Giants on one of the coldest nights in Lambeau Field history. The result: Brett Favre, and the Packers offense, suffered one of the most colossal collapses in history. In the fourth quarter and overtime, Favre completed 4 of 10 passes for 32 yards with 2 INTs. Green Bay’s final four drives, with a Super Bowl appearance easily within their grasp, went for 0, 7, 0 and 2 yards. Favre’s final pick, on the second play of overtime, led directly to the Giants’ game-winning field goal. The 2008 season The storyline: Brett Favre moves to a new team and leads the Jets to an AFC East-best 8-3 record through 11 games. The result: Brett Favre was dreadful during the team’s stretch-run collapse, throwing 2 TDs against 9 picks. INTs lead directly to losses, and the Jets went 1-4 over the final five games, and missed the playoffs despite their hot 8-3 start. Jan. 24, 2010 The storyline: Brett Favre’s Vikings totally outplay the favored Saints in New Orleans for four quarters in the NFC title game. The result: Brett Favre’s Vikings are tied 28-28 with 19 seconds to play and face a 3rd and 15 at the Saints 38. They need a mere five yards to get a shot at a game-winning field goal to send Minnesota to the Super Bowl for the first time in 33 years and fulfill all the hopes and dreams that the organization put in the quarterback when they hastily signed Brett Favre during training camp. The only thing Brett Favre can’t do is throw an interception. So … BrettFavre throws an interception right into the hands of Tracy Porter. The Saints get the ball in overtime and proceed to go down and kick the game-winning field goal. [/QUOTE]
