[QUOTE="Oannes, post: 149742, member: 816"] longtimefan... I didn't say you were blaming Walker. I said the article said that and that is what drove me nuts. I'm not sure about the Favre comment? Here's a portion of an MSNbc.com article where Brett, himself, talks about the play.... “Do I wish I had it back? Sure,” Favre said. “Do I wish I had a lot of passes back in my career? Yeah.” Favre credited the Eagles with dooming the play from the start. “They had the perfect blitz for the play we had called,” Favre said. “To say there was a miscommunication between Javon and I would be an understatement. He wasn’t wrong, and in some ways I wasn’t wrong. I’d thrown that pass to him numerous times where he jumps up and catches in traffic. “I knew I had to get rid of it. You can say, ‘Throw it away,’ or something like that, but in three seconds you don’t have much time to make a decision. I made a decision and you live with it, but it really shouldn’t have come down to that to be honest with you.” ====Those are some interesting words from Brett.
