[QUOTE="skibum55, post: 247540, member: 437"] Since you are so keen in pointing out the disaster that was 2005, and this being a "team" game here are some statistics for you (as seen in [url=http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/11_2773_A_northern_saga.html]Cold, Hard Football Facts.com: A northern saga[/url]): "Here's a breakdown of eight games in that terrible 2005 season in which Favre was largely responsible for Green Bay's losses.

Then in the fourth quarter, with the Packers trailing just 12-7 and driving for a game-winning score, Favre threw a pick that was returned 45 yards for a touchdown by Nathan Vasher. Game over.
