Now all they need to do is "fire" (ie, bench) Favre and maybe then they'll have a snowball's chance.

It would help if the defense showed up too. Not that I mind....Go Pack!

 Time for Farve to retire "again".

[General_01]

Favre may have lost a step, but he is still the best QB the Vikes have. Even Aikmen says they wouldn't have gone after Brett if Jackson was worth anything.

If you watched last year, Rice, Shiancoe and Harvin were all threats. Berrian was a bust and still is. We also had a back in Chester Taylor that could block on third downs as well as be a legitimate catch and run threat. Now we have Harvin, who has been playing while pretty banged up and Shiancoe, who was hurt earlier as the only threats in the passing game. Those other guys are 2nd string receivers at best. Peterson is a good back, but he sucks at 3rd down blocking. On top of that, we lost our center and moved guys around in the front line for some time this season. Favre has spent more time on the ground this year than he did all last year.

Hopefully Frazier will be a better coach, but he has had all season to make changes on the defense and we still suck. Our defense is predicated on corners that can cover and tackle on their own. Allen and Cook are a rookies at conerback and have gotten burned numerous times. Guess which guys were covering the receivers for almost every score yesterday?

You need an offensive line that can block, receivers that can catch and a defense that stops the other teams to make it all work. Last I heard, Favre only plays QB. My

It only took 5 years!!!!

[ACUDANUT]

Favre has never thrown so many interceptions in his career. He is old, he has to drug up before every game...Time to GO.

[bmoparmofo]

Ummm.....Go Lions? 

[BB1]

Chargers!  , kicked the donkeys ass.

In a way, you gotta feel for Favre. He's officially now one of those old guys that are desperately trying to hang on despite being way past their prime. Sucks, cuz he was a hell of a player and almost universally respected (even I was like "wow" when he destroyed the Raiders the day after his father died), until he started playing the "yes/no/maybe I'll retire" game with the Packers and then went mercenary with the Jets and Vikes. Now he's just an old diva. It's a sad way to end one's career, with a tarnished legacy...

 What does "Go Pack Go Mean ?

I am going to take a wild guess that you are not from Wisconsin or a Green Bay Packer fan.

[oldgold69]

 brent could have been a  legend in green bay  like bart starr where you couldn't say a bad word about him  but he burned his bridge and will forever be a joke in packerland  he could have finished on top and a winner  but not any more  theres a barn on the way up to my dad that expresses it all it reads  4  ever in our broken hearts

Gotta agree... he was one of the best, in his day, but that day has passed.... shoulda quit after last year, because everyone knew there was no way he could repeat that performance.

Repeat what?  throwing interceptions to lose the game?  he's doing a good job of that so far this year.

Hey...he did win a Super Bowl. Even though the MVP was...a special teams player.

If you want to rate an entire career (or season, for that matter) based on one play, you aren't looking at the overall picture.  He played outstanding for the majority of the season... based on that, anyone other than a Drew Brees fan could be eating the same sour grapes you are (and we can see how much they have to cheer about THIS year).

I am curious to know how Favre burned bridges in Wisconsin?   It's always interesting to hear what the Packer fans think of Favre now.  I am from Minnesota and the media has made it seem as if he was almost forced into retirement by the Packers.    You can't blame the guy for wanting to play even though the Packers didn't want him.  I think its pretty pathetic that he gets boo'ed by some of the Packer fans just because he doesn't play with them anymore.   They should probably appreciate everything he did for them for so many years....even the interceptions.

[ACUDANUT]

 Farve is, "like" what ...Joe Montana was to Kansas City. A dying legacy.

I think the GM and headcoach at Green Bay were tired of Farve and the I'm going to retire, then not retire saga the last couple years. Whether they admit it or not that did get old. That last cold playoff game against the Giants in Green Bay was the end of the line for Farve. I think he was pretty down after that game and might have thought it was the last chance for him. He kept saying that he was mentally wore out. I don't think he was really ready when he made the official retirement speech, but that was the green light for the team to go with Rodgers as the quarterback. Most fans didn't really want Farve to retire and it was not a popular decision to not bring him back when he wanted to.  As it turned out, the decision to go with Aaron Rodgers has been a good move for Green Bay and that has made it much easier for fans to move on. If Green Bay were not winning you can bet that fans would still be screaming for Farve.

The unfortunate part, and what has turned some fans against Farve, was the move to the Vikings. Whether he intentionally went there to get the chance stick it to the Packers or win a Super Bowl is almost irrelevant. There are always two sides to every story and we don't know all the details that went into his original retirement decision at Green Bay. The one thing I am pretty sure of is that he never had any bad feelings for the fans but was mad at the Green Bay leadership and enjoyed showing them a thing or two last year. He really should have retired at the end of last season because that was quite a good show he put on until that last throw. Live by the gun, die by the gun.

that was a poor choice of words. but it is a bad situation all the way around.  ted thompson started it  by letting  farve go.  favre would not have liked to be backup qb. if he got traded the fans would have killed thompson. it was a danged if you do situation. favre has been around the league so long that he was getting predictible and thus getting intercepted alot. plus he was always trying to force a big play. he kind of got that under control a little in new york  but it came back a bit in minnesota. i do think he was looking for one bowl win so he could finish on top.  i think he thought that was in minnesota. sure there is a rivalry with the vikings  but that is the same as anybody else in the division. you want win your division first.  i dont blame favre for wanting to stick it to the packers. you just wont see him at any alumni games

[PocketThunder]

I wonder if he will retire as a Packer?
