I hate it for him...

And to think, Minnesota thought he was the guy to get them to the Super Bowl. Ironic. Farve giveth, and Favre taketh away.

Even with a five yard run, it was an improbable field goal. The bigger issue was the 6 fumbles, 3 of which were lost. Favre didn't cost them the game, in fact he's the reason they even had a chance to win it.

His last pass in Greenbay = INT
His last pass this year = INT

Fuck, when Brett Farve makes his entrance into the NFL Hall Of Fame, he'll be intercepted.

Had he got back to the 33 yard line (where they were before the penalty), he would have given Longwell a shot to win it with a 51 yarder... which he is very capable of making (especially in a dome). Longwell was 2/2 at 50+ this year, and 6/6 last year.

I'm not saying he would have made it, but I would have liked his chances.

not to mention bernard berrian was wide open 10 yards to his right just standing by the sideline only to have the perfect view for favre "not costing his team the game with only his150th pointless INT."

P13 didn't notice because he just read the statline.

He wasn't open you idiot, there was a DB that was within 3 yards of him and watching him.

I know you're mentally challenged, but unless you're blind as well, pause it at the .52 mark and you'll notice berrian all by himself standing there waiting with a NO defender running away from him. Stephen Hawking could've completed that pass.

HAHA, nice job of posting a vid taken from an angle that cuts off the NO defender. Here's a better angle:

Like I said, there was a NO defender within 3 yards of Berrian for the entire time Favre had the ball. No way that ball gets completed.

To be fair, it's not all Favre' fault. We left a potential 14 points on the field with the 2 red zone turnovers. But that last pick was classic Favre. Typical Vikings. I hope they get to the Super Bowl before my liver gives out. Damn, what a crappy end to an exciting year.

Well, he got them to overtime of the Conference Championship. I dislike him as much as the next person, but he got them closer than anyone else has in a while.

his angle was perfect...yours was the one that cut the defender out and had no replay

the defender was behind the receiver and he coulda completed it or run for it

The Minnesota Butterfingers.

That INT was an awful decision and vintage Favre, but he had a good game otherwise. Getting up after that high / low hit he took was pretty damn impressive. Not too shabby for an old man. I bet Vikes fans will want him back.

With the alternatives being Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels, I think they'd coax Tarkenton out of retirement.

Makes me feel so good knowing this.
When Fox aired the gb INT, that was even better.
Expose the fugazi on national t.v.

last pass for the Jets was also an INT

right, so let's throw into quadruple coverage and fuck up any chance.

Farve is a tool and for a "legend" he sure makes some shitty throws in high pressure situations. Fuck farve.

That's the problem right there.

Let's ignore the fact that from the moment you first put on pads and play QB you are taught to NEVER throw into coverage, one of the biggest lessons is to NOT throw across your body on the run.

18 years in the NFL, 4 years in college plus his high school years spent in a wishbone where he most certainly was instructed not to throw across his body, and he STILL doesn't get it.

And his ballwashing apologists forgive it because every so often it works out.

Minnesota lost because of poor coaching, plain and simple.

The Favre INT should have never occured if the Vikings could keep their on field personnel in order.

If not for the penalty, my guess is that Longwell lines up for a 49-50 yarder and sends the Vikings to the Super Bowl.

He had room to run for a few extra yards, and a man open on the sidelines. He threw across his body into coverage.

Questionable coaching for sure. But that pic is all on Favre.

If anybody does not blame BF for losing the game, who can you blame?
I will be interested to see if ESPN slurps him up and tried to deflect the blame elsewhere.
Forget about the damn fumbles.
The 18 yr vet had a chance to put his team in a position to win and HE BLEW IT!!!
You expect that throw from the Jets QB, not BF,
I give the man major credit for starting so many consecutive games and getting up off the ground yesterday numerous times.
But the throw, the pic there was just "stupid" and should not be the type of play you expect a veteran like him to make.

Favre and his penchant for the costly pick. Yet, he was an OT away from another SB. I bet he comes back.......
His lone SB win will be easily forgotten while we will remember that his last pass as a Packer, Jet, and Viking was an interception.

now he has plenty of time to appear
in more sears commercials.

He's a shoe in for the Hall of Fame, his real legacy is his toughness. No one can take that away from him. But really, aside from the one SB win, statistically speaking, he just doesn't inspire me much. Just my two cents.
I read a really great article this year about the reality of his "come from behind wins" and how that "stat" has been padded over the years. So, I think Madden and ESPN's constant God treatment to him, combined with his holding teams at pay every summer, along with the picks have made him very unliked by the fanbase.

as of late, more NFL fans have a dislike for BF because
the kid can't make up his mind whether to play or not to play the game.

And this is starting up again. He told ESPN's Ed Werder that it's "highly unlikely" that he'll return next season.
...the flip-flopping will last until just after training camp, when he'll suddenly find THE SPARK again...
