Intuitive_Edge · 10-25-10, 12:40 AM

judging by his press conference alone, he wants to

Your right it does say return. But now he is 41 and averages 2 interception a game. Now he has tendionitis in his elbow and hops around on one foot. that says retire... If he retires he does it with dignity if he doesnt he is just a piece of sh*t

Memphis Mauler · 10-25-10, 12:52 AM

ridiclous is a nice word for farve

Jesus it is me or does brett farve seem to always throw 2 or 3 gd picks a game that causes you to lose a bet which you should have easliy.. Thanks brett for costing me another wager. I would like to say I got two words for you F.U. but try this just retire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Difference between a great season and a poor season is very small in the NFL. Last year against the Niners Favre connected with a receiver at the end of the game with a throw from around midfield, just like tonight. But last season, the feet were just in, and tonight one foot was not. Little things that you can't control, but that make all the difference.

Childress was an idiot not to challenge that first TD. The refs sucked, but at least call a timeout to have some more time to look at the video. Surely your players can tell you it was not a TD? It wasn't like he was saving the timeout either. He just threw it away at the end of the half. I don't understand this coach at all.

In any case, you can't expect the Vikings to overcome 8 pts that the refs handed to Green Bay. Twice the difference between a TD and a FG; both time in favor of GB. I have never seen such a clean TD taken away as the one the zebras stole from the Vikings tonight.

Scorpion · 10-25-10, 01:21 AM

The interceptions vs Green Bay were not his fault
Its not his fault Randy Moss quits on the plays

Glada Tartan · 10-25-10, 02:00 AM

Dont retire him... love all of Jay Lenos mean jokes on him!

Could not agree more. His arm can still hold up, but not his legs...he's done

DrStale · 10-25-10, 02:22 AM

Was at Lambeau tonight watching an amazing game. He should not retire, he was the Packers best player tonight. Weeeee

mav2112 · 10-25-10, 02:32 AM

You guys are funny........if Harvin drops 1 ft in bounds the guy is a hero...............

Watching all the games this yr I still think the Vikings have as much talent top to bottom as any team in the league. They have had a pretty difficult schedule thru 6 games........Dallas, Miami, at NO, at NYJ, at GB
Miami, no,nyj and gb all comes down to the last drive of the game

I still think they win that division.........

Salamander · 10-25-10, 02:45 AM

Most people spell his last name wrong not his first name, after 145 years playing in the NFL you'd think people would get it right

Your fault for betting on him and not expecting variance.

Dude you can't use the ground to help get possession. That was a trap, and I didn't know what the announcers were talking about. I had GB -2.5 and Vikes +9 on a couple teasers so at that point in the game I was pretty neutral.

jjgold · 10-25-10, 04:50 AM

Favre tries to be the hero all the time
It always is about him that is why he never won a lot
We will never ever see Bret again once he retires, no media/network will go near this guy

THEGREAT30 · 10-25-10, 04:52 AM

Great career, he is just hurting his legacy IMO. Can I have some points?

Daveyboy · 10-25-10, 07:10 AM

I agree, it's time for him to step down now too. But what can the Vikes do, bring in Jackson lol?!?

Hahaha I dont care what the Vikings do whether they keep starting Favre or Jackson. But at this point I think Jackson should get a start whats the worst that can happen he can play as bad as Favre is?...The only person holding that team together right now is Peterson.

Very sharp post. I share many of the same sentiments. The very first post was my exact same thoughts because I remember the catch from last year against San Fran at the end of the game.

Farve is the ole gun slinger. He is a little older now and more beat up with the ankle and arm problems but he still throws the ball with alot of velocity and still thinks he can throw it thru a car wash without getting it wet.

Farve has thrown a many,many,many int. in his career, but if he did not throw so hard he would have thrown more. He could have easily thrown 6 int. last nite if the Packers could catch. I think some of the DB's are surprised when it comes buzzing at there numbers. No lie he still throws the shit out of the ball bad arm or not.

I think Farve if he does suit it up in New England it will be ugly on Sunday. I think he is finished for good now and needs to take some games off and let the back up run the team and try to manage the game better. Problem with Farve is you win it or lose it with him behind the controls and Minny is good enough they don't need a QB to be a hero. Just manage the game and take what the defense gives you. Farve believes he can make all the throws and nobody can. Sometimes you need to just throw it away because it ain't their. Nothing wrong with throwing a check down or simply just punt the football. Minny outplayed G.B. last nite and it was evident they are a better team.

If the back up struggles then let farve come back and throw some more picks but with him struggling and being beat up I think he needs to put that streak in his back pocket and let Jackson QB the team. If Jackson stinks than come back and do your thang.

But yeah, that coach is an idiot as well..

bachngocduong · 10-25-10, 12:10 PM

yeah time to go he suckkkkkk my ............... last night

bradthebloke · 10-25-10, 12:18 PM

his arm injury is all bullshit.

dherd · 10-25-10, 12:45 PM

Agree looks like he is really frustrated and with the season going down the toilet fast i think he has sereious second thoughts.

Well you can tell just by facial expressions and body language that he is having second thoughts that he knows its time to retire...

He didn't, although I suppose it defends on how the definition is interpreted.

If there had been no ground at all, if he had been flying in space, would he have had possession (before he ever came to earth)? Yes.

He also had full possession after he landed. The ground in no way helped him to catch the ball. The ground could have caused the ball to come out, but it did not.

Scorpion · 10-25-10, 02:41 PM

Brett is not stupid
He is 40 years old, he cant play
He just wanted the $20 million, its alot of ******* money
The Vikings and Childress are stupid for offering it to him
case closed

LordVodka · 10-25-10, 02:44 PM

I think the real problem is that he returned with an injury this year. If he gets that fixed he can be as good as he was last year.

Ryangene · 10-25-10, 02:49 PM

2 Fractures in his foot now... Maybe he will send me a text of his ankle to show me how bad it looks today.

stealthyburrito · 10-25-10, 03:06 PM

this season has gone all wrong and it only gets more difficult with their schedule, his injuries, and the bye week past them.

time to ride off into the sunset.

It's like benching your starter is the cure to everything. Favre is still good enough to compete in the league. Frankly, I think most of the team hates the coach.

Zubi · 10-25-10, 04:34 PM

Farve is just adding to his retirement plan. He threw way to many interceptions last night. I'm hoping this guy is gone he loves to throw games. Him and Peyton make a lovely pair.

odtw524 · 10-25-10, 04:37 PM

well now its official he fractured his ankle. Now he can sit and really think about retiring

BobHarvey · 10-25-10, 04:59 PM

If the streak comes to an end this week it will be because Coach "Chilly" ends it.

If the streak comes to an end, Favre has no reason to stick around for the rest of the season.

I believe all of the Favre stuff, on and off the field, comes to a head this week.

itchypickle · 10-25-10, 05:08 PM

The guy is a legend...definite Hall of Fame but when it's time it's time. Watch the video of him after the game..took him 5 minutes to limp off stage. Is Jackson really that bad that you would start a 41 year old guy with a fractured wheel over him?
