Personally I hope he plays one more season just to piss off and further torment all his haters.

favre is a football legend.

i couldn't imagine what it's like to have to walk up to the scrimmage line, analyze the defense, make changes and throw a picture perfect pass all while 1500 pounds of pissed off is coming at you to knock your dick in the dirt- AGAIN.. & 80,000 fans are screaming at the top of their lungs.

no, farve isn't an idiot.

do idiots accomplish this much-

Favre is the only quarterback to have led a team to victory over all thirty-two teams in the league since the NFL first expanded to 32 franchises in 2002.[51][116]

Favre is one of four quarterbacks to lead the league in touchdown passes four times. The others are Johnny Unitas, Len Dawson and Steve Young.[117] In addition, Favre owns a number of team records, having printed his name into almost every passing category in the annals of Green Bay Packers history. Most recently, he set the team record for consecutive completions with 20 on November 22, 2007, against the Detroit Lions.[118]
Consecutive starts streak

Since first being named the starter of the Green Bay Packers before playing the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 27, 1992, Brett Favre has never missed a game.[119] He is currently in first place for the most consecutive starts by a quarterback in the NFL and one of only five quarterbacks to have started over 100 consecutive games in NFL history. He failed to finish a game due to injury on only six occasions since taking control of the Packers as quarterback.[120] Besides Favre, there is only one other active streak of 100 or more games among quarterbacks, that of Peyton Manning. Since the beginning of Favre's consecutive start streak, 212 other quarterbacks have started in the NFL,[121][122] 12 of them being back-ups to Favre at one point.[119] Among his former backups are: Don Majkowski, Ty Detmer, Kurt Warner, Mark Brunell, Steve Bono, Doug Pederson, Matt Hasselbeck, Danny Wuerffel, Aaron Brooks, J.T. O'Sullivan, and current Packers starter Aaron Rodgers. Two veteran backups to Favre never started another NFL game: Jim McMahon, and T.J. Rubley. The consecutive starts streak is widely considered one of the most notable streaks in sports, so much so that the Pro Football Hall of Fame has as an exhibit displaying the jersey Favre wore during his record breaking 117th consecutive start as a quarterback, and a section of their website devoted to what the Hall of Fame calls an "Iron Man".[123]

In 2009, Favre surpassed Jim Marshall for starts at any position with his record-breaking 271st start as a quarterback as the Vikings played the Lions.[124][125][126]

wah wah Saints won! quit crying.

We shouldn't have won that game. If the Vikes would have taken better care of the ball they would have won no doubt as they dominated all the other stats except for turnovers and points.

You live and die by the arm of Brett Farve.


Don't know if anyone else noticed but the refs made a BUNCH of bullshit calls against the Saints. Can't wait to go watch the game on TV to see if it looked as bad there as it did from the stands.

You forgot 1 stat: 3


3 times Farve has ended (and lost) a playoff game by throwing an INT. Last night was the 3rd time that has happened in his career.

Just wanted to make sure you didn't leave that one out.

that's not an official "statistic" but i am aware. he holds the record for most interceptions as well, it's in there, so don't forget that one yourself.

regardless, favre is a football legend who holds every significant qb record in the nfl.

idiot? hardly.

The vikings had WAY more BS calls go thier way. That one time Farve was almost sacked and tackled and they called a personal foul for what? If you talk bad about Farve they would threw a flag for a personal foul. Another time Farve threw the ball at the feet of a line men with no receiver around, looked like it may have hit the linemen. No illegal touching, no intentional grounding called. We might have got the benefit of the doubt the last couple plays but the entire game they were calling BS penalties against the Saints or doing no calls against the Vikings.

I don't think he is an idiot. He is a top 3 QB of all time. I am glad we roughed him up a little :winkwink:

a little? hahahah, y'all beat the fuck outta that guy!


it was relentless.

That call was really bad
The ball was NOT catchable at all

damn, I missed 50

That pass was his fault, and could have been avoided totally, but what cost them the game was that too many men in the huddle penalty that put them out of fg range just before that...

Give the old guy a break, they were hitting him hard a shit.

Wouldn't say it cost them the game, a 50 yard FG is not a chip shot especially the way the FG kickers have been doing this year especially in the playoffs.

If not for that penalty, they would have ran the ball on 3rd down, likely got a yard or so, ran the clock down to 5 seconds and called their final time out and tried a 50 yarder.

The penalty took away their chance for a FG by running the ball on 3rd down. I don't think it matter that Farve threw the INT or if it would have been incomplete. Actually if it would have been incomplete there would have been about 14 seconds on the clock instead of 7. They would have been faced with a 4th and 15 from their own 38 yard line. I don't think they would have tried 55 yarder, you miss that you give the Saints the ball back at almost mid field with little time left. But who knows.....

12th man in the huddle lost it for them.

yeah but even a 50 yard attempt at the end is still a chance at the win, they didn't even get that chance because of that dumb week 1 caliber mistake of too many men in the huddle.

It's not a tragedy though, NO is just as deserving to get to the bowl this year really anyway.

They would have never got their if it wasn't for Farve. I am not a fan but he played a hell of a game. tough to go out like that. Interesting fact that his last pass with his other 2 previous teams, GB and NYJ where also INTs.

i am no favre fan but it sucks to see him go out like that.

that kick to win it at the end had another 30 yards on it.

that fool kicked the leather off of that ball.

one of the best kicks i have ever seen.

yeah it was a 40 yarder and it was as high as the tops of the uprights when it went through. I think he would have made it from 60 if he had kicked it the same way.

The Saints kicking team didn't get the credit it deserved. The punts were deep and high and most of the kick offs were touch backs.... that plays a huge part of the game espcially with field position.

:thumbsup NICE STATS :d
