4 fumbles. Watching the game again on the NFL Network. City was in trouble following Katrina. Looks pretty obvious on the rewatch.

quote:

“I would always sit in these meetings,” Favre said in a video from a speaking engagement recently posted on Twitter by Zach Dunn. “If you don’t know what’s going on, the trick is to act like you do. And I’m the starting quarterback, and [coach Mike] Holmgren would be up there and he’d say, ‘All right, look guys,’ he’s writing nickel defenses in, ‘We’re gonna do this, we’re gonna attack this.’ I’d always be sitting there going, ‘I hear this ‘nickel defense’ all the time but I’m not real sure what it is.’ Then he’d throw me for a loop and he’d say, ‘Long yardage situation, dime comes in.’ Dime, what the hell is dime? They would say, ‘Over under front’ and, ‘You got this, 3-4.’ I was afraid to ask, I’m the starter. Ty Detmer was over there. “After about our second year, finally I said, I just got to know, ‘Ty, I got to ask you a question.’ Ty was about as goofy as I was. He says, ‘What’s that?’ I say, ‘What’s the nickel defense?’ He’s just real quiet, he says, ‘You serious?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’m serious.’ He says, ‘Well, they basically take out a linebacker and bring in a DB.’ “I said, ‘That’s it?’ He said, ‘That’s it.’ I said, ‘Who gives a sh-t?’”

He threw the sack record to strahan. I always thought that was a slap in the face of his o-line that had played awesome that day.

I like Favre and think he may be the most fun player to watch I've ever seen. But the man is and was basically a functional retard who just happened to be maybe the most naturally talented athlete the position has ever seen.

He always threw across his body late over the middle. It just didn't work that time.

Wasn’t the only time he had done that and got picked off.

Corey Webster picked him off while with the Giants, IIRC in 1-2 seasons prior, to seemingly end his career at that time.


Him going back to the well was something opposing defenses were on the lookout for, much like they likely did for Rex Grossman too.

And that's why no one will ever come close to breaking his interceptions thrown record.

That wasn’t Favre that blew that game. All the fumbles, a couple by Peterson and I think Hardin fumbled as well. Did you see the pictures of his leg after the game? It’s a wonder he could even walk out on the field. The Saints beat him up pretty good. The head of the officials, Mike Pereira said the refs missed 5 or 6 roughing the passer penalties they should have called.
Yeah, that was not a good decision to make that pass, but he did it his whole career. And he was only in that situation to try and make a play and pick up a few more yards because the sideline caused the delay of game pushing them out of realistic field goal range.
The reason they had to play that game in New Orleans instead of Minnesota was because Peterson fumbled the ball against the Bears, costing them home field advantage. A game in which Favre threw for 300 yards in the second half alone.


I was wrong about the home field, the Saints were going to get it anyway.

The cross field pick was one of the most tragic chokejobs of all time

Just go back and see if Breleigh Favre's 4th-grade volleyball team got an infusion of cash.

That was the only obvious dive.

Because everyone hated Mark Gastineau.

NFC Championship game is Favre being Favre....dude never evolved as a QB...he's fricking what 38 iyears old in that game and he's still doing playground shite and the end of the game when 10 yards gets you a game winner. I think Favre throwing a game gives his dumbassery too much credit.
