The Worst Play In The History of Football

[brushhoggin]

why hasn't anyone mentioned the string of reviewed plays towards the end there? Then that pass interferance was called but there wasn't contact? and the pass wasn't even catchable?! After reviewing less questionable plays than that one, they don't even review it!something tells me they wouldn't have gotten the first down to get into field goal range without that bad call!

Not reviewable.

Favre is one of the all time best quarterbacks.  Whoever says otherwise is smoking some powerful stuff.

Leon Lett has two plays that were worse than Favre's interception.

Farve has a history of making bad decisions in clutch situations at clutch points of clutch games. Sure he is a good QB, however I feel he is over rated. Do I think the vikings could have made it to the NFC championship game with another QB? I sure do. Look at the Jets, or the Patriots 2001 campaign, both with unproven QBs. Trent Dilfer for instance not great QBs. They were not great at the time but they always gave their team a chance to win. Farve gets selfish and wants to do it himself, be the star? I dont know. When the pressure is on in a clutch game rarely does his "gunslinger" ways workout.

Comparing a Linemen and a QB importance on plays isnt even close. Also Lett didnt cost his team as many games in the playoffs as Farve has. His post season record is 13 wins 11 losses, all this while he has thrown 30INTs. Im not the only one with this idea, check out what Sal Paolantonio said here. He has won 1 SB 13years ago.

Good ol' Don Beebe.

He had to do too much last night, which lead to their loss.  The Vikings as a whole unit kept putting Favre in situations to screw up.  If they would have done a better job protecting the ball and their QB, Favre wouldn't have to feel like he had to win it with his arm.

[Jake.]

He's 40 years old, had been knocked down throughout the entire game, and had attempted 45 passes before that interception. The mistake was bound to happen. The Vikings were afraid to give Peterson the ball in key situations after those fumbles, so Brett ended up having to throw the ball too many times.

Vikings had a different quarter back last year. How that work out for them?

Favre carried that team on his back.

Due to the 12 men in the huddle penalty Favre was forced to throw.

If not for that they would have ran the ball.

handing the ball off to RBs doesnt make you a great QB.

Thought you said he was a gunslinger ?

If all he did was hand the ball off how did he get 4,202 yards and 33 TD's ?

TD Int Rate

Brees 34 11 109.6

Favre 33 7 107.2

Manning 33 16 99.9

Brady 28 13 96.2

After comparing him to these scrubs

I guess he does seem overrated :

And he's 40

Hehehe. Apparently Pain is ignoring this year's statistics. Granted, I acknowledge that this year was better than Favre's recent years, but still. As far as I'm concerned, the stats say that this year Favre was not the QB Pain is claiming him to be.

[Sam]

Tin - replay showed his knee had hit the ground before the ball touched the ground so he was OK with the catch.

Very hard hitting game on both sides of the ball.

Super Bowl will be a fun game to watch with footballs flying all over the place and big gainers possible on every snap.

I love the Saints but I really think the Colts will prevail.

The Super Bowl - A Point In Time to Usher In Spring Fishing!  ;D   ;D   ;D

Jets had basically the same team as last year with a rookie QB that made it to the AFC championship game and lost just like the Vikings. Farve was on the Jets last year in 2008.

Interesting debate, but does it really matter? I mean seriously, whatever happened in the playoffs regarding the Vikings, everyone would have blamed Farve anyway. Let's look at the scenarios:

Vikings loose the NFV championship - it's Farve's fault.

Vikings win the NFC championship - it's because of Farve.

Vikings win the Superbowl - it's because of Farve.

Nevermind there was another team playing in the championship. :

I personally have nothing but respect for the guy. But I'm glad he's out of the picture. This is a TEAM sport, not a one-man-band. And I think his presence takes the spotlight away from the other talented athletes on the team.

At least the Saints are more balanced in that respect. I'd much rather see a TEAM win the Superbowl, than a quarterback. Which is why I'm rooting for the Saints to win it all!!

Wooooo! Glenn always knows best! and so does his wife Keri. If you don't believe it check out my post in the My Tournament or Outing section. Thread name- First Trip of the year and I owe a Thank you to Keri May....

X2!!

and yes "favre" was the reason the jets choked but he was playing with a torn bicep then, and he fixed it and had this kind of year....

Not to mention how can u compare the jets this year to last years team??? New RB, Better D, and most importantly NEW COACH!!!.... but yea somehow u can compare the team favre was with, with this yrs jets team.

btw Mangini is a GREAT coach! :

Come on your comparing apples and oranges.

Jets

2007 4-12

2008 9-7 (just missed the playoffs)

2009 9-7 (made playoffs only because Colts rested starters)

TD INT Rating

Mark Sanchez 12 20 63.0

I don't think that Sanchez was the differance maker :-X

Maybe it had something to do with a new coach or.....

Totally revamped defense...O-line...running game.

In no way are the Jets the same team as last year.

Again Favre carried that team on his back as well.

Nice try though 

[NewAngler]

But guys.... Pa!n said its pretty much the same Jets team this year as last years....

New coach, new RB, new O-line, and new KEY defensive players. oh yea, and that Sanchez kid....

Same team guys, same team.
