Farve vs. Packers
 

2:40 'til kick off. I hope it's an exciting game. I almost never watch more than a quarter or so of a game, but I have the green light to watch the whole game tonight. I hope the Vikings play well, and I hope the Packers try to kick Farve's arse.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Nuttin' against The Pack, I'm a huge Favre fan. Always have been. Wish he was still in GB, cuz he WAS Green Bay.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I'm no big Farve fan, and haven't been a GB fan since the Lombardi days, yet I still could not watch this. Him in Viking purple, against the Pack? To me it'd be like watching Granny get gang-banged.

Funny you should say that. This ex-Vikings fan is hoping his career ends against GB tonight.

I just hope the class comes through tonight. If that's the case, Rodgers beats Favre.

I wish no ill will to Favre and don't begrudge him the chance to extend his career, but it's his choice to make this a vendetta. Go get him, Pack!

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

GO PACK GO!


Regardless of what favre does, in the end he'll always be remembered as a Packer. No doubt.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I'll be watching it as well. Amazing the game of the year is week 4!

I have no vested interest in either team wining, but I do predict the vikings over the pack, 24-20.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I'm a dolphins fan, so I have no dog in this fight, but I will say this about Favre:

I LOVE how, even at this late stage in his career, he plays with so much enthusiasm and desire to win. It's not just about a payday for him.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Perhaps this will be the year the Vikings win their first Superbowl under Grampa Favray, and win it for 6 years in a row, until Brett needs a walker with tennis balls to come off the sidelines. And then the Ducky and Bunny party, and the chocolate fountains will flow in the streets, with golden lollipops and gumdrop fancy things.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I think you will be hard pressed to find a Q in the NFL that will run 40 yards downfield and hurl himself into a block against one of the better hitting linebackers in the league(Patrick Willis).... This happened last week in the Vikings game against the 49ers. It is the EXACT reason I am happy BF is back in the league and cannot wait for the game this evening.....

I don't care who wins, but hope it lives up to the hype I have for it....

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

It's really a shame that so very many Brett Favre (GB) Fans, have turned against the man who brought them years of exciting football!

Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. Yes, he is a bit older than the other quarterbacks out there at this time, but few others are as skilled and even fewer have a true love of the game. His talent and especially his love of the game make him a winner!

I hope Minnesota (Favre) teaches GB (Rogers) a lesson on what is all about tonight!!!

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

J-Flake has a good point, and I myself will not bash Brett. It's just the thought of him playing in Lambeau as a Viking that's irks me.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I'm more worried about Adrian Peterson... I'm only up 8 points in my fantasy league. I'm more interested in the Packers defense! Go PACKERS!!!!

I guess the whole Farve vs Packers will be a great watch as well.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Always enjoyed the Packers and Farve. I don't wish for anyone to get hurt or any injuries. I just think this will be one of the most interesting football games in a long time.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

No worries...



For now....






Tonights game in in the Humpty Dumpty Dome. ;)

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

GO PACK GO! as the Pack are my "back-up" team (married into them) erm...but I want Adrian Peterson to have a GREAT game so I can seal my victory this week in fantasy!

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Is Farve actually gonna play? I heard he was having second thoughts. :-)

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Some light reading for all of those drinking the Favre Kool Aide.....

Found this link, Ken. I imagine espn.com would have a stream as well.

That link sucks. Survey spam quiz BS.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

We've got a game, now. We sure can't afford to turn it over anymore than we have so far.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

So I'm checking in now because my GF is out of the room.

Good game going, Packers just need to be a little less sloppy and we could take this!

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Fun game so far....

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Added bonus with Brett Favre continuing to play, gratuitous shots of Deanna Favre cheering him on.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Favray had so much time in the pocket a few plays ago I thought he was going to roast marshmallows. I think it is against NFL regs to make smores during the game, isn't it?

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I love this guy's attitude....I just do.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Fauvra looks funny in purple.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Eff this sheet.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

That was an impressive performance. And I thought the hugs and high fives at the end of the game was pretty classy on both sides. Great game.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Stupid decision to go for it on 4th and Goal from the 1 in the 3rd. If they kick it at that point, they could have been going for a tie in the 4th instead of kicking at the end of the game.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

thought Favre would stick it to Thompson tonight and he did. Proved that you don't deal away hall of fame QBs who can still win. Thompson's job is to put the best team on the field to WIN, regardless of personalities. Rodgers would have been fine sitting another year or two and learning, and Thompson made the wrong decision to win games.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Sacked eight times and Rogers still throws for almost 400 yards...the kid is a STUD!!

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I'd like to see what he could do with an offensive line, but that probably isn't happening until Ted Thompson is gone. Never a priority for him. How do you go into a season without a backup for Clifton without having to rearrange the entire line? :confused:

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

This just in: Jared Allen sacked Aaron Rodgers again. :D

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Between this game and the Iowa State Cyclones losing on a blocked extra point, this has been one of the worst football weekends for me in a long time (and I know bad football weekends, I'm a cyclone fan....)

Packers really need some help on the offensive line, and some healthy safteys.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Granted, you can't take anything Brett says at face value, but I don't see this as
some kind of vendetta. Far from it. Brett has a very warm place for GB, always
will. You don't think the JETS wanted him, do you? Minnesota is as good a place as
any. The Saints might be the only other team he would want to play for, and they
didn't want him. If he stays in the general area, he doesn't have to sell all his property
and has a place to go on the weekends. I am not saying it isn't FUN to play against GB,
but it isn't like GB was going to let him be the starter the year he left or this year.
The man wanted to start. Whoever let him start was going to get his services. He is the
Allen Iverson of the NFL. (Memphis inside joke)
A vendetta is something entirely different than this.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

EHhh, the article itself is kind of a mirror image of the hype it is placing at Brett's feet.
He is making GB fans and Brett Favre out to be statistics jimmiers. In fact
the truth is that the NFL keeps it's stats that way and the same is true for Dan Marino
and Ken Stabler and Joe Montana. Unless he wanted Brett to go out and make the field goal, too. There is no manipulation going on there. That's just the way it is. Nor are you saying that there is some kind of trickery afoot. But this is just like the article my mother mailed to me, yes, in an envelope, about how dangerous cigars were and how kids thought they were being cool but they were risking their lives and how Ahnold is a bahd mahn.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I think it's neato how AP had a hair over 50 yards rushing and Brettski had
about a million passing. :) Or rather, the Vikes managed to win without a huge
rushing number. It kind of allowed Brett to WIN the game without people saying
that AP won it for him. If he ever needed to prove he could win a
game passing, it was last night. I didn't see the game, too cheap to have
cable, but after hearing the rushing number I thought either he won it or
his defense did.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I also thought AP would do all the work and Brett would maybe get one TD pass in the game. Packers have done well the past few years containing Peterson

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Which other quarterback did you see this past weekend running down the field throwing blocks???

Like I said earlier in this thread:

"Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. Yes, he is a bit older than the other quarterbacks out there at this time, but few others are as skilled and even fewer have a true love of the game. His talent and especially his love of the game make him a winner!"

GB made a huge mistake on how they handled Brett Favre, but they don't have the Balls to admit it, so they have done everything they could to make him the bad guy!

BTW, I think Rogers played extremely well last night. In time, he will be one of the greats. His problem right now, is that he thinks he already is!!!

Huh? In one of the games last year, he had almost 200 yards against them.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I more meant keeping him out of the end zone...although they have held him to 50 yds in 2 of the 5 games they have played (including scoring no touchdowns on the Pack in 2007)

He has never had a multi-touchdown game against GB, and holding that good of a RB who is in the division to less than 1 TD a game is pretty good I think

I'm sure his day to open up on the Pack will come, though. Probably more sooner than later

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

I'm so stoked for this game tomorrow. I'm a life long Vikings fan living in Wi so life the season has been interesting to say the least. I 100% behind the Vikings but I am hoping for a good game. Not to say I wouldn't take a Vikings blowout victory but I would prefer a good game and Vikings victory.

I initially was not for the Favre experiment but I have to admit he has played well for the Vikings. IMHO Brett had 3-4 incredible years under Holmgren and the rest of his career was really really inconsistent. A significant number of his heroics over the years were digging the Pack out of holes he dug. That said he has played very intelligently and under control this season. My one experience at Lambeau convinced me that Packers fans are generally pretty classy and although I expect some boos I don't expect a lot of real venom.

The wost thing the Packers fans and organization can do is to alienate Favre over his tenure with the Vikings. He almost single handedly made Green Bay relevant again after decades of futility. In a couple of years all will be forgiven and they will retire his number and he will be the star of many a fundraiser etc... as it should be. Just like Montana with the Niners and many other hall of famers who finished their careers on other teams. The last thing you want is protracted animosity with the historical face of your franchise. It has happened a few times and it is ugly and sad.

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Terrible call on the first drive. Good thing I'm no longer a Vikings fan or I'd be pissed. I say terrible because Minnesota's challenge was rejected. Peterson lost a fumble under almost identical circumstances a few weeks ago, so which is it, ref?

Re: Farve vs. Packers
 

Was he the same ref as the other time?

They all look the same to me... :r
