Something that occurred to me this morning is I wonder if Favre's performance this year will spark a debate about the necessity of training camp, at least for veterans. If he can sign on in August, have a great season, and lead a team to the NFC Championship, what could other players do without the grind of offseason training? It wouldn't surprise me to see vested veterans attempt to negotiate clauses in their contracts that reduce their offseason obligations. Something to watch for.

The way Favre played this year proved to me that this was all premeditated. He never planned to retire, I'm sure the plan to play for the Vikings was struck right after the season ended (maybe before - they've tampered before). There is no way Favre wasn't working out in the offseason and studying the playbook - I don't care how good of an athelete you are or how much of a veteran he is. I just don't believe that a 40 year old man can do minimal off season conditioning and play the way he did this season. The way I see it, Brett has been trying to figure out a way to get to the Vikings since Mike and Ted took over the Packers and he couldn't run the show the way he did with Sherman. I picture him and Deanna having strategy sessions a la Seinfeld and Costanza in the "Roommate Switch".

Sad article for those that care about Favre's last game.

"Yet in other ways it was not routine at all. Vikings' defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier sat down next to Favre and hugged him, speaking into Favre's left ear."

Frazier: "Brett......I just wanted to say....
Favre: "Huh?"

ok what i don't understand is how people are saying Favre lost this game. I guess people just ignore the fact that they were out of fg range. The head coach said it so he must have been told Longwell's range. Favre had a very bad ankle so no way in hell he is going to run.

i heard Jim Johnson and Deon Sanders both say the same thing, they were out of fg range so he had to try something and he was just late with it. Granted the Saints got handed a few gifts in OT from the refs but AP and the other putting the ball on the turf cost them the game.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I agree. Minnesota couldn't hang onto the football. That's why they loss. Favre had his bad moments, but he's also the reason why they got this far. The defense too. The Vikings' defense was dominate for the most part. Their offense put them in a bad spot a lot.

Your right dhazer to a point, this happens when one is given credit for sucess, that one is also the goat when expectations are not met. And this goat was not an isolated incident. The only thing that I saw that was different from previos chokes is Brent didn't smile after throwing the up jump ball. I guess it's not as cool as it used to be to him.

They were on the 38 yard line at the time of the interception. 55 yard FG for Longwell. It's a reach for him to make that distance, but I'm sure it'd been straight on.

I still say, that should have never been a pass. You tell Peterson to cover the ball with both hands, lower your head and run hard straight up the gut to whichever hash Longwell prefers.

Then you let the clock run down, take a time out.

Send Longwell out there to attempt the game winner and I bet he makes it even if they only get one yard.

Like the Packers did in 08 at Minnesota but Crosby missed it and DH and a few others blamed the loss on Rodgers?

Ugh, I was at that game... The Vikings fans in attendance were as classy as always, and so were the staff, who started blaring "Bang the Drum All Day" over the PA the moment that the ball whizzed outside the upright.

beast (12h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (13h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (13h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (13h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (13h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (14h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (14h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (14h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (14h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (14h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (14h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (14h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (15h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (15h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (19h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
