First off this is not a stat I made up. There are several articles stating the same thing.

What technically is a "failed comeback" I don't know.
But I would say 1 Score down with 4:00 or less is a good start.
Compare to Favre all you want but we all know why you are doing it. Anytime something mentions anything negative about Rodgers he is instantly compared to Brett from the same folks telling everyone else to "move on".

I love this part ...
Mason Crosby's 38-yard attempt was blocked, leaving Rodgers 0-8 this season when trailing by less than eight points with less than 5 minutes to play.
Crosby misses the FG and it counts against Rodgers, lol. That tells ya a lot about this author.
Moving forward here ...
You all know why because I just stated why and if anyone thinks differently I hope they poke their eyes out and never come back here again. Yes, I feel that strongly about it.
When I do research on something, I like to share it with others. Why make others do the same research that you did? That just doesn't make sense. This is a discussion board and it would give us something to discuss. IF my favorite QB of all time were to be, Donovman McNabb, then it'd be his numbers I'd be looking up instead of Favre. I'm not sure what is so hard to comprehend about this.
Anyhow, I'll dig this up for Aaron tonight and post the results.
IF someone else wants to do it, by all means, go for it. I'll do it regardless. I'll be looking up the scores at the 4 minute mark and if the Packers were at any point within 8 points of taking the LEAD, (ie, at 2:30 score is 20 - 27 and packers lose, that's a failed comeback attempt) and post the results.
