GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brett Favre used both railings as he left the podium late Sunday night in the bowels of Lambeau Field, putting no weight on the troublesome left ankle he tweaked in the third quarter of the Minnesota Vikings' 28-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Favre didn't miss a snap after Packers linebacker Brad Jones pulled him down from behind, contributing to an off-target pass A.J. Hawk intercepted, and received no significant medical attention on the sideline.

But the 41-year-old quarterback spent time after the drive squeezing and bending the ankle, and he spoke in uncertain terms after the game about his chances for playing next week at New England.

"Who knows?" Favre said. "Really, who knows? I hope I do. It'll be tough to get over this loss, as it's tough to get over any loss. But I've got to find a way to do it.

"The reality is, if I can play but not be effective, then it's not worth playing. I hope I use good judgment. We'll see. I'm no spring chicken anymore. I don't heal as quickly.

"I know the heart's in the right place though. I know I left it on the field. It's just disappointing it didn't work our way."

Favre sat in his locker for an extended period before speaking with reporters, tears in his eyes as teammates stopped by to console him. He finished 16-of-29 passing for 212 yards with a touchdown, three interceptions and a 50.4 passer rating in his first loss to his longtime team.

Based at least in part on the way Favre was moving, Vikings coach Brad Childress said he thought about pulling him after the following series, which ended with Favre gift-wrapping an interception Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop returned 32 yards for a touchdown.

"I was going to give him that next series," Childress said, "and he took us and moved us down the field" for a 58-yard touchdown drive.

Childress was particularly critical of Favre's decision on the throw Bishop intercepted. Childress and Favre both said Percy Harvin was wide open on the other side.

"It still goes back to taking care of the football," Childress said. "You can't throw it to them. You've got to play within the confines of our system. Sometimes, it's OK to punt the football, and you can't give seven points going the other way. Not in a game like this. Not with a high-powered team."



I'm still not sure how I feel about him being booed as he's leaving the field. I felt like that was his finale and we could have at least kept quiet instead of booing him. I'm cool with booing him before and during the game, just at the end there with it being his last game at Lambeau Field, I dunno.

Zero, I'm with you, I thought it was set up to be one of those great sports moments. Old man, in defeat, gets a polite ovation from the crowd. Oh well, he'll be welcomed back with open arms 5 years from when he goes into the HOF and they retire his number. But it would have been a cool momment, no doubt.

About the injury stuff, this is something I dislike about Favre. He is going to play, just say it. I guarantee it. 100%, Favre will be out there playing NE. Is he hurt? Yeah probably, he's 41 and he just had surgery on that exact ankle but he's going to play that streak means the world to him.

wah wah wah, poor baby. The $20 mil/year qb has a boo-boo on his ankle, and because he can't keep it in his pants and jaded an organization that coddled him for years, he had his wrangler adds pulled and was booed leaving the field.

This is all part of his "aww schucks, media come worship me, and beg me to return" act. Is he hurting? Sure, but all this gimpy 'whoa is me' crying in the locker room BS has lost it's effect on me over the last 5 years.

Brett's supposed to be a leader and a leader should never say things like 'ill use good judgment' about playing the following week. A leader says "im going to be out there with my guys, my team and we're gonna give it all we have. We came up short today, we'll work harder and better and it'll show next week!"

I hope my post didn't come off as an attack against you, zero, just my thoughts about the general situation.

I agree with what you say. He usually catches himself to contort his comments in some sort of a PC manner, but so much of what he says is based on the assumption that what's convenient for Burt 🙂 is what's best for the team. "I'm a little achy, wah wah, so I guess I'll see"

Take the tampon out, show up to training camp, shut up, and play the damn game!
