"Favre has been nursing a sore shoulder all season, but it has not been thoroughly tested"

Makes sense, BF has been hit and sacked more times this year than I can remember. The Jets are not that great at pass protection.

I'm sure there are some here who will scoff at that, but kind of shoots a hole in those that are saying he's "washed up", "done", and "doesn't have it anymore".

if it is hurt then would explain a few things..

and at the same time if his shoulder is an excuse, then gives Rodger fans an excuse as well...

Thanks Fred!

I'm sure age has nothing to do with it.

I was wondering about that too. Favre's been sacked 30 times this year (tied for eighth with Rodgers among others). Hopefully, it's nothing more than sore and not an injury because he may not play another year if it is.

Yes. I'm hoping it's nothing more than sore too. Peyton Manning's still good and will threaten BF 's records. I'm sincerely hoping BF plays another season just to pad his records.

Notice another thing - in '07, BF was one of the hardest, if not the toughest QBs in the NFL to bring down. In '08, he's become one of the easiest, if not the easiest to bring down. Is it because of his shoulder and he doesn't want to aggravate it?

You know... maybe this is all a cover up and he's just playing bad because of the... Madden Curse!

Well, on a semi-serious note, if he finishes the season, does that mean the Madden curse is broken? I wonder if those superstitious folks who believe in the curse will try to put a footnote by it and say "well, Favre was technically retired, so the Madden Curse is technically still going strong."

Is it possible this is his escape clause from football? Maybe he is realizing how hard it is to keep going at his age. He has looked tired the last half of the season in 2007 and 2008. This injusy and possible surgery could be a way to get out with an excuse.

What's Aaron Rodgers excuse for looking shaky, confused, and un-unable to win games and make come back wins for the Packers?

Lack of talent?

Oh..that's right.

It's everybody else's fault, even when it's his fault.

This wasn't meant to be a knock on Brett. It was an observation and a hypothetical. Brett has looked tired the last half of both seasons.(observation) It happens with age. After every season the past 5 Brett has hinted about leaving.(observation) He is tired and beat up by the end of the season. This may just be the best reason to hang it up. This way he isn't admitting he can't play because he is getting old but because he is injured.(hypothetical)

Just so we are on the same page.
What's Brett's excuse for looking shaky, confused, and un-unable to win games and make come back wins for the Jets not to mention his poor passer rating and all those interceptions?

Lack of talent?

Oh..that's right.

Mucky Tundra (6m) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (14m) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (15m) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (19m) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (25m) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (26m) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (45m) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (46m) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (47m) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (59m) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : refs just called an OPI,,,bullshit

dhazer (1h) : final score Chefs 24 Eagles 21 Refs 3

Mucky Tundra (4h) : feels like it hurts everyone but starters

Mucky Tundra (4h) : *cut down on snaps that

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, no not at all. Just seems counterproductive to cut down on snaps to help back ups get playing time and get potential money after cuts

Zero2Cool (5h) : So, Jets tell Rodgers they're moving on? QB2 for Packers haha

Zero2Cool (5h) : Hey, I'm not saying it's the great idea. I'm saying, it's what I think will happen.

beast (5h) : You think they give a crap enough about bubble guys to make rules for them?

Mucky Tundra (6h) : So games that will be even *more* sloppy the first two or three weeks of the season?

Zero2Cool (9h) : I think you can figure most starters won't be playing either of the two games at all.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : is 2 preseason games enough for bubble guys to make a mark?

packerfanoutwest (8-Feb) : true.forgot about that

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Unless they reduce preseason from three to two games.

packerfanoutwest (8-Feb) : If Goodell allows an 18 game season, there will be a SB on Valentines Day

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Perfect football player. - Ron Wolf on Sharpe

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Sharpe didn't celebrate TD's ... crazy I didn't realize it back then

Martha Careful (7-Feb) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe

Mucky Tundra (7-Feb) : beast, you didn't miss much with that one. Raiders didn't update their play calls, audibles etc so the Bucs D steamrolled

buckeyepackfan (6-Feb) : That was quick, one thing Jordan said was he doesn't agree with Josh Jacobs, that the Packers need to go get a proven #1 wr

buckeyepackfan (6-Feb) : J-10VE on ESPN NOW!

beast (6-Feb) : I was young and didn't get enough sleep... fell asleep during the Buccaneers/Raiders Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Patriots / Panthers feeling is what I got. didn't watch that one either

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Easier to get a camera on her in the suite where she can't impact the game by being distraction???

TheKanataThrilla (5-Feb) : This is the least excited I have been in a long time for a Super Bowl. Unfortunately they both can't lose.

wpr (5-Feb) : So why don;'t they have her on the sidelines and doing the halftime fandango instead of sitting on her but in a $1,000,000 suite?

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Think more eyes on Super Bowl with Swift fans pulling for her TE boyfriend?

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : She dating the TE of the Chiefs.

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Taylor Swift has millions of fans, yeah?

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : They did. They are going to show the post production Sunday with plethora of ads.

wpr (5-Feb) : I thought KC already won

Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : If you wanna post about the Super Bowl, please, by all means, open a topic. They are free this month! 😁

Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : There doesn't need to be a topic. There's a playoff prediction thread.

packerfanoutwest (4-Feb) : and there no SB contest over in the other Packer forum, either

buckeyepackfan (4-Feb) : #2Officially Retires!

beast (4-Feb) : Probably no SB topic as people are wore out talking about the Chiefs, Refs and Eagles

Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : Packers reportedly have their new LB coach, promoting Sean Duggan to that role

Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : WR Cooper Kupp is being traded.

packerfanoutwest (4-Feb) : why is there no SB Prediction topic?
