Remember when... · PACKERSHOME

So I thought I'd finally post something relevant to what this forum is about and remember some of the great things we Packer fans have gone through with Favre. They don't just have too be game winning drives, big touchdown throws. Anything and everything about Brett that we loved.

I'll start:

In one of the December games last season in 2007 I think it was against the Seahawks, Brett Favre throwing snowballs at Donald Driver. I always got a great chuckle out of that because his snowball throwing motion is exactly the same as his normal football throws.

I'm sure this thread is going to have some great responses... I want to throw one out early that might not even get mentioned.

Did he or didn't he?

In 2001 I think it was, Michael Strahan "sacked" Favre to set the NFL single season record over Gastineau.

Well, it's 2009, (there's my first one) I for one still do not know for sure if Strahan earned that sack, I THINK he did, but I'm not sure.

I know Brett didn't seem too terribly upset about it one way or another, and I think Strahan has been hounded more about that question than he ever hounded any quarterback.

I guess we have to wait for the book from Brett.

I'll play,
Remember way back when, The Pack was 0-3, The majik man goes down, and this kid Favre comes in, I was at my normal place (we call it Packer Central), watching the game with all my Packer friends.

Bretts first completed pass was of course deflected and he caught it, at the time we were all laughing thinking without Magic another season was lost, I vividly remember saying to my friends"you know if this guy ever becomes anything that is going to be a hell of a trivia question, who did Brett Favre complete his first pass to?".

The rest they say is history. I have used that question many times throughout the years on the radio, and until recently it would stump many listeners.

Now the pass has become part of Brett's legacy and most know the answer.

Remember when.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

My favorite Brett moment is the game he played after the passing of his father. He was made of steel that night.

I am a woman and I love football.

And how prohetic you were, buckeyepackfan. It is literally a "trivial pursuit" game question.

Question:

"Who was the first player to catch a pass from Brett Favre?"

Answer:

"Brett Favre"

I always loved how they worded that, and not living in Wisconsin, I had one "gimme" in the box that my competitors might not. :thumbleft:

Good one, Buckeye !

My favorite Favre memory.....

Got to be 2005!

Started in January at Lambeau field.
Favre threw four interceptions, and the Vikings knocked the Packers out of the playoffs with a 31-17 victory.

Then the entire 2005 Packers season. Favre threw 29 interceptions and led the Packers to a 4-12 season.
Ended up with a QB rating of 70.9

Yep, 2005 was an excellent Favre year. :thumbleft:

But that's just me, carry on....... :icon_smile:

One of my favorites was in 2004 against the Giants. He gets taken down hard by the Giants d-tackle, and knocks his head on the ground. Looked like it hurt. He came out of the game, looked he was pretty loopy. Pederson came into the game and did what backup QB's do best... stalled the drive. Then, like a flash, Favre comes running onto the field and gets Pederson outta the huddle. If you blinked, you missed it. He throws a dart to Walker for a TD. A lot of people reminisce about when Favre came into the game with concussion and pulled a TD pass out of his butt... but Favre doesn't, because he can't even remember it. a warrior to the bitter end.

I was at that game and have blocked it out of my memory - LOL!

I remember him running around the field after the TD pass to Freeman in the Superbowl.

packerfanoutwest (6h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (14h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
