1) Minnesota wouldn't have even made the playoffs with Tavaris or Sage as thier QB. AP has been a non-factor most of the year. Favre pretty much carried the team on his back all year.

2) Favre didnt lose the game with his INT. The Vikings defense and special teams lost the game by allowing the saints to start from their own 40 in OT and drive all the way to the vikings 30 to give the Saints an easy FG.

3) Favres had what: 8-9 INTs compared to almost 40 TDs all season (including playoffs). what more do you want from a QB?

4) Favre didn't lose the game - the vikings offense as a whole lost the game for putting the ball on the ground 6 times. The only reason the Vikings were even in this game despite the turnovers was Favre.

I agree with everything you say, and yet I also see the stat that Favre's last throw with the Packers, Jets, and (so far) the Vikings were INT's. This last pass, he should have and could have pulled it down, or thrown it away. It definitely is a case of a guy wanting to win so bad he forgets what got him in the game this year. To me it's a shame that such a great career gets marred by these plays.
