I'm So Tired Of The Brett Favre Lovefest!!

skinsguy · 10-07-2007, 10:02 PM

Yeah. I respect Brett Favre and don't really mind how the media makes over the guy. I mean, he's had to play through some stressful things in his life. He is one of the few non-redskins quarterbacks that I enjoy or have enjoyed watching play. Other QBs have been Joe Montana and John Elway.

But yeah, I agree....I don't like Tony Romo at all. He looks like he's going to be a heck of a QB, but I just don't like him.

i thought for a sec that was a td at the last second... that would have been a hell of a game, but Im glad the nfc is becoming more and more balanced...

No ...Brett come back game here....BAD 2min.drill and clock control.
Here comes the Redskins cheese heads

For all that Favre-love, that pick to Urlacher was vintage Brett. About time we saw some of that, given how good he's been this year.

Talk about playing not to lose! The Pack just shut their offense down and let the Bears (!!!) back in it. And that TD throw by Griese was a bold call, especially for Lovey.

I am not that impressed with the Pack--but if John Madden's long-time man-crush gets his gunslinger action going, they can be pretty good. We may well have a bit of a let-down (psychologically, it will be hard to get as pumped up as after that horid Giants loss). But if GW brings the D and we get some TOs, I think the pack will get pretty worried pretty fast. I don't think anyone quite believes the hype up there--a few tough TOs, after what happened against the bears, and we may be able to get it done.

Hope Moss and ARE are back though. Those CBs are old and slow, and they grab and hold on every friggin play. We can get behind them.

PS Anyone else enjoying watching AA play for ANYONE BUT US? I am. He is weak.

James Jones lost the game for the Packers. Brett was OK but he's not superman. He deserves props but the lovefest is extreme... I thought the Packers' playcalling was pathetic in the 2nd half. If we stuff their crappy running game then we'll be OK. How is Smoot doing? I did not see final injury status on him.

Just a stinger for Smoot. He'll be fine for next week

dmek25 · 10-08-2007, 08:03 AM

to me, its about time someone that is generally considered a good guy, get some press. i really enjoy Favre, and his mentality. its really enjoyable to see him running around like a kid, still enjoying himself on the field. and there's no doubt he can still play at a high level. but i do see the skins going up there and taking care of business

12thMan · 10-08-2007, 08:23 AM

Don't get me wrong here, guys. Favre is a shoe-in Hall of Famer. I just hate it that good, bad, or indifferent, Favre and Manning are shoved down our throats every week - for different reasons mind you.

The guy is a good quarterback, but damn every week we have to hear about every tradgedy of his life. There are tons of guys in the NFL that have lost parents and/or loved ones.

I don't know, I have a lot of respect for him as a player and he seems to be a stand up guy too, but the media just loves it whenever he sneezes.

Hog1 · 10-08-2007, 09:32 AM

What I find most entertaining about the coverage of Favre is the description of his INT throws. The media tends to justify his int's as his competative desire to "make a play". WTF??
I am curious why the other qb's in the league would "love to have that lame ass duck back", and Favre was "using his competative fire to generate another play when none existed"???

Another good point. If it's Favre, he's being gutsy...if it's Pennington, it was ill advised.

I have been invited to go the game next week--hope I can make the sale at home!!!

redsk1 · 10-08-2007, 10:02 AM

Favre is a great QB and very down to earth. There's not too many things someone can dislike about him. With that being said the only thing i don't like is the decision making every offseason to retire or play. It gets pretty old. I can blame the media for most of it though.

Hey but Favre is one of the greatest qb's of all time and is nearing the end so the media is going to be all over him. Wait til Manning retires....Brady retires...same thing.

Soup's Uncle · 10-08-2007, 10:13 AM

I think if we beat the Packers, people will say "Well the Packers were never that good."

Just like how people today are saying, "Well the Lions weren't that good."

Every time the Skins win, this stuff happens and it sucks, but I think that is what will happen.

If Favre picks us apart, it'll be even worse.

First, welcome to the board.

Second, Yes, that is what over-paid so called sports analysts will do. But that is what everyone else, usually fans, does too. Till now, people argue that all the Pats opponents have been flukes and they are not as good as we might think. If you were here last week, you would have seen many many posts of members saying how bad Dallas is because of the teams they faced. That is the beauty of internet and free speech, you can think and say what you want.

Going back to the Favre subject, I hate Madden because he is in LOVE with Favre. The media praises him as the golden boy of the NFL.
