who you got this weekend?

I don't particularly like or dislike either Favre or the Vikings, but I do think that all of the talking heads on ESPN have been a little over the top in their criticism of his late INT "costing them the game". Is everyone forgetting the three turnovers by players not name Favre? And how could they let that "12 men in the huddle" penalty happen in a scenario like that (or ever for that matter)? Without that penalty, they probably run instead of pass on that next play, and Favre would never have been in a position to throw a pick. Plus, would the Vikes ever have gotten within even a sniff of the NFC championship game this season, if they had been forced to rely on one of their other QB this year, rather than Favre?

Yeah they could have ran and had Petersen fumble! You can never blame a game on one play. They just didn't take care of the ball and that will cost you almost every time.

It has always bugged me the way that plays (whether they be heroic plays or mistakes) in the final minutes of a game are so magnified by fans and the media, when there are so many other plays during the course of a game that have just as much impact towards determining the outcome. Without all of the earlier turnovers, the Vikings would likely have had a comfortable lead as the game was winding down, and it never would have even come down to that final Favre interception. But I guess it is just so much easier to say "Favre blew it again!!".

actually it is just more fun to say that he threw the game away!!
