Re: Brett Favre "That old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be...." Do your homework. In the week prior, Brett was the offensive player of the week with a QB rating of 127.1; and in the week before that, he had a more than respectable rating of 85.4. Brett's recent problems have a lot more to do with his supporting cast (e.g., a very young offensive line, horrible cornerbacks, etc.) than any diminishment in his abilities. On Monday night, his receivers dropped a lot of balls that they should have caught, and the first of two interceptions that he threw was, again, primarily the receiver's fault. Quote

The 127.1 rating was against the Lions - currently ranked 26th overall in team defense(30th vs. the pass). You also conviently forgot to mention his rating from the first week 40.9. I watched that game too and for every pass that was dropped(and there weren't that many) he over/under threw one of his receivers. Even worse were his decisions to throw into double coverage. Also, I fail to see why his cornerbacks have anything to do w/ his performance. Last time I checked they weren't on the field when Brett was. His O line is young but they managed to keep the Eagles(leading the NFL in sacks going into the game) From getting to him all night. Look Brett is a lock for the HOF and he's overcome a lot of personal tragedies. But don't let what he's done in the past cloud your judgement about his abilities today. His best years are clearly behind him. Quote

Look Brett is a lock for the HOF and he's overcome a lot of personal tragedies. But don't let what he's done in the past cloud your judgement about his abilities today. His best years are clearly behind him. It is obvious that Brett's best years are behind him. I just think that most of the Packers' struggles over the past 1.25 seasons are due to reasons other than who has been manning the quarterback position. Surely you appreciate that a bad defense (and I think that most would agree that the Packer's horrible cornerbacks comprise the weakest part of a rather young defense) usually puts the offense in a bad position by yielding far too many points. That puts the pressure on the offense to produce; and when your team does not have a very good offensive line or a very good running back, the burden falls disproportionately on the quarterback's shoulders. Against Chicago, Brett was playing just fine until the fourth quarter when, with the Packers in a big hole, he forced matters and threw two interceptions. Things played out similarly the other night against Philadelphia. (BTW, I have watched the Packers regularly over the years, and I saw Donald Driver drop a number of catches that night that he normally pulls in. At least one of these killed a Packers' drive that was threatening to culminate in a score.) I am not sure how much weight to put on the fact that the Packers offensive line allowed no sacks against Philadelphia. The Packer coaches were regularly starting Brett out of the shotgun formation in order to give him more time before the defense collapsed upon him. Now, I will certainly admit that Brett has a very bad habit of forcing things when the game is not going his way. However, most quarterbacks are prone to becoming more aggressive and making more mistakes when their teams are far behind and time is running out. Again, my point is that Brett's supporting cast, not Brett, is the primary reason for the Packers' poor performance since the start of last season. Brett's inconsistent performance is a symptom of the problem rather than the root. It would be interesting to see how Brett would play week after week at this stage in his career if he were placed on a quarterback-poor but otherwise talented team (such as Baltimore before it got McNair). It is not going to happen, though. Quote

Actually, it was a pretty easy week. Three of us missed only one game, and I could have gone undefeated had I not been tempted into going for a Green Bay upset pick. I have a friend at Oppenheimer funds, who called me today to say that he went undefeated, but lost out on Monday night points to another office mate. We won't get too many easy weeks like that. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Posted October 12, 2006 i ain't bullshitting this week i need to get back towards the top Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Always tough to get into the weekend's games when your team has the bye week. I'll likely watch the KC-Pittsburgh game which will be on TV. Other than that, it's a steady diet of Browns and Lions games...YAWN! At least, Cleveland has a bye week again. No reason to head to the sports bars this Sunday. Quote
