Favre-Bowl open thread

The ESPN crew is nearly drowning in a giant pool of slobber as they drool over Brett Favre. I expect the platitudes will continue all night no matter how good or bad the guy plays... but what's new?
Still, as annoying as the over the top man-love for Favre ESPN has, tonight should be a really great game. Packers v Vikings is a great rivalry between two good teams. Add in the drama of Favre and I'm excited to watch this one. Imagine Donovan McNabb winning a superbowl here than leaving years later only to come back as a member of the Cowboys? That would be crazy! So while tonight's game won't be as crazy as when they play in Lambeau, it should be a fun football game to watch.
I rarely ever do an open thread for non-Eagles games, but I think this one is going to be worth chatting about.
And go Packers.

Everytime the announcers/analysts say "BRETT FAVRE"...
you have to take a sip of your beer
(we may have to rotate with food/water due to the potential of "brett favre"’s we could be hearing tonight)
Good Luck

Over/under
How many time will Gruden say “Favre” from kickoff to 0:00 in the 4th? 2500 times?

“Whay?” Ugh, that’s not even a typo either. The “A” is nowhere near the other letters in that word.

“Favre hands off to Peterson, Peterson with a stiff arm , the defender goes down, OHHH, he does a backflip over another defender, OHHH he just ran right through another guy, wait Peterson just grew a thrid leg and is now using it to kick people in the nuts as he runs by them. 15-10-5- TOUCHDOWN!!! What a play by BRETT FAVRE!!! He just loves to play the game!”

it would be worse for the packers fans if farve was on the bears, but the vikings is still really bad
by eaglesinmd on Oct 5, 2009 9:03 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Peterson was awesome on that drive, but Farve was very efficient, too. Hate the guy, but he made the correct throws.

I know this isn’t a popular opinion, but I do actually like brett. He’s passionate, old school and still fun to watch. I’m pullin for the vikes. We don’t play them this year, so let’s hope that they run away with the division and the bears lose a few and (worst case) we can gain control over them by beating them for a wildcard.

What?!?!?!?
Wash your fingers immediately after typing that! You’re shooting for a wildcard?

Not bears, I meant packers…and now that doesn’t make the sense I wanted it to make.

personally
I kinda like the NFC North…i just can see it being a really good division for the next 4-5 years with the QBs and All-Day
by birds'n'raiders on Oct 5, 2009 9:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
good at best
rodgers looks to be great
ap is great, but brett favre is not the answer in a few years, or even next year, & the vikes will be QBless
cutler is overrated, & only has hester to throw to
then u have the lions

I'm rooting for...
…the Packers, because I’m from Wisconsin and hope the Eagles will play them in Lambaeu in the playoffs…but I could probably go to Minneapolis too…

i think the nfc north has the second best rivalries behind the nfc east
by eaglesinmd on Oct 5, 2009 9:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Vikings barely even have a fanbase
And the lions have been bad since barry left.

they are gonna be back
I’m calling it. The Detroit Lions make the playoffs in 3 years or less.

Who knows, its the NFC north
aint what it used to be
It is also one of those win/no one cares or remembers predictions.

Vikings are pretty good. Their safeties can’t cover, but the line gets enough pressure to hide that deficiency. And they hit hard on every play.

ugh...
they commend favre for hangin in there and waiting 7 seconds for a guy to get open. Rodgers takes a sack after 5 seconds and it’s terrible…he needed to toss the ball away. both of them should have thrown the ball away, or both of them should be commended.

This is everyday, every game, any chance they get. Jaworski is by far the worst of them though, I think he legitamatly is more into him then his own wife.

"Favre is the MASTER of the hard count"
So I guess that’s why he couldn’t get anyone to bite? That’s usually the kind of stuff you say after he gets you 5 yards, not after he he throws an incompletion from his own 3.

The Vikings may be as

I want to play the Vikes in the NFC championship in Philly. Favre doesn’t like the cold.

The Packers O-line is the WORST! Same goes for their entires defense. I dont think i have ever seen a QB stay in the pocket for over 7 seconds like on that 25 yard pass to the Vikes THIRD STRING Tight End. Aaron Kampman dropped into coverage instead of doing what he does best which is rushing the passer. He was covering grass on that play abd looked totally lost. That’s what happens when you play a 3-4 with 4-3 personnel. Their DC should be fired! Packers could have won this game if their defense wasn’t so horrendous. AP should give his nickname “All Day” to the Packers front 7 for giving Farve all day to throw the goddamn ball!
Felix is better than Brian. You can call me FIBTB.
