If Sunday's loss to the Saints was the final game in the illustrious career of Vikings QB Brett Favre, his final pass will go down as an INT that helped doom his team's shot to earn a Super Bowl berth. Favre admitted his error in throwing a pick to Tracy Porter, intended for Sidney Rice, at the Saints' 22 yard line with seven seconds left. "I probably should have ran it, I don't know how far I could have gotten but I was just late to Sidney and it proved costly." Favre said. Source: USA Today
He should have ran it, but coaching shouldn't have let 12 men in the huddle. I'm sure we would have played it safe and ran it if we weren't set back 5 yards. Then again, I would hate for Longwell to get the Gary Anderson treatment.
"He should have ran it" went through my mind before we even knew it was an int. ...but whatever. Awesome season with last week being the climax for me. Glad he came back.
Is this "I should have ran it like the coach called it, but I was going to let the legend and ego grow"?
boy, olly, you and Favre have really divorced. Yeah, he should have run it, maybe he didn't want to take another hit.
i couldn't believe it either. when it looked like he was going to run and then threw across his body, i was like "what the heck are you doing!?!?!?!?"
He'd of run it it looked like a easy 5 plus yards, which at least would have put them in a long field goal range. Throw was totally stupid for a vet to make, but with Farve it didn't surprise me one bit.
Irrelevent to me... My thought was more about how the Vikings imploded long before that INT. Never should have come to relying on a 40 year old QB to run you into FG range. :icon_rolleyes:
