Vikings QB Brett Favre Unsure Of His Status Vs. Patriots

Brett Favre used both railings as he left the podium late Sunday night in the bowels of Lambeau Field, putting no weight on the troublesome left ankle he tweaked in the third quarter of the Minnesota Vikings' 28-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Favre didn't miss a snap after Packers linebacker Brad Jones pulled him down from behind, contributing to an off-target pass A.J. Hawk intercepted, and received no significant medical attention on the sideline, but the 41-year-old quarterback spent time after the drive squeezing and bending the ankle, and he spoke in uncertain terms after the game about his chances for playing next week at New England. "Who knows?" Favre said. "Really, who knows? I hope I do. It'll be tough to get over this loss, as it's tough to get over any loss. But I've got to find a way to do it. "The reality is, if I can play but not be effective, then it's not worth playing. I hope I use good judgment. We'll see. I'm no spring chicken anymore. I don't heal as quickly. "I know the heart's in the right place though. I know I left it on the field. It's just disappointing it didn't work our way." Favre sat in his locker for an extended period before speaking with reporters, tears in his eyes as teammates stopped by to console him. He finished 16-of-29 passing for 212 yards with a touchdown, three interceptions and a 50.4 passer rating in his first loss to his longtime team. Based at least in part on the way Favre was moving, Vikings coach Brad Childress said he thought about pulling him after the following series, which ended with Favre gift-wrapping an interception Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop returned 32 yards for a touchdown. "I was going to give him that next series," Childress said, "and he took us and moved us down the field" for a 58-yard touchdown drive.

:yawn:

 

:whatever:

 

That's his way of announcing his retirement. He's done.

AMF.

 

Beaten up, loosing and a tainted legacy. What would that be a way for a great player to retire hboy: Well deserved Brett :icon_cool:

 

Going out on an ankle looks a bit more heroic than going out on an interception.....again. I guess.

 

Wow. The streak could actually end. I was hoping it'd reach 300.

 

True story.

 

Fractures in the ankle. maybe he really won't play next week. :icon_eek:

 

dont be fooled
super brett isnt done

 

Is it allowed to wear a walking boot during a game?

 

YES !!! YES!!! my dream came true....

 

im sure he will still play next week. it seems he plays through everything. Im sure he doesnt want his start streak to end

 

Unless that ankle requires amputation.....he'll play.

Don't let him fool you......

 

He plays on Sunday. Anything is better than staying at home with Deanna. Can you imagine what his home life is like?

 

Agreed. Brett is only playing for stats/records now (Unless he sees his only way to finish his vendetta against Thompson is by winning a Superbowl for Minny). Either way, he's playing for all the wrong reasons, which is why I'm hoping he doesn't play next week.

 

I doubt it has anything to do with his vendetta against Thompson. It may have last year, but this year I do truly believe he came back to try to win a Superbowl. He certainly doesn't mind the stats, though.

 

2-4 = FAIL it that was the reason.

 

If his ankle is fractured, it's stupid to even put him in there. With Wilfork bearing down on me, I'd sure like to be able to at least get outta the way.:icon_rolleyes:

 

Let him take the snap, hand the ball off and then sit down. Streak continues
