Favre can do things no other quarterback in the history of the game can do. If not for his frequent mistakes I would say he was the best ever. He certainly is the best of the last decade.

Let's not forget about the circus catch. That throw wouldve been forgotten about already had G. Lewis not tapped his toesies down. That play was more Lewis than Favre. Congrats G. Lew!

I agree, as good of a throw it was, it was even a better catch.
Mikey, How many times did he make catches like that when he was an Eagle? I'm taking under 3.

Under 3? I'd take under 1.

He was, from time to time, able to hold onto a few of Don's not so accurate throws.

How bout that dropped pass in last years NFCCG on a beautifully drawn up play that had him jogging off the line of scrimmage only to blow right by Rod Hood? Dropped a sure thing, but holds onto today's pass. All is well though, as we unloaded him to NE for a 5th round pick, which turned into either S Macho Harris (a starter) or TE Cornelius Ingram (IR'd this year). I'm just not sure which.

Amazing that Favre has somehow morphed into an...underdog? I got a little teary when he led that last drive. i wanted it so bad for him. I spent most of his career criticizing all of his mistakes instead of appreciating the fact that he is part of that special breed. Favre is a true gamer.

I am glad he came back and I hope he leads the vikings deep into the playoffs. Where is sniper?

I will go on record as saying that this year Peyton will put up better numbers minus Marvin then any year prior.

Marvin Harrison is an all time great, BUT, he hurt the Colts too.

Peyton and the offense will be better without. Marvin was like a cancer. Bad news and it got worse towards the end.

They just gotta rope in some of those young ego's.

Be alright, just fine.

Thank you for injecting some sense into this thread. The catch was the amazing part of this play. The throw forced an impossible catch that was made.

Stop your hating for just one second and realize the ball was placed in the only spot where it could be caught and not be defended. The throw and the catch were both exceptional.

It was a good throw. But it took a great catch to make it a TD. That receiver doesn't do an amazing job of getting both feet down and Favre is the idiot who threw the ball out the back of the end zone. Yet all the credit is going to Favre when the receiver made the great play.

How many receivers make that catch? i can name a bunch off the top of my head that are in the league right now.

How many QB's get that throw off let alone put it where it needed to be?

I agree though. The receiver isnt getting enough credit.

Roethlisberger's TD throw to Holmes in last years Super Bowl is LIGHT YEARS better than Favre's latest prayer.

Really? Why? Favre was almost forty yards away. How would Roethlisberger's throw have been more difficult? And how can it be "light years" better? I understand you are trying to use hyperbole but in this case it doesnt seem fitting. If you want to call Favre's play luck, I can see how you could think that. Any way you cut it though it is still a fabulous play.

Ted Ginn absolutely couldnt have made that catch. Or just about any catch really.

True. Ted Ginn would have dropped it. T.O at this point couldnt have gotten open.

There are plenty that are capable of making that catch, how many times out of 100 do they actually make it though? Being capable, and actually doing it are completely different. Maybe 3 times out of 100 Lewis actually makes that catch and keeps both feet in bounds, it just happened that he made the catch at that key moment. In theory, every NFL receiver could make the catch Tyree did in the Super Bowl if you gave them enough opportunities to try it. It doesn't detract from the fact that he did make the catch at the big moment.
