2009 NFL thread

It's over, I guess I can chill out on the Brett Favre hate now. Like Archangel said, you gotta give the props to the guy for getting back up after getting the pissed knocked out of him at almost every snap. Guy's a warrior. Other than that, wow, Vikings choked that game away.

Vikings coach Brad Childress certainly gave that game away. How the hell do you get a 12-man huddle penalty AFTER calling a timeout? And what are you doing calling a play-action bootleg with third and long when a simple delayed handoff, draw or some other run play could have gotten at least that 5 yards back and maybe some extra? Before the penalty it was like a third-and-10 and at least a 50-yard attempt, right on the outer limits of Ryan Longwell's range. All you need was like a decent gain to center the ball and make the field goal attempt easier. Bad coaching man, bad coaching.

You play to win the game, am I right?

Which is why Favre easily could have just run for extra yards to set up what is a makeable field goal for an NFL kicker. But this is Favre, so yeah. When shit doesn't go your way during a game, and you're STILL in a position to win at the end like they were, you should be able to count on your veteran QB not to make a bonehead mistake like that.

And enough with the "he got up from getting hit, he's a warrior" bullshit this is FOOTBALL. If he's too old to be taking those hits, retire. GTFO the field. Favre apologists don't have a leg to stand on.
 
Kurt Warner retires after 12-year NFL career. Anybody who doesn't think Warner is a first-ballot Hall of Famer should be kicked in the junk, and this is coming from a Niners fan.

I could spout off a bunch of numbers and facts, but these come to mind:
- Three Super Bowl appearances, one Super Bowl MVP
- Three of the highest passing performances in Super Bowl history
- Two-time league MVP
- Fastest player to reach 10,000 career passing yards; tied with Dan Marino for fastest to 30,000

In unrelated news, the Niners better be at least 9-7 with a division title next season. No more excuses!
