Default RE: Go Packers!!!!

Last, you state "So Yeah Just Remember Who Screwed Up The Team in Playoffs"...Once again, your capitalization and lack of grammer make you look like an idiot! The loss lies mainly with the coaching staff. Had they taken the easy 3 points in the first half, the game would have been in the bag. The players must also take some of the blame for poor execution, but to lay it entirely on Favre is moronic!
I would agree with this entirely and go a little further to put all the blame on the decision making and coaching staff. I'm not sure that not kicking the field goal from the goaline was a bad decision. Yes in hindsight it would've proven to be a factor, but at the time going for it on the road in a hostile enviroment if succesful would've been HUGE if they made it.
My biggest problem with that game (2 things actually)

The call on 4th and 1!!!!!!! What message are you sending?? You had a philosophy early on in the game to be aggressive. You HAVE to go for it. They make 1 yard (after running at will all day) and the game is over going to Carolina. Sherman decided to punt and rely on his D. NO good. Like Jimmy Johnson said in the pre-game. You can't play in the playoffs with "scared $" You have to go for it. especially on the road.

4th and 26 with a drop back 3 deep defense and let the seam wide open in the middle of the field without so much as a hand on the receiver off the line to jam him??????? WOW that's insane!!!

Favre is not to blame here. An ill advised pass. ummmmmmmmmmm hell yes. I would expect something like that from quincy carter. But, he had a blitz in his face and the receiver broke off his route and Favre threw where he thouhgt the receiver was going. Miscommunication and anticipation. Pin the game on Favre?? Nope. Ask yourself where you think they would have been on Sunday without Favre at QB the whole season. Probably watching the game on TV.
