Listen to Favre in his own words.....................

management not listening to Favre. 2 defeats and all of a sudden Favre-haters gather here. Blame him but not only him: Rice and Harvin are not there. Chester too. BB was never good. Shank is the only one who showed up.

However, I think Favre feels the most confortable with receivers who can go after a ball. Tall receivers with good ball awareness. This is not what we have right now and it’s not helping Favre at all. He’s still acting like Rice is out there, and while Rice is 6’4" Berrian is only 6’ and Harvin is even shorter than that. They need to alter their play book a bit to take account of Berrian and Harvins strengths. Harvin will get you YAC, Berrian is good in space where he can work his speed up. Berrian has not been good at this lately and that is the biggest issue.

Nothing against you R4F I understand your hero worship, however, Favre is not doing a good job. That first in would have been a great play if he had another 7 yards on the ball. Favre’s completion rating is also terrible. He’s holding the ball a long time in the pocket as well He needs to look at his check downs more quickly. It doesn’t seem like he trusts his team to pick up yards if he fails.

Not sure how he can be helped but i know he needs it. I think a win against a tough Detroit team will do wonders for his confidence. I do not like that he’s pointing the finger at other players though. That does not need to happen in the locker room. Period, ever.

but one will be “Idiotic” Brett’s interceptions, well the first at least, wasn’t just plain out right his fault!

This is all his fault.

Two things. One- I wish he expressed the passion that you do. Second- I am concerned by his reference AGAIN to,and I am paraphrasing now, “being afraid to fail.” He made mention of this at his first presser back on 8/18. This is not the same mindset he entered the 2009 season with, and, I believe, is not conducive to playing winning ball. I would rather hear something like, “I am sick of losing like this…etc., etc.” What say you?

I mean afterall, the Vikings are a TEAM, right? Not one guy can run the whole show and take the kudos for the good times nor the full blame for the bad.

Granted, I am living a couple states away and didn’t get to see the Dolphins game. But, listening to it on Sirius radio gave me a pretty broad perspective on a team that has little chemistry and no big playmakers stepping up. Peterson sounded like a beast during the bulk of the game, but ultimately couldn’t come up with the gamebreaker at the end. Jared Allen, who was Aaron Rodgers’ personal nightmare last year, hasn’t done squat yet. I watched the Taint’s game and remembering Drew Brees is the Madden cover boy this year I kept waiting for Jared Allen to put him through the turf. I don’t think he even touched him. Where has he been? He needs to get him a tape of Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis.

Favre, who should’ve gotten his happy @$$ to camp to train with these guys, is trying really hard to fill in the gaps but is also trying to do too much. With Rice out, Harvin struggling, Camarillo struggling, and Berrian………………um………….being Berrian — there’s not much a QB can do to fix those kinds of problems. It will take Rice coming back, Harvin getting healthy, Camarillo fully adjusting and stepping up, Berrian improving, and possibly the acquisition of Jackson to get this team back to a threatening level in the air. But, we already knew that.

A lot of people love to hate on Favre, and I understand that. He was your biggest rival for years, and to the rest of the NFL universe he’s a media whore and drama queen. But, deep down, he’s just a guy who loves to play the game and doesn’t know when to hang it up. And I truly believe he loves this team. Watch the pants on the ground video from last year and you can just see it. Watch him tackle Percy Harvin after throwing him his first TD. He had a great time with these players last year and wanted to come back to try to win it all one more time.

The team isn’t where it needs to be. We can see that. But, the reasons why are everywhere. Not just with one guy.

Basically it was that the team thinking it was coming back complete took some things for granted, like winning. He said the hurdle now is to realize that winning is not a given no matter who is playing and that they need to get back to the basics of playing football for the entire game.

Even if the Vikings won 44-0, it wouldn’t change turn flatulence into Chanel.

They would say, “Well, it was only Miami, so it doesn’t mean much”. Obviously a W is better than an L, but I doubt it would suddenly have made everyone believers in the Vikings.

Favre was part of the loss, no question. But there were a lot of guys who made key errors at the worst possible time, not just Favre.

I’m still glad we have him in Purple.
