Ugh….. thanks for reminding me about watching that playoff game….
Two things:
1. The league was different and interceptions weren’t considered as detrimental as they are now.
2. We 100% were complaining about all of Brett’s interceptions, but the man won games so it never became a “run him out of town” issue.
He was truly awful that game. But it was also against an all-time great offense, on turf, and we needed to win a shootout. Risks had to be taken.
Can we please stop comparing the NFL of 25 years ago to today?
I remember that game, I was in Mexico City, and after every pick I would think, it can’t get any worse, well it did!
All the picks weren’t even as bad as the first one. There were three that were off the receiver’s hands and deflected into the air for the pick.
This is complete brainrot. We should make a rule banning these videos where the host does nothing but put their face in the middle of the screen and explain someone else’s content. None of what he said is true. Packers fans would never suggest we part ways with Love after one pick, and social media very much existed in fucking 2016. Be better.
Favre was amazing cause sometimes you could watch one drive of a game and know that you were going to see a historically good or bad performance.
Well, I *was* having a good day.
Thanks a lot!
If fairness, he was probably high AF on painkillers. Dude probably also had 150 concussions too. It all balances out.
I remember watching that game as a Rams fan, and being certain we were gonna win the SB. Then Tom Brady had his coming out party…
That game has been seared in my memory
Oh we remember. I remember a joke coming out in the newspaper that “Favre threw his helmet up after the game in frustration and the Rams intercepted that too”
Hey man, why dont you do 4th and 26 next, so we can re-live that nightmare again, ffs. 😒
I remember that so well. My fourth grade teacher, Mr. Gilkey, was a huge packer fan and I remember asking him “do you think we can beat the rams?” And he said “absolutely not”
Goddamn be was right
Oh dear I had truly forgotten about this absolute disaster. Born in ‘93 and I think this is the first time I felt such disappointment in the results of a sports game lol
I thought this post was going to be about sexually harrassing women via disappointing dick pics and tea bagging.
That first pick is killing me
At least the rams lost in the superbowl so….🤷🏽♂️
Not all of the INTs were as bad as the first one. you even alive then?
The issue is that favre had to come out slinging it and making risky throws if the pack had any intention of beating the greatest throw on turf. Favre knew this, and if I recall correctly he said something about not regretting any of the picks because he thought he had to attempt those throws if they had any hope of winning.
Most of the big time quarterbacks of today would be ending their careers early because there were no player safety rules back then. I think they’d rather get dragged on twitter than play through 5 injuries every game
Farve giveth and Farve taketh
i bet ur not as good as favvreh
“If Jordan Love threw an interception like this….”
Jordan Love threw a worse interception. This year. Against the same team. lol
I totally understand why people argue quarterbacking has gotten easier, but I think people also forget some truly atrocious decisions quarterbacks used to make back in the day.
I think this game qualifies as an adverse childhood event for me.
Man I actually had erased that from memory… thanks.
Was my freshman year in college, lived in the dorms… got all hyped to watch it and everyone was clowning me very quickly.
