For a guy that's been playing as long as Favre has he sure made a stupid mistake they teach you not to do in high school.

For some reason, I didn't think that decision was that sinful. It was not good field position, they looked rush and out of sync, and Farve was just trying to make a play to pick up some yards. Probably shouldn't have thrown it, but damn if he was not making mistakes in today's game; it was those fumbles.

I wonder if it will be tumultuous offseason with Brett Farve?

I had a bigger problem with the playcalling leading up to that INT. Were they really going to be content with a longshot 50+ yard FG? I thought they needed another 10 yards or so yet they played it conservative. With his ankle hurting he probably wasn't comfortable running, and even if he scrambled and got 5 yards it still would have been a very long FG attempt.

The playcalling before the INT was awful. They got very conservative, and for some reason went away from running it up the middle, which was working pretty well...except for the fumbles. Still, I feel that Favre's INT will overshadow the poor playcalling right before that (and the bonehead penalty of 12 men in the huddle).

Unfortunately it probably will. That and AP's fumbles too.

The Vikings probably should have won this game fairly easily, they just gave it away. I was surprised at how sloppy they were.
