Favre throws Jets under the bus


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

Old No. 4 (you remember him, don't do?) didn't do the Jets any favors today when he suggested that his legendary right arm was in such bad shape at the end of last season that he should've been benched.

Brett Favre, speaking in his weekly news conference in Minnesota, said the Jets knew during the season that his right biceps tendon was torn. Reading Favre's quotes, it sounds like he wanted to sit down, but that the coaches and front office pushed him into playing.

This is a serious charge by Favre. He never was listed on the injury report by the Jets. (Gee, what a surprise, considering secretive Eric Mangini, who won't even reveal his starting QB in Cleveland, was in charge.) The league has strict rules on injury reports, and commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't like deception. That is a serious injury for a quarterback, and he's basically saying the Jets covered it up.

This topic came up today in Minnesota because reporters were asking Favre about his Iron Man streak of 269 consecutive starts and whether he'd be receptive to sitting if he got banged up.

"Absolutely. I was receptive to (sitting) last year," Favre said. "When we finally did an MRI and found out I had a torn biceps last year, I felt like, with about four or five games left, that even though I was making some pretty good throws and some decent plays, I felt like I was doing the team more harm because I was missing on some throws."

Bullshit, he just started playing like poo in the latter half as usual and was fortunate enough to have an injury come up to blame it on. How do we know he didn't injure it in the last game of the season after he already started his annual late season downward spiral. this guy is a fuging clown shoe, an A-1 me-first gimme gimme assclown. "I would've sat" bullshit Favre, bullshit.

Naturally he HAS to say this right before a Mangini coached team is playing them even though it happened 10+ months ago. He is a self centered sack of sh**.

:yesnod:

You do have to wonder about the timing. He had countless interviews that I saw where the subject of his declining performance was questioned. He would dodge it.

I used to be a big supporter but now he is turning into some kind of media hound. Faveruh suxxors!

He's gonna bring Chilly down too which I will love watching.

Favre is one of the biggest examples in NFL history of the emperor with no clothes.

Will the media and other knob slobbers EVER see through this guy? Nope.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
