favre on the field

This was written Tuesday morning, following the Vikings loss. Before and after (or possibly near the end of the game) Klosterman tweeted:


It's perhaps more interesting if the last tweet came while the game was still in doubt. The Vikings had a chance to win, down 2 in the final minutes. And Favre had already thrown 3 touchdown passes. But, as has happened again and again, Favre throws a game-ending interception.

We saw this in the NFC Championship most recently, but you could look at just about any Favre game in the last 5 years and see the same thing.

(OF COURSE IT'S EASY TO SAY NOW, but) the best thing the Vikings could have done was let Favre play the whole game...up until the final two minute warning. Have him fake an injury (his arm was visibly hurt anyways) and say I'm not going to let Favre blow this game for us. If I'm going to blow this game, I want Tarvaris to do it.
