favre really knows how to have fun

You need 2 yards for a 1st down which is pretty much guaranteed so coaches will take a shot downfield on 2nd down and just run it on 3rd down for the easy 1st.

Newb.

Agreed. 2nd and short is almost always a passing situation.

Also, this is no longer fantastical. I was really looking forward to all the bandwagonning Vikings fans disappearing this week. I'm sure they would be back if the Vikes start winning but a break from all the BS would have been nice.

Vikings are starting to pull away. Quinn has not shown an ability to generate much offense in the air. It's gonna take a big play from the defense or special teams to help aid in the comeback.

Favre showed on that drive many of the reason Childress brought him in. The audibles he made helped them out tremendously.

Exactly. That pass to Rice that was called out of bounds should have been challenged as well. You could still see green in between his cleat and the sideline. For somebody that was willing to challenge the color of the sky in the first half, I totally didn't understand the lack of a challenge there.

[Primetime]

The only thing I can think of is not wanting to be left without a challenge in the fourth if it was needed. Everything turned out okay though.

[MrBill]

Yeah, still turned out the same but that 40 yard on the money TD pass would have looked better on the highlights than the 5 yard pass :D

It was a great pass whether it counted or not. Still gets a lot of respect from me.

What happened? Not getting the game here.

[OKCL]

AP just made a crazy 50 yd(?) run...

[OKCL]

The Browns should have just let Lewis run it and get the first down. The Vikings defense was struggling and the Browns should have taken advantage of that. Yes, teams do pass on 2nd and short, but why would you even consider it when you a young, inexperienced QB who has looked terrible for most of the game. It was a key drive and the Browns should have just went with what works, and that was pounding the ball

[Point Blank]

My favorite player got me 37 FF pts.

[MrBill]

I don't think Favre throws more than 20 passes all game. When you have AP going against that Browns defense, why even put the ball in the air? Prediction - Vikings 31, Browns 14.

Favre threw 21 passes and before the junk heave the ball in the air TD by the Browns with a minute left in the game, it was 34-13 and I was feeling all Nostradamus and shit..lol
