week 4: Revenge of the Favre

Yesterday was the highly anticipated game between the Vikings and the Packers with Favre playing against his old team. Everyone knows the story that Favre "retired" and then threw a hissy fit when they didn't want him back a month before the last season began. They would trade him to the Jets and eventually Favre would "retire" again and then comeback signing with the Vikings after the Jets released him in the off season. Now Favre has a chance to stick it to his old team for getting rid of him even though it was mainly his antics that caused the move.

The Result: Favre made the Packers pay for his own faults. The Vikings would win 30-23. Favre threw for 3 TDs and threw no INTs. He threw over %75 in his passing attempts and for 271 yards. Rodgers on the other had 2 TD throws and one INT. Favre had great blocking while Rodgers was blitzed effectively causing his effectiveness to go down. Favre just made his old team feel silly out there. What was impressive was he did it without much run support. In fact neither side had over a 100 yards rushing. I hope Favre enjoyed this win because round 2 may be a lot different when he visits Green Bay.
