Attention all Packers fans!

I'm a Colt's fan or better yet a Manning fan.

Brett is the all time leader in INTs and his FUMs are out of this world.

 

So, go Colts!

They shoulda lost last week! they got out played for 59:58 but i guess thats why they play 60 min.

That was a fun game to watch. With the exception of Jared Allen (the beast), the Vikings played some pretty soft defense at the end of the game and had 9 unanswered points scored against them.

 

I am pretty impressed with the packers quarterback Arron Rodgers, who had an outstanding passing game.

 

The Vikings Offensive line did a good job, and kept Favre from getting sacked and pounded on tonight.

Manning is my fav player of all time! However you can not take anything from Brett. When you play as long as him you are bound to throw a lot of ints, but check out everything else he is the all time leader in. He is a class act and one of the greatest to play the game. Peyton is right behind him. Brady on the other hand....well granted he is a talented player(an overrated talented player) he doesnt have the same class and will never be in my book one of the greats.

You're right about Brett. Number UNO in TDs, Completions and Yards. Yes, Manning is catching up. I don't think much of Brady. I don't think the half has been told on that one.

But, yeah, Brett is the one awesome dude in my book!

 

The Vikes will get better as the year goes on unless someone gets hurt.

I have to say that seeing Farve in that ugly purple jersey kills me!

 

Im curious to see the reaction when they play at Lambeau.

 

We will get them at home!

Vikings will be all kinds of trouble with favre playing well and learning his players better and better, then you have to drop back and cover the deep ball and guess what! AP gets the ball! The poor rams have to play against that somehow?

 

I agree, I could bad mouth brady all day! Just the other day with asking for a flag and getting it when he was untouched! If Moss wasn't there he never would have the record for single season TD's. He has been surrounded by great players all his career and it makes him look like the star. Better stop here just in case any patriot fans are reading.

It drives me crazy when people bring up Favre's interceptions!!! The majority of his interceptions have been the result of his receivers not being able to hang on to the ball! Imagine what more he could have done if he had receivers like Moss, Rice, Fitz, etc.

In the first four games as a Viking, Favre has only thrown 1 INT, and that was because the ball bounced out of Berrian's hands after a perfect throw.

s expected, the Vikings-Packers game Monday night and the first matchup between Brett Favre and his former Green Bay teammates was of interest to far more than just the locals. On Tuesday, it was announced that the game not only broke the record for ESPN’s Monday Night Football, it shattered it and broke record for a cable audience for any show.

 

Monday’s game was watched by an estimated 21.8 million people. That not only broke the record for ESPN’s football coverage, a mark of 18.6 million set last year when Philadelphia played Dallas, it became the most watched cable television program of all time.

 

It also was announced that the 15.3 rating pulled in by the game broke the record for ESPN’s all-time market share, a mark of 14.4 set by the Vikings-Bears game Dec. 6, 1987, when there were far fewer channels on cable systems to serve as competition. 1987 was ESPN’s first year of broadcasting NFL football.

 

Even more impressive was the local TV numbers, in which KSTP Channel 5 and ESPN combined to draw a 58.3 rating, which was 15 ratings points higher than the Super Bowl. With 1.7 million households assigned to the Twin Cities market by the Nielsen corporation, more than one million of those households were tuned into the game – a mammoth number that may never be touched again unless the Vikings make the Super Bowl. Similar numbers were posted in Milwaukee, where watching Favre play the Packers did a 49.7 rating.

Those are impressive numbers! It is a great rival and one heck of a football player with a great story, who wouldnt want to watch that?
