I’ve to admit, this is receiving tougher and tougher to write. I was really fired up
about final night’s game, I really was. I believed Webb was going to play nicely, after
which when I heard Favre was going to begin, it type of seemed like some divine
intervention. You know the drill–battered hero makes 1 final stand and carries team to
improbable victory. It just seemed already written, you know? 50th Anniversary team
celebration, outside inside the snow, using the superduperstar running back out. Favre,
all alone, carries his team to 1 much more victory. And for the really 1st drive, it was
magic. Toby Gerhart ran with authority, Favre hit Percy Harvin on a rollout pass, then
Harvin took a screen pass towards the home, leaving Bear defenders in his wake. Favre
ran into the finish zone at full speed, celebrating with his team, fans had been
throwing snow from the stands, and Ron Jaworski and Jon Gruden had been carrying out
some critical microphone fellating of Favre. Everything seemed ideal using the globe.
Sadly, the script was only half written at that point. It all unraveled following that,
and also the challenges that the 2010 edition of the Minnesota Vikings have on each
sides of the ball could not be masked by a battered Favre. The Vikings had been exposed,
once more, as a negative football team having a lot additional questions than answers as
we head into the final two games, neither of which the Vikings may be favored in.
