Remember last year when Brett Favre lost it toward the end of the season with the New York Jets? It appears to be happening again this time Favre can't blame a bad arm.Sunday night Favre's Minnesota Vikings got shelled by a not very good but getting better Carolina Panther team 26-7.
Before the Panthers ran off 20 straight points on the Viks, Minnesota head coach Brad Childress wanted to bench Favre. Well that didn't make Favre very happy and a heated discussion ensued.
Here it is straight from the Favre's mouth.

This is what Vikings head coach Brad Childress was quoted by the Associated Press:
“We were just having a good conversation about the game was heading at that point and time,” Childress said. “And what we needed to do to head the other way.”
If we watched the game I don't think I've ever seen a good conversation as heated.
On one hand Childress had to know that Minnesota's offensive line was getting whooped by Carolina's pass rush and Favre can't avoid the rush like he used to, so why not bring in Tarvaris Jackson who is more mobile.
This is what's bugging us in the OSG HQ. Why make the move when you are up 7-6? If it's between Favre and Jackson I'm sticking with Favre. He may be 40 but Favre isn't doing the dumb things he did with the Packers. He's much more conservative.
Then again, Favre looks like he's beginning to wear down. Favre can't avoid the rush and his decision making is being effected. Perhaps Chilly is seeing that and wanted to save the wear and tear for the playoffs.
Is it going to be a December decline in Minnesota?

You can hate on Favre all you want, but a 107 qb rating with 33 touchdowns and 7 interceptions are hard to deny. Favre had the same number of touchdowns as Manning, but Manning has 16 interception ( 9 more than Favre).
