I agree with you guys, but let's give Brett Favre a little bit of a break on this. The man isn't having a good day today, it's got to be a hell of a feeling he has right now.
Haters will hate. You have to admit, it has been Favre overload this season on the networks.
As for his decision to try to get a few extra yards to get his team in true FG range. Well' that is his job. Even though his leg was hurt, it looked like he
maybe could have gotten a couple of yards more by running...so a 56 yarder is maybe a 53-54 yarder. Who knows, those windows close quickly. His kicker had hit one from 52 this year. If he throws it out of bounds or incomplete, the result is still almost surely overtime at 56 yards. He was just late throwing over the middle--which is the kiss of death. But again, a pick or an interception are probably one in the same at 56 yards out. Nobody can say if that play cost them anything except a shot at a career-long FG for their kicker.
I'm sure he'd run for it in hindsite.
