He really aims balls.

Interesting fact about Favre - never won a game when trailing by 14 points or more.

He is great at anticipating throws and launches early and that gives the defender time to run under the ball.

He may not be Brees, but I do think he is emerging as a VERY good qb.

    Henry Ellard Could be Rams Next HC
    Mon Sep 22, 2008

    NFL.com's Adam Schefter reports if the St. Louis Rams decide to make an in-season change, many expect that OC Al Saunders and DC Jim Haslett would be the logical interim successors as head coach. But do not forget about Rams assistant Henry Ellard, who has drawn the attention of the organization. Ellard is practically a Rams lifer, a successful player for the organization and now the wide receivers coach, a position he has held since 2001. He might be the leading candidate to take over if the Rams resort to doing what they don't want to this season.

I'm setting the over/under at week 8.

I believe week 6 is the trade deadline so I'll take the under.

I was shocked when he accepted that trade.  It told me he was more about either playing or money than winning another championship because that team stinks.

Favre wanted to come back and play, and the Packers forced him to either go where they wanted, or retire. I'm pretty sure that's how history will mark it down.

His choice was to either let the Packers force him to retire, or take their lousy offer. He'd be criticized no matter which he chose.

He was dumb enough to think the Packers (like a lot of organizations, or like they did with Reggie) would let him go where he wanted.

I still think he's going to end up demanding a trade before the deadline.

Favre?  Maybe...he still isn't coming here...so there really is no point in discussing it.

Status: offline 		I was going to pick the Bills to lose this week,  after they barely survived a Road Raider Circus. But then I saw they were playing the Rams, now if a team is ripe for getting beat it is the Bills,  but I don't think the Rams are  the team that can pull that together, but is hard to win 4 in a row.
