...................................with a great team around him.

The difference is the Packers still had the core of a GOOD team in place for the last 4-5 years Favre was there. They just needed to add a couple players which Favre pleaded with Thompson to do to make another run at the Super Bowl. That is the reason Favre could not make his mind up about returning every year. If Ted had made an effort to surround him with talent, Favre would have been eager to return.

Explain to me what is stupid about forcing a team to use a timeout to keep a player in the game. If they are out of time outs they can take the penalty. It is not like players are injured all that often...............................unless they are playing a team running the no huddle.

I think they will both make a great impact on their team. Because the Vikings are a better team, I think Favre will help them more to make the playoffs.

I look forward to Favre playing for the Vikings myself. Everyone that criticizes Favre for waffeling all these years should place the blame where it belongs................on Ted Thompson.

I said from the begining, the player would be out of the game if an injury time out was used. If a team uses one of their assigned timeouts, the player could return to the game.

Unless you need to relieve yourself.

The Vikings have not made the Super Bowl for 33 years. That's right. 33 years. What better argument could there be to make Favre a Viking?

You do know he was INJURED right?

No, I want the team to be charged with the time out. Why is that so hard for you to understand? If a team is out of time outs, they will be charged 15 yards delay of game penalty.

What are you talking about? If a player is seriously injured he should not play in the game again period. You are saying a seriously injured player should be allowed to play again after sitting out only 1 play. If on the other hand a player is not seriously injured but is feigning injury, he also will not be able to play in the game again, thereby removing the ability to cheat. How does this make it a pansy league? In the case where a player has the wind knocked out of him or other minor injury & the team wants to keep him in the game it will cost them a time out as it should.

My opinion it would make the NFL less of a pansy league. A player would have to suck it up & stay on the field (no time out) or hobble off the field before time runs out if they want to continue to play in the game. The other alternative is the team can use a time out for which they will be charged.

Yes I do. If Tom* or even Trent has to have an injury time out to leave the field they should be finished for the day.

I didn't see LW get called for holding on every passing down. Officials allow holding as long as it isn't flagrant in the new NFL.

Let me be the 1st. I will say they will be at least as good as last year from game one on.

There were a couple QB's that came out of the box strong last year, that does not mean every rookie QB can.

They should change the rule so that if a player leaves a game "injured" with the clock stoping due to said injury, that player must sit out the rest of the game.

I have heard the same thing.

The Silver Lining of a dark cloud. Lankster looks like a keeper.

I have been wrong before, & am mature enough to admit it when I am. I hope I prematurely judged Fitz wrongly.

The funny thing is he says how important continuity is when refering to Buffalo, then when talking about the Eagles he mentions all the changes & injuries on their O-line without a thought of continuity.

I call them like I see them.

I will have to say he looked good in the last game. Let's hope he keeps it up.

Let's break this down. In my origional Post #49 which YOU responded to, I said I DO NOT CARE ABOUT HIS ABILITY AS A RECEIVER. He has far more value as a GREAT returner than some people realize.

Did you even read my post that you responded to? I do not care about his receiving skills. He has VALUE as a GREAT punt returner.
