Favre would listen to Bears if they called

As a Packers fan, let me say: "HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Comments

I don't know about calling Favre, but they had better call someone.

Hanie (admittedly, with lots of help) snatched defeat from the jaws of victory yesterday. They totaled 3 points off of three trips inside the 10 yard line. I’m still not sure how that happens.

I’ve never seen a QB take a sack instead of throwing it away when they’ve sprinted 90% of the way to the sideline. The fact that he managed to stay in bounds was a nice touch.

Going into the last drive, I told my Chiefs fan friend that Hanie would take three straight sacks and then get picked. I was a whisker away from that happening. It was kind of funny how his Hail Mary fell like 15 yards short and got picked off by an up man.

Even with all of their mistakes across the board, the Bears should have won that game 99 times out of 100. They would have won it with Tyler Palko. And the implications of that fact are frightening.

Why is this here?

What does this have to do with the Cubs or baseball?

At least mark it off topic, because it is WAY off topic.

The words Favre and Bears are in the title

You think OT is necessary?

Well, yeah.

Since this is a Cubs/baseball site.

No.

With Forte now out as well, this season’s over. Why dig up a fossil like Favre, who will make no difference whatever?

His last go-round with the Vikings was sad. No mobility, no accuracy, nothing, really.

Let it go, Brett…

Everything you just said also sums up McNabb...

that’s pretty hilarious.

Kind of a Vikings tradition of late, really.

They try to wring another season out of a QB who’s seen far better days. Just look back over the last few years.

I described this reason, and more, in a comment at WCG on this very subject.

Yes!

ESPN would then have something to talk about other than Tebow.

Thank you for reminding me why I don't watch ESPN any more.

If the Bears are eliminated from the playoffs before the season ends...

…they should sign Favre to play the last game. Just for fun.

For the first half.

For the second half, Rudy Bukich should suit up. Heck, why not? He’s only 81.

And maybe...

Slo-Mo Bob Avellini as backup?

by MN exile on Dec 5, 2011 2:14 PM CST up reply actions

Or Vince Evans.

Isn’t he still playing somewhere?

in this case, just suit up Jim MIller

He should know the play book well enough since he is part of the post game show

Larry Rakestraw!

Yes, the Bears once had a backup QB with that name.

I'm really surprised the Bears haven't called Kurt Warner

Or, maybe they have and he said, “I still have Nam-like flashbacks of my time behind a Martz offensive line. Cutler is 10 years younger than me and is lucky to be alive. No thanks”

Warner

got out of football while he still has some marbles in his head. Good idea. He could probably still play, but then in ten years he wouldn’t even recognize his own kids.

I can and will do both!

This Fanshot is a classic troll post.

If anyone here is also a member of Acme Packing Company, you should know we do not act like this toward Bears fans, either here or at Windy City Gridiron. We’d deserve to be banned for this behavior.

I’m planning to write the “Ask Acme Packing Company” post for Week 16 at WCG, and I am already planning on including a little extra wish for Bears fans given that it will be holiday season at that point.
