If Favre Were Here Week 8
November 1st, 2008Joe provides his weekly take on what almost-Bucs quarterback Brett Favre would have done had he been with the Bucs and if the Bucs are better off without him.
This one is simple: Had Brett Favre been with the Bucs, the Bucs would have whipped Dallass last week. The biggest problem with the Bucs was that they didn’t throw the ball to the end zone, instead preferring to dink-and-dunk.
There is no such issue with Favre.
Last week Favre threw for two touchdowns, including a beautiful shot to Laveranues Coles where Favre enabled Coles to make a play on a pass the defense couldn’t touch (are you reading this Mr. Carmella?) for the winning score.
Jeff Garcia didn’t sniff the end zone.
With Favre, the Bucs would have won. In the loss to Dallass, the Bucs would have been better off with Favre.
