Brett Favre added another record to his very impressive NFL resume Sunday Night, when he made his 119 th career start at Lambeau Field. Favre also added 3 more interceptions to his resume. Favre owns the NFL record for most touchdowns, but he also owns the record for most interceptions as well. His river boat gambler mentality at quarterback has served him well at times over his career, but it has also backfired on him badly as well, just like it did against the Green Bay Packers (4-3) on Sunday Night. The Vikings (2-4) left this game shaking their heads with more questions than answers about their season so far, after they lost to the Packers in Green Bay, 28-24.

Favre’s poor play came back to haunt him in this game, as Green Bay was able to convert 2 of his interceptions into 2 touchdowns. Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress was not happy talking with reporters after his teams disappointing loss, and took some verbal shots at his quarterback.

“It still goes back to taking care of the football. You can’t throw to the opposition.” Those weren’t the only things Childress had to say about Favre. “You’ve got to play within the confines of the system.” He also added, “Sometimes its okay to punt the football.”

Is it time for Brett Favre to sit on the bench for a game or two? I think it is. He has no excuses any more, because he has Randy Moss and a healthy Percy Harvin to throw to.

Childress also wasn’t happy with the second quarter touchdown that the referees overturned. Harvin caught a touchdown pass from Favre and it looked like he had complete control of it. The Packers challenged the ruling, and the refs overturned the touchdown call, stating that Harvin gained control of the ball when he landed on the ground. Sometimes I think the referees try to play to the home crowd, and I think that’s exactly what they did Sunday Night, when they called back that touchdown. The announcers on the Sunday Night game sounded dumbfounded by the call as well. Chris Collins, one of the commentators of the game said, “If that isn’t a touchdown, I don’t know what is.” I would agree whole-heartedly with that statement.

About the only bright spots that I could see in this game for the Vikings, were the play of Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin and Jarred Allen. Aaron Rodgers hadn’t thrown an interception in the red zone in 173 attempts, until Vikings defensive end Jarred Allen, jumped up at the line of scrimmage when Rodgers threw the ball, and intercepted his pass. Even though Percy Harvin had a touchdown catch called back, he still ran for a score, and did a solid job on returns as well. If there has been one constant bright spot on this Vikings team this season so far, it would have to be Adrian Peterson. Peterson rushed for 131 yards on 28 attempts, with one touchdown. Besides the Allen INT of Rodgers though, the Green Bay Packers offensive line actually held the Vikings defense in check for most of the game.

Aaron Rodgers looked out of sync with his receivers at times, otherwise this game may have gotten out of hand early. Rodgers had several balls thrown behind wide receivers, and other balls that were thrown, where there wasn’t even a Packer wide receiver in sight. Just from watching the game, it appeared that Rodgers and his wide receivers aren’t on the same page. Both of these teams have very difficult road games coming up next week, and both teams will be playing teams in the AFC East. The Minnesota Vikings go on the road to play the New England Patriots (5-1), while the Green Bay Packers travel to New York to take on the Jets (5-1).
