The scariest and the most fascinating sight in the NFL last weekend was the roof at the Metrodome in Minnesota collapsing under the weight of a lot of snow. Thank God nobody was in the stadium when this happened since it was early in the morning. I can't even imagine what would have happened if this had occurred during the game. This video is a must-see on youtube if you had not seen it yet. Vikings game against the Giants was moved to Detroit on Monday night. This scene was a metaphor for the Vikings and Brett Favre's season. Despite the extra day, Favre could not go ending his impressive streaks of continuous starts at 297. This has been an utterly disastrous season for the ole' gunslinger. Between his 10 TD, 18 interception season, a 5-8 record, 2 losses against the Packers, the sexting scandal, firing of Childress and now the end of the amazing streak, the roof has definitely caved in on Brett Favre as well.
This has been one of those seasons where Favre would have gained more reputation sitting at home instead of playing. Good for him that he gets to deposit his 12 mill plus incentives in the bank and derive some comfort out of it. Of course the Vikings have no replacement for him and Tarvaris Jackson proved that at Detroit against the Giants. Now experts are saying the Vikings should audition Jackson for 3 weeks so they can decide what to do with the QB position next season since Favre should be definitely gone. There is really no point in playing Favre though Leslie Frazier still says he will play again this year if healthy. I think they should just shut Favre down and get this team to turn the page. The Favre era is over after one unbelievably great seasons and one horrible season. Whatever the Favre-haters and Packer fans wanted last year from Favre, they got it all this year and then some!
Speaking of the Packers, Aaron Rodgers suffered a concussion and the Packers shockingly lost at Detroit. This severely hurts their playoff chances given how difficult the rest of their schedule is. They may end up 9-7 and still miss the playoffs. My dream of a sub-500 team from the NFC West making the playoffs is still alive. 13 weeks in, the entire division is sill under 500. The only team in the entire NFL that has clinched the playoff position is the NE Patriots. They went into Chicago and creamed the Bears in inclement weather. It's amazing how good this team plays in bad weather. They may be the only team that does not change their passing game for the snow and handle the weather like it's no big deal. I don't know how the Pats and Brady do it, especially without Randy Moss or any top receiver of that caliber. The best game of the weekend was the Raiders at Jaguars. It's a better league if the Raiders are good and they seem to be almost there. Darren McFadden is an absolute stud and the Raiders almost won a big game on the road after many moons. They are almost there but not yet.
