tazinib1 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Watching Brett Favre against the Bengals from 1992. His first comeback victory. Who would have thunk it seeing him play the first half, he'd be a HOF'r and NEVER MISS A FREAKEN GAME!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 it was on last night as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 watching it now - just led the team on a 82 yard drive that needed 40 seconds or so to win the game by one point. Little did they know back in 1992... Boomer Esaison was the CIN QB... bet he thought he was better than Favre back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooty Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Watched last night. Pretty cool watching him run around the field at the end of the game. And the shot of Gruden looking like a high-school kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thunk it seeing him play the first half, he'd be a HOF'r and NEVER MISS A FREAKEN GAME!!! I knew if Ron Wolf gave up a first round pick for him he would be good. That one throw was a thing of beauty and we knew we had something. Once he was asked what if he was driven into the ground by a big D lineman and he said "Maybe it'll knock some sense into me" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROYALWITCHEESE Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 No offense, but I don't really understand watching a game that happened so many years ago with no real significance. So it was his first comeback. Who really cares and what do you really gain by watching it? Especially if you saw it live? Waste of life...

Who really cares and what do you really gain by watching it? Especially if you saw it live? Waste of life... It was the first (nearly) full game ever played by the most productive (and arguably therefor the greatest) QB that ever played and which marked the start of his amazing streak of 254 consecutive starts. It was a storybook beginning to a storybook career. The amazing thing is that the announcers were talking about what a gunslinger Favre was and pretty much were saying exactly what was said every week for the next 16 years. That game was a piece of NFL history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Of course it was. Exactly that: history. What did you gain or learn by re-watching it? I enjoyed it immensely. It made me happy. I learned how young he looked in his first game and how his playing style never really changed. But mostly I found it very entertaining. I even enjoy watching history shows in general. Particularly shows about warfare even though I know who is going to win at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
