This past Sunday, the Packers beat the Bears 37-3.  The drubbing was received well by thousands of Packers fans.  As I opened my email, during the post-game show, I was blown away by the number of listeners who dropped me their thoughts regarding Brett Favre.  Now, let me preface this by saying that after a Packers loss all of the “Favre Kool-Aid Drinkers” come out of the woodwork to point out how wrong McCarthy, Thompson and yours truly were wrong about the ugly off-season divorce.  But this was a win.  This was a rivalry shellacking.  So why were all of the Favre-Aid Drinkers coming out of the woodwork?
Apparently, during FOX’s NFL Pre-Game Show, Terry Bradshaw went off about how the Packers would be 7-2 or 8-1 if Favre were still the Green Bay signal caller.  Bradshaw, in his rant, claims that the Packers have one of the BEST offensive lines in all of the NFL and that McCarthy and Thompson were wrong in running #4 out of town.

CLICK HERE to listen to Bradshaw's rant.

Let me say a few things before I give you MY rant;
First of all, I’ve always thought that the way the divorce went down, the public airing of grievances, was wrong.  I was, and still am, in favor of the team giving their up and comer a chance, a chance that’s paid off so far by the way.

Secondly, if Brett Favre were walking down the street and stopped suddenly, all that you’d see of Bradshaw and ESPN’s Christ Mortensen would be their feet hanging out of Brett’s rear end.  That’s how close they are to kissing his #$s.

“One of the best offensive lines in the NFL”, this is where Bradshaw loses his credibility.  It wasn’t until game 7 last year that this vaunted line started blocking worth a darn.  It took them a year and a half to understand the simplified zone blocking scheme.  It was the addition and emergence of Ryan Grant that started everything clicking.  Did Bradshaw watch the Tennessee game?  Did Bradshaw watch the Packers / Vikings game the week prior?  Did Bradshaw see the defense play via the o’ le’ method of tackling on the final two drives of those games?
Tell me Terry, what games WOULD Brett have won this season?  Would it have been the Tampa game, the Atlanta game, the Dallas Game, the Vikings in the dome?
OK, I’ll give you that Brett might have brought this team back in the Tampa game or the Atlanta game, possibly in the Tennessee game.  Then again, Favre might have thrown another record increasing interception as he has so frequently done in the past.  Dallas ?  Please!  He was awful against Dallas last year.  It was Rodgers that brought the Packers back to the threshold of victory in that game last year.  What makes you think that he suddenly “has their number” this year?

Bradshaw vented about how effective Favre was last season and what a great coaching job McCarthy did with the entire offense.  Bradshaw proclaimed that the Packers were only one game away from going to the Super Bowl.
Terry, do you remember who threw the INT that cost the Packers the Super Bowl?  Of course it was Plaxico Burress that had a tremendous game via Al Harris but let us not forget about the lack of a pass rush which allowed Manning to sit in the pocket and loft pass after pass to his primary receiver.
Brett, had Tom Brady not had such a great season, would have won his 4^th MVP Award and rightfully so.  He was tremendous last year.  Everything clicked for the Packers, injuries were at a minimum, fumbles and INTs bounced their way, special teams finally emerged, players played to their maximum, everything fell in to place for this team.  For Bradshaw to make a statement that in no, way, shape or form could ever substantiated clearly shows his bias for Brett.
The former Steelers QB pandered shamelessly for the fans and Brett and didn’t deliver the knowledgeable insight that you’d expect from a “analyst”.  Bradshaw has clearly taken a step back in credibility.
One more thing Terry, you’ve been singing the praises of Aaron Rodgers, does that make all of your prior statements about the Packers current QB inaccurate?
Puhhhhhllllleeeaaaassseeee!
