I don't know how many times over the years of watching football teams on the losing end of a blowout still going with a hurry-up offense in the closing minutes. I remember one Monday Night Football game that Madden was doing where the Broncos were doing it and he said, "I don't know what's going on down on the field. What is this? Practice? The game's over. Circle the wagons."
Yeah when it's the backups it's kind of alright but starters? No way. Even the worst teams don't need that kind of practice in a real game situation. They can scheme that in actual practice. Don't risk injuries. Ever.
@@Walczykhe’s a welfare QB, and he himself decided to let people know that years after he retired so I have to assume if he loves being known as the welfare fraud gunslinger of Mississippi then he must’ve made a TON of dumb things while playing QB.
Another thing wrong with Mike Sherman's logic is that, no team has ever recovered FOUR CONSECUTIVE Onside kicks in one single game. The closest is probably the Plano East-John Tyler High School game from 1994, where 3 were done, but John Tyler still won 48-44 despite this.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made videos about the following: 1. How Favre and the Packers scored a last-minute touchdown to beat the Vikings in 1999 on a play that wasn’t called. 2. How Urban Meyer made his own Dumb Decision(TM) WRT a post-touchdown conversion in a blowout last year.
Just curious.....is rhe "CT" a Connecticut reference? Sorry to be nosy, but I'm a Baystate resident, so I may be your friendly neighbor, 'North of the Border'.
I don't know how the blue hell Sherman thought the Packers could still win after trailing by 4 freakin' possessions with less than 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter. If Favre's ironman streak ended there, the blood would've been on Sherman's hands. Sherman dodged a missle, not a bullet. He was acting as if it would've hurt him to put Doug Pedersen in the game.
8:26 Wait, wait, wait a second, explain to me how Germany made it halfway across the globe and got to Pearl Harbor undetected when the war was already going on in Europe?
Here's a similar story. This was the last live football game I ever saw. 2015. Week 15. My beloved Cards are in Philly to play the Eagles on SNF(this game was flexed). Cards were 11-2 and a win would give them the division title. The Eagles are 6-7 and have a slim playoff chance. Fast forward to the 4th quarter. There's less than 2 1/2 minutes left in the game and the Cards are up 40-17. The Eagles ain't coming back. But Arians still has his starters in the game including Tyrann Mathieu. Mathieu intercepts a pass and lands awkwardly blowing out his right knee(he had blown out his left knee 2 seasons prior). There was no reason Mathieu to be in the game at that juncture. He was done for the season and the playoffs. Up to that point he had been the heart and soul of that defense and his absence cost the Cards in the playoffs and a shot at the Super Bowl.
Was that the same year Palmer got hurt and they basically collapsed in December? I vaguely remember that but I'm not a cards fan. And if thats true sorry for bringing up bad memories
The Plano East one actually worked out though. They *did* complete the improbable comeback. Should’ve squibbed instead of kicking deep though. Funny cause I’ve never lived in Plano a day in my life, but I was born there, so the ending hit a little deeper for me.
You articulated this perfectly--Such a great video. Play to win is true...but it's not an "absolute statement" for sure. Sometimes, you need to waive the white flag in football, especially in the regular season. Really well done!
Packers finished the season in 2nd in the NFC Central & the NFC-4 while the Vikings spiraled out to 5-11 and fired Dennis Green. Chicago somehow finished 13-3 and were the NFC-2 as the NFC Central champ. They lost to the Eagles in the divisional round Green Bay beat San Francisco in the Wild Card Then went to St Louis that is best summarized as this Rams offense: 24 Rams defense: 21 Packers: 17
@@brocklanders9259 it’s only a matter of longevity. When you look at Rodgers’ record (led a 15-1 team to get blown out at home by the 9-7 giants, blew a 22-7 lead at home to the Seahawks, got blown out by the same Falcons who went on to...well, 28-3, got blown out by a team led by Jimmy Garoppolo, lost to a team led by Jimmy Garappolo *again* and at home), there’s plenty of wetting the bed to go around. I mean at least Favre made it to the super bowl more than once.
Is this entirely Sherman's fault? Don't you think Favre really wanted to play every down? Knowing his whole career, that was always his desire. Seems he probably pushed pretty hard to play no matter what, even if everyone knew they wouldn't win.

@@DolFan316 Oh wow....OK. I thought maybe Bradshaw overreacted, and Shula pushed the limits but didn't break any rules. But I think at the time, Shula chaired the Competition Committee.

My feeling is Noll didn't react to Shula grabbing the two Steelers off waivers because it wasn't a battle worth fighting. It seems to me Noll and Shula always respected each other, and were thus careful about being sure they were perceived that way.
From 1992-2018; Green Bay had a Mike, a Mike & another Mike as head coaches. 2:32 Still better than 39.6, which is worse than spiking the ball on every single play👍! 12:13 😊😂🤣! Might not even be in the top 20.
Yep. I'm a Wisconsinite and I remember watching this game and shouting expletives at the TV when this happened. Best part is the Packers kept Mike Sherman for another 4 seasons. Haha
Ironic that that same franchise, although coached by a different Mike this time, 13 years later blew a 12 point lead with just over 2 minutes left in the NFC Championship game and almost a decade later, people that were at that game are still wondering how Seattle won it. So I hope Sherman sees that and realizes how asinine it was to think he could pull off a comeback of that magnitude

I wonder just how much of this was Sherman's idea and how much was just Favre being stubborn? As JG9 mentioned, Favre threw a touchdown pass with a concussion while he was in the middle of a streak, so it's not like he wasn't one to throw caution to the wind.
As miserable as that season was (they lost to start the season to the frickin' Chris Weinke led Panthers and would only win 2 more games after this game) at least the Vikings could hang their hat on giving the Packers another smack in the Metrodome.

After Carolina opened up the season with a win, all the Carolina faithful (myself included!) started crowing about Playoffs this, Super Bowl that... ..and we proceeded to lose EVERY game after that!

@@UdoShan I remember being mildly hopeful that after the Vikings beat the Packers that they might have turned a corner and might actually be on an upward trend. Boy was I wrong.
The Korey Stringer death destroyed that team. If Korey Stringer was alive, Doug Chapman could have had a somewhat better season and probably string out 1K yards. They wouldn't have beaten the Bears because Girl-Lacker was a beast, but they would have at least made the playoffs. The Packers would have probably been in decline, forcing Brett Favre to leave the franchise. They draft Carson Palmer, and they become good, but not dominant, due to no Aaron Rodgers.
@@UdoShan I also remember that game, I was 6 and super excited for the season. And then the panthers returned the opening kickoff for a td and I went to go play video games 😂😂😂😂
*Actually* my team came back from 28-0 down to tie the Vikings in '94 on the road. They didn't win, but OJG9 didn't say anything about winning, merely erasing a 28-point deficit, which they did.
Any Vikings fan will know that in 2008 in a game @ Tennesee, Brad Childress also chose to punt in the same situation as the one you referenced for the Giants in 1977: this was likely one of the many reasons that Chilly was never a HC again . . . what an idiot.
Entertaining and informative, as always. Not to throw shade on Brett Favre, because he is inarguably one of the greats and did amass considerable accolades (some of which have been surpassed), but he also benefitted from playing from almost too many great players to name. The talent around him was unreal, and he certainly benefitted greatly from that talent.
No matter the time on the clock, players like Favre, real players, never ever stop until the last whistle. It didn't matter if it was unrealistic to comeback, Favre was a man that never gave up.
Well I ALWAYS THOUGHT Brett Favre was OVERRATED and WORSE than a 39.6. HIM AND the Green Bay Packers COMBINED are WORSE than a 39.6 and are WAY BETTER OFF just SPIKING the football into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!!
Mike Sherman should have never been a head coach in the NFL. Only got the job bc he was a Holmgren assistant. Look at what he did as OC of the Dolphins from 2012-13. Packers management made some horrific decisions after Holmgren went to Seattle too. Hired Mike Sherman over Marty Schottenheimer in 2000 and Hired Mike McCarthy over Sean Payton in 2006.
Favre QBing the Vikings against the Saints, 2008?, tied at 28, 3rd and 6 from NO 37, 1 minute left, rolls right, open field, throws across the grain for a pick, when a field goal would win it. Commentators were speechless, at the game and on ESPN. They were so embarrassed at the blatant fix, they were ashamed to talk. Katrina was the reason, NO needed the money and publicity, they beat Manning and the Colts in Super Bowl. I was DONE with NFL. Thanks Bret
I was 15 years old and I cried. I literally threw my sprite against the wall and went in my room to cry. It was the worst thing I had ever experienced in my life. 4 fumbles. A terrible interception, multiple attempted murders of a 40 year old man and we still lost in ot. Probably the most miserable I’ve ever been after a Viking game. I mean 17 was bad but after the miracle I was more or less fine w it. But after that season with favre. The week 3 game vs sf w the UNREAL pass to Greg Lewis. I was in the seats 3 weeks later in week 6 @pitt when AP ran over William gay and then stepped on this grown mans chest. 2009 really was supposed to be our year. That was the one that broke me… I fuckin hate being a Viking fan. Am I still going to watch every game every Sunday? You bet your sweet ass.
Yeah, this makes absolutely no sense. It makes so little sense, I have nothing more to say. It's just too baffling and mystifying to comment on (I thought Colts/ Buccaneers in 2003 was shocking, this would've been miraculous beyond measure).
This is NOT the dumbest game of Favre's career. The dumbest game of Favre's career would be the game against the NY Giants where he suffered a concussion and MIke Sherman allowed him to immediately go back into the game. Yes, he threw a TD on the next play, but the fact remains that Favre was seriously hurt and Sherman let him back in anyway. His excuse? He did not know that Favre was hurt or that he put himself back in the game. How the hell does the coach not see Favre laid out on the field? How the hell does the coach or any of his staff allow him to go back into the game when they know he has a concussion? The fact he was not fired on the sport was a disgrace. The fact that they promoted him to GM was even worse. There is no way the game you mention can be the dumbest when their is another game where Favre allowed to continue playing despite a concussion.
@@AEMT-ks4so Yes it was. Players were regularly pulled for that. IN fact, he was pulled after the TD throw. The reason Sherman made his excuses was because he got called out on it by fans and media alike. Team doctors did not want him going back in the game and he was allowed to anyway. The fact that Sherman was not paying any attention at all to the condition of his QB show you how bad that was and why it is the dumbest game of Favre's career.
not the first time that happened to a qb. qb's got knocked silly all the time back in the '70'-'80's and returned before concussion protocols came to be. now the coach player has no say in it, the medical staff does.
Hell imagine if Favre had randy moss or a receiver like moss. Hell if Favre would have had a better team later in his career he would have won more titles and I'm a Vikings fan
Favre needed a coach like Holmgren who knew how to get the very best out of the guy. I actually thought he was going to win the super bowl against Denver, and as a Raiders fan I wanted him to beat Denver. I did not want Denver of all the AFC teams to be the AFC team that ended the NFC stranglehold on winning the super bowl since the Raiders were the last AFC team to win the super in the 83 season. For it to take until 97 for the AFC to win again was wild but it hurt me that it was Denver
Im sorry but… piece of advice: Be more succinct and focused. Longer videos aren’t necessarily better. Stay on topic. Brett Favre injuries his elbow? Ok but you don’t expand or explain the details of the injury. So what happened to Favre? 19 min video about a non story with no ending. Literally a video about nothing. You leave the viewer with more questions than answers. You take forever to tell a story without a climax.
The greatest comeback in NFL history happened on January 3rd 1993 when the Buffalo Bills came back from being down 35-3 in the 3rd quarter to win the game by a score of 41-38 🦬💪🦬💪🦬 #BillsMafia
Favre was his own worst enemy. His gunslinger mentality worked in the regular season, when you're facing playoff caliber D's, throwing reckless passes caught up to him
Rodgers does that to himself by signing record breaking contract after contract. Nothing wrong with squeezing as much money as possible but it comes at the cost of an elite supporting cast. There were no complaints about the talent he was surrounded with from 2009-2012.

Coming from a Vikings and Lions fan we beg to differ. He’s lucky he wasn’t in a chair the rest his days
I never knew about this story, but this absolutely does not surprise me that Mike Sherman would do something like that
Germans bombing Pear Harbor?
Mike Sherman isn't known for being a smart coach he makes Mike McCarthy look smart
Yes we should play to win, but risking Brett in a game where.it is obvious that we couldn't win, Sherman was insane to not go with our back up qb!
Entertaining and informative, as always. Not to throw shade on Brett Favre, because he is inarguably one of the greats and did amass considerable accolades (some of which have been surpassed), but he also benefitted from playing from almost too many great players to name. The talent around him was unreal, and he certainly benefitted greatly from that talent.
Like who lmfaoooooooo name exactly 1 guy besides sharpe he played with that he himself didn’t make a star… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
No matter the time on the clock, players like Favre, real players, never ever stop until the last whistle. It didn't matter if it was unrealistic to comeback, Favre was a man that never gave up.
As a packers fan I thought Brett farve was a good quarterback
"I'm sorry... WHAT?!?" happens at 14:39, yall...
Well I ALWAYS THOUGHT Brett Favre was OVERRATED and WORSE than a 39.6. HIM AND the Green Bay Packers COMBINED are WORSE than a 39.6 and are WAY BETTER OFF just SPIKING the football into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!!
He was like Oprah with cars, to db's with picks
Mike Sherman should have never been a head coach in the NFL. Only got the job bc he was a Holmgren assistant. Look at what he did as OC of the Dolphins from 2012-13. Packers management made some horrific decisions after Holmgren went to Seattle too. Hired Mike Sherman over Marty Schottenheimer in 2000 and Hired Mike McCarthy over Sean Payton in 2006.
Then Brett Favre threw 6 interceptions against the Rams in the divisional round and played his worst playoff game ever in his career.
That's when people as a whole finally realized that the legend of Favre was much bigger than the reality.
Great video. You can't get dumber than this.
For a minute there I thought this was going to be a game where the packers came back and won.
@12:12 He did... WHAT?!
It's a rivalry game. You throw out every single piece of sensibility out the window when it comes to a rivalry game.
Uh… no… no you don’t… at least not if you’d like to win… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
Favre's worst game also came against the Vikings, but in the playoffs in January 2005.
Favre QBing the Vikings against the Saints, 2008?, tied at 28, 3rd and 6 from NO 37, 1 minute left, rolls right, open field, throws across the grain for a pick, when a field goal would win it. Commentators were speechless, at the game and on ESPN. They were so embarrassed at the blatant fix, they were ashamed to talk. Katrina was the reason, NO needed the money and publicity, they beat Manning and the Colts in Super Bowl. I was DONE with NFL. Thanks Bret
I was 15 years old and I cried. I literally threw my sprite against the wall and went in my room to cry. It was the worst thing I had ever experienced in my life. 4 fumbles. A terrible interception, multiple attempted murders of a 40 year old man and we still lost in ot. Probably the most miserable I’ve ever been after a Viking game. I mean 17 was bad but after the miracle I was more or less fine w it. But after that season with favre. The week 3 game vs sf w the UNREAL pass to Greg Lewis. I was in the seats 3 weeks later in week 6 @pitt when AP ran over William gay and then stepped on this grown mans chest. 2009 really was supposed to be our year. That was the one that broke me… I fuckin hate being a Viking fan. Am I still going to watch every game every Sunday? You bet your sweet ass.
“when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor” hahahahahaha
Seriously favre, you lose to the vikings. Must be the metrodome curse
Yeah, this makes absolutely no sense. It makes so little sense, I have nothing more to say. It's just too baffling and mystifying to comment on (I thought Colts/ Buccaneers in 2003 was shocking, this would've been miraculous beyond measure).
Those old Vikings uniforms are so great
Why did they let farve throw 6 picks against the Rams in the 2001 playoff game.
Love your vids but have to point out a mistake: JAPAN bombed Pearl Harbor...not Germany.
That's what I thought william
@@Staceyatkinson4496 JG9 was making a reference to John Belushi's line from "Animal House"
I could respect Mike Sherman if he said that Brett didn't want to come out.
Modern football era has turned people soft.
This is NOT the dumbest game of Favre's career. The dumbest game of Favre's career would be the game against the NY Giants where he suffered a concussion and MIke Sherman allowed him to immediately go back into the game. Yes, he threw a TD on the next play, but the fact remains that Favre was seriously hurt and Sherman let him back in anyway. His excuse? He did not know that Favre was hurt or that he put himself back in the game. How the hell does the coach not see Favre laid out on the field? How the hell does the coach or any of his staff allow him to go back into the game when they know he has a concussion? The fact he was not fired on the sport was a disgrace. The fact that they promoted him to GM was even worse.
There is no way the game you mention can be the dumbest when their is another game where Favre allowed to continue playing despite a concussion.
The way concussions are handled now is fairly new. Letting a player play through a concussion even in the early 2000's wasn't irregular
@@AEMT-ks4so Yes it was. Players were regularly pulled for that. IN fact, he was pulled after the TD throw. The reason Sherman made his excuses was because he got called out on it by fans and media alike. Team doctors did not want him going back in the game and he was allowed to anyway. The fact that Sherman was not paying any attention at all to the condition of his QB show you how bad that was and why it is the dumbest game of Favre's career.
not the first time that happened to a qb. qb's got knocked silly all the time back in the '70'-'80's and returned before concussion protocols came to be. now the coach player has no say in it, the medical staff does.
That kept his td streak (a game) going only too lose it against the Eagles (a game I went to)
@@AEMT-ks4so That why Favre's record will never be broken.
When the who bombed where?
It’s an Animal House reference
@Chris Sutherland Pretending to be smart while making themselves look dumb is what millennials do best.
8:28 Japan bombed Pearl Harbor
Sherman wasted favres mid career
Yep and would have more titles than Aaron Rodgers at the moment.
Hell imagine if Favre had randy moss or a receiver like moss. Hell if Favre would have had a better team later in his career he would have won more titles and I'm a Vikings fan
Favre needed a coach like Holmgren who knew how to get the very best out of the guy. I actually thought he was going to win the super bowl against Denver, and as a Raiders fan I wanted him to beat Denver. I did not want Denver of all the AFC teams to be the AFC team that ended the NFC stranglehold on winning the super bowl since the Raiders were the last AFC team to win the super in the 83 season. For it to take until 97 for the AFC to win again was wild but it hurt me that it was Denver
@@kyledamron exactly
Im sorry but… piece of advice: Be more succinct and focused. Longer videos aren’t necessarily better. Stay on topic. Brett Favre injuries his elbow? Ok but you don’t expand or explain the details of the injury. So what happened to Favre? 19 min video about a non story with no ending. Literally a video about nothing. You leave the viewer with more questions than answers. You take forever to tell a story without a climax.
Favre takes that game to overtime if he has infinity stones. No doubt in my mind
Don't forget he has the most interceptions
Herm didn’t mess us up at asu. Ray Anderson did
The Germans didn't bomb Pearl Harbor, my guy.
Forget it, he's rollin'
28 points ÷ 8 = 3 w/r of 4
Yeah, it's really stupid
Can you please do the dumbest decision of why my Broncos kick it to Devin Hester four times that end it in bad results.
The greatest comeback in NFL history happened on January 3rd 1993 when the Buffalo Bills came back from being down 35-3 in the 3rd quarter to win the game by a score of 41-38 🦬💪🦬💪🦬 #BillsMafia
The Packers losing is always a good thing
Mike Sherman was the worst thing to happen to the packers. completely wasted farves prime
Sherman was a terrible coach and a worse gm.
He’d have 600 INT’s
GB seems good at wasting talented qb's in their prime lbvs
Favre was his own worst enemy. His gunslinger mentality worked in the regular season, when you're facing playoff caliber D's, throwing reckless passes caught up to him
At least both have rings even if it's just one.
Rodgers does that to himself by signing record breaking contract after contract. Nothing wrong with squeezing as much money as possible but it comes at the cost of an elite supporting cast.
There were no complaints about the talent he was surrounded with from 2009-2012.
The packers probably came back.
He was better as a Viking.
Favre was always bad in domes.
The Germans didn't bomb pearl harbor the Japanese did. Sorry JG9 don't mean to be picky, your great but you might wanna fix that or add text correcting it
It’s a reference to the movie “Animal House.”
Watch Animal House
@@JCP405 Typical millennials. Never heard of an all-time classic you'd think they'd love since it was an anti-establishment movie, but will get angry at people who don't know who the most popular social media "influcencers" are.
Germans bombed pearl harbor?.......You did that to get comments , didn't you?
That's really all the Packers had then
LIE. that is not the reason even if sherman said that. it was all about the streak. sherman didn't want to pull the iron man qb now at 10 + straight seasons of starts out of any game.
@@matthewdaley746 yep. it took a concussion on the frozen turf vs. bears to finally end that streak. farve was so washed up by then and just clinging to that.
@@matthewdaley746 yep it was outdoors at uminn. the roof practically collapsed the streak and farve's career.
But that does not omatter. YOu don't end the streak by pulling him at the end of the game and he had already pulled Favre in the past. This is a BS reason.
@@chriskay1449 b s. and not on mnf with the national tv crowd watching. this wasn't some meaningless sun. aft. blow out of the lions. and it didn't matter the streak was safe the minute he started the game. it was all about farve's pride and sherman not wanting to pull him out on mnf.
@@stevenbauer4799 Where you are wrong is that Sherman pulled Favre before. Your whole claim is BS on that alone. Favre's NEVER took issue with being pulled in a blowout. Try again..
