Packer fans, particularly anti-Favre fans (after Brett was traded to the Jets) bitched in unison that it was Favre's fault the Packers lost the NFC Championship game against the Giants in 2007 because of his INT in OT. There were clearly many other instances where the Packers, as a team, failed to take charge of that game. But it was Brett's INT, which later led to a Giants' FG to win the game, that lost the game; therefore, it's all Favre's fault. Remember these are the same fans who've been bitching the last two seasons that Favre is a selfish diva. "There's no "I" in "TEAM", they say.
If there's no "I" in "TEAM", why blame just Brett Favre for the loss? Contradiction. More importantly, when Aaron Rodgers fumbled the ball in OT last night against the Arizona Cardinals during the NFC Wildcard playoff game, why are there no anti[Favre fans bashing Rodgers, saying, "Rodgers lost the game"? Everything I've heard or read points to less than 1% of Packer fans blaming Rodgers.
So why is it different for Brett? Same situation...QB makes an error that leads to the other team winning. Same thing. By anti-Favre fans' own logic, why shouldn't the loss yesterday be pinned solely on Rodgers? Hypocrites.
