Look, Brett Favre is a charismatic football player and that was a great play in the pocket to elude the pass rush and buy some time and launch a laser of a throw toward the back of the end zone.
But poor Greg Lewis made the better play. That catch was friggin' absurd. The quarterback play on that touchdown was terrific, but the wide receiver play was even better. And that will get lost in all the Brett Favre love.
Just wanted to note that:
Greg Lewis made a hell of a catch, even if will go down in history as a footnote to the Great and Powerful Favre.
Um ... the catch was the thing

Um ... the catch was the thingYep, same as when Gerard Phelan caught Doug Fluties prayer. Lewis not only made a heck of a catch but also made an acrobatic move to get both feet down in the endzone. Had it been someone like Seneca Wallace throwing that same pass to TJ Houshmanzadeh, the story would be about Houshmanzadeh. But, after all, Favre does walk on water.

I agree with GD on this one. That pass was a prayer we've seen 100 times. If it weren't for the WR, that pass goes out of the endzone. (See? I've already forgotten his name).  |

Um ... the catch was the thingThe catch and the throw made for an amazing play. If this was just another QB I would have to say it was luck more than skill. But this throw was a 50 yard laser from the hands of a QB that had to scramble in the pocket under heavy pressure and barely missed being sacked when he released the throw. The QB was Brett Favre...need I say more!

Um ... the catch was the thingcan someone please explain to me how CBS lets doyle write these ridiculous articles, how this man has a job because thank god he doesn't work anymore in cincinnati on the morning 1530 homer radio show because he was horrible there as well, there is only a small handful of quarterbacks that could have thrown that ball on a frozen rope over 40 yards, it was a hell of a catch but thankfully it landed in a veteran wr in lewis, over all the play was great and doyle is just a ASS

Um ... the catch was the thingFavre did a great job taking off the pressure and looking down the field for a chance. You can't take anything from that. Greg did a wonderful catch, and yes, he is recognized for that. Favre gave the Vikings a chance for a win, and Lewis made it a fact.

Um ... the catch was the thingAlthough it's obviously impossible for you to do, if you leave EVERYTHING ELSE BUT THE PLAY out of it and evaluate THE PLAY by itself: |

Um ... the catch was the thingum.. yeah, Greg.. Favre said as much in the post game interview.. He said loosely the pass was nothing special, but the catch was. "Poor" Greg Lewis did have a very very nice ball thrown to him though, didnt he?
As for going down in history.. anything remotely intelligent you may ever utter will go down as lost in the storm of sh1t-stirring non-sense you seem to be so famous for. Why cant you give this guy credit for what he does? He has enough of a load to carry with helping the Vikings play to their potential.. You guys are the ones who keep promoting Favre lore. |

Um ... the catch was the thingDoyle is an IDIOT! He is not man enought to say "I was wrong, Brett can still play." I am at the point where I am giving up on CBS Sports and moving to FOX Sports. If enough will follow maybe they will FIRE Doyle.

Um ... the catch was the thingI just wish Doyel would admit he was wrong and move on. Brett is better, deserved the starting job, and it is obvious the Vikings would have lost without Favre.
