Favre’s last pass for the Falcons was an INT.
Favre’s last pass for the Packers was an INT.
Favre’s last pass for the Jets was an INT.

No, bruises are not why Favre throws interceptions. Bad judgment is why Favre throws interceptions.

Wasn’t his first pass as a Falcon an interception as well?

He had 4 passes as a Falcon, 2 interceptions and 2 incomplete passes.

Tough time while a bird.

Did well as a Packer. And sure helped the Vikings this year.

Good guy. If he retires, I wish him well.

Taking chances are what separates a quarterback from a great quarterback and Favre's spectacular history is based on taking chances...........That's who he is and that's why he will go into the Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately there are no stats dissecting career passes that shouldn't have been thrown but were and were completed. It's only the naysayers such as you who ignore what he has done in the face of sure defeat to turn the game into a win for whatever team he was playing for.......

How many NFL quarterbacks never made it to the semi-finals this year?

Favre carried that team despite two fumbles inside the 10 yard line and a total of 6 fumbles altogether.

Favre didn't lose the game, his defense did............over 15 knock downs by the Saints tells me that there is something darn wrong with the offensive line. And Favre got up from every one of them and returned to the huddle.

Your Saints are going to get creamed Sunday.............

Great game Favre. Hope you get better soon. Those injuries look very painful.

GIVE IT A REST ALREADY. Favre is a great quarterback.

He is the only player to win the AP Most Valuable Player three consecutive times (1995–97).[6]

He led the Packers to seven division championships (1995, 1996, 1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2007),

four NFC Championship Games (1995, 1996, 1997 and 2007),

winning two (1996 and 1997), and

According to Wiki, Brett’s very first-ever pass in the NFL was picked off. From Wiki: “ Favre’s first pass in an NFL regular season game resulted in an interception returned for a touchdown. He only attempted four passes in his career at Atlanta, was intercepted twice, and completed none of them.” So it seems oddly appropriate that he ends his career with a pick. Perfect bookended career.

Yep.

Favre can't help hisself from getting too antsy about wanting to make something happen and wanting to be da man. He showed himself to be a pitiful brat with the way he handled leaving Green Bay, and that finally confirmed once and for all that it was egomaniacal immaturity behind all those interceptions. I could care less where he plays, but there are appropriate, considerate and mature ways to transition out of a club and that wasn't it.

Further, I fail to see how being banged up has anything to do with his decision to throw the ball at all, much less to throw a ball that had a 99.9% chance of being intercepted.

If he was injured, as he apparently was, it was all the more reason to play it safe and bring out the FG kicker for a chip shot. HELLO.

And what football player takes pics of his bruises in his kitchen and posts them on the internet with the caption, "Puh-leeze call the WWWAAAAAAAMMMNMMMBulance." Man up, Brat. It's just sickening.

P.S. And, who knows, maybe not just any old "bad judgment." Ever see that wired-up segment with Brat Farve and Holmgren? Wired-up, yeah.

Favre’s last pass for the Jets was an INT.

And his last snap for the Vikes was a...fumble?

That said, the guy played a great game vs. the Saints. He took a beating and almost willed the Vikings into the Super Bowl. It still takes 40 guys and a coaching staff to win a football game. Just ask Fran Tarkenton or Jim Kelly or Dan Marino.
