"The one thing that Mangini did do which was dumb"

Really, there wasn't much downside to Favre's throw.

There is no downside of the throw, but I don't think it was a good throw. I don't blame Mangini for making the call or Favre for just hucking it up there. But don't know if Favre deserves credit for a great play though. He was lucky.
