On some level the media wants Joe to win so bad they talk themselves (and guys like newton tom cat into things. Like forgetting career jag QB's revert to form in time, and badly coached and constructed teams who go on runs every now and then eventually revert to form too.
They got this far on a combination of emotion and moxie. They overgame the Gibbs/Snyder cluster**** to an extent. Unfortunately for them, that will likely just lead to an extension of the same.
That said, I guess Holmgren will never ever truly succeed in beating the Favre out of Brett's former backup... And that is why the Seahags will never win him a second ring. He had a better handle on him two years ago, when all his receivers had the dropsies. Now they can catch it if he just doesn't make the really stupid throw only a DB can catch.
