ESPN had an interview with him & the subject of the 3 straight lines plunges came up & BF was asked do you think if you were allowed to throw for it you would have scored. BF say certainly we would have had a TD. For all those who did not hear this around 7.15PM EDT last nite no need to worry since ESPN said the entire interview will be aired on the ESPN pre game show on Sunday morning
I guess if you ask the guy the same question 40,000 times he eventually tells you what he thinks? I would have to listen to the interview to believe it. He has been asked this question a ton of times this week all with the "I believe in the play calling" answer.
I didn't hear the interview, but I think if you ask any QB if he could score a passing TD in that situation, he would say of course. Confidence is a big part of the position....
What the hell do you want him to say there? "No, it would have gone right into Ellis Hobbes' hands, even if I was throwing to the opposite side of the field (from him), and most likely run back for a TD while my vain attempts to tackle him ended only in me taking out anyone with speed who could have caught him down the field."

Well if you want to hear it as that was only one question they aired last nite listen in between 11AM & PM EDT Sunday
I never saw the interview so it might depend on the context in which he said it, but obviously a quarterback is gonna think they would have gotten a td if they had the chance to throw it from the 3yd line. I think this could be a case where people are stirring shit up for the sake of stirring shit up.
omfg wow.......dude. wow that video.........dunno what to say. on a serious note, didnt hear the interview but its brett favre, of course hes gonna say he can score and we all know he wanted the ball in his hands too. mangini is still here, favre is still here. lets see what happens this week.
If Favre had said he thought the Jets could not have scored passing the ball, now THAT would be controversial. This quote? Not so much.
Yep. You're new, so I guess you're learning Champ's style. You might have even just made his spreadsheet. Champ, Brett thought they could have scored, implying they should have passed it instead of 3 straight runs. So what? That's called disagreement; and dis isn't short for disagreement, it's the abbreviation for disrespect, which Favre is not doing to Mangini in the interview you quoted.
Big deal of course he really thinks that. Media needs something else to report about instead of trying to get players to trip up.
The following is what we've heard from him all week when the press keeps hounding him about the sequence of downs. I'll bet he said something similar in that interview. http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/jets/ny-spjets185847844sep18,0,3385064.story
