Brett Favre spoke softly and shrugged his aging shoulders,
saying for perhaps the last time in his legendary career: “I don’t have all the
answers.”
Mike Holmgren had some, and took a victory lap through the snow in his last game
in Seattle.
If this is Favre’s kind of weather, then the magic for the three-time MVP
quarterback just disappeared with the Jets’ playoff chances.
Seattle’s Maurice Morris sliced through the snow like a sled for a season-high
116 yards and John Carlson scored the only touchdown on a short pass from backup
Seneca Wallace as the lowly Seahawks ended New York’s stay atop the AFC East
with a 13-3 upset Sunday.
“Three points is obviously not enough. There are a lot of reasons for that,”
Favre said. “We are well aware of what opportunities that have been there for
us. That’s what’s disappointing.”
Holmgren, who’s taking a sabbatical from football in 2009, walked around the
edge of the field with tears in his eyes immediately after the second win in
eight games for Seattle (4-11). Green Day’s “Time of Your Life” blared over the
public-address system amid a weird scene of snowballs pelting down around the
60-year-old coach...
