Great would have been winning the championship and going to the Super Bowl. That only required 5 yds and not 10. He didn't need to be great in that situation to accomplish a great goal. He needed to be good enough. Had he maintained the right objective and picked up those yards, the commentary would have been how Favre led his team - in spite of themselves - to victory and a great accomplishment. Instead, he was looking for a great play and wound up not even being good enough for the situation. I guess the question becomes what's great in this situation?

I watched in horror as Favre did everything to get his team in position - even as his teammates dropped balls (were there really 5 fumbles on 3 straight possessions). And then, with victory well in his sights, he was struck blind. I love his competitive nature and he's a great example - but there are times when good enough is great and the shot at great is idiotic.
