Wearing uniforms intended to pay homage to the American Football League, the New York Jets played on Sunday like a member of the Arena Football League.
The Jets have hung 56 points on the Cardinals, and quarterback Brett Favre has set a career high with six touchdown passes.
The single-game record is seven. Four NFL quarterbacks accomplished the feat. The only AFL quarterback who did it was George Blanda of the Houston Oilers.
Blanda accomplished the feat in 1961, against – you guessed it — the New York Titans.

Some might say Favre and the Jets were running up the score.
Karma police, anything on this?

Nice to see that Favre’s high school teammate, Senator John McCain, call him up and congratulate him.
Think Favre was in his 2nd season with the Pack when Blanda had 7 TDs.

The Pack can officially start calling the trade of Favre a mistake.

How can you run up the score when Arizona was scoring a TD every time they got the ball, recovered two onside kicks, and your FG kicker missed three FGs.
btw, this should silence the nitwits who said the only reason Favre was playing on his injured ankle was to extend his streak. Well guess what, he extended his streak, and threw 6 TDs doing it. lol

The way the Jets’ defense was playing in the second half, no…this was not running up the score.

I don’t know. How can you run up the score down by 14 points at a division rivals stadium? The Pats were accused of it last year against Miami.

You know Favre is kicking himself…if he waited about three weeks after retiring, he could have been doing this every week with Randy Moss in N.E. Ugh. can you imagine? Favre to Moss would have been an actuality.
Anyway, congrats, Brett.

there were 2 minutes remaining, the jets were up by two scores, and favre was throwing deep on fourth down. how can you call that anything but running up the score? (well, i guess you could call it “going for another questionable record”, ala “the sack that never was”…also involving brett favre.)

I’m still trying to see where this article had anything to do with the Pats other than their fan’s constant attempts to keep them relevant. Move on, everyone else has.

There’s no such thing as running up the score in pro football. As a fan, I expect my team to dominate the other team and win by as many points as humanly possible. It’s the opposing defense’s job to stop it.

i’m trying to figure out why bill bellicheat is posting under the name “spartachris”…
i mean, isn’t it the defense’s job to hit the qb so hard that he can’t play anymore? or is it “poor sportsmanship” to cheer when the other team’s player gets hurt? by your logic, there’s no such thing as sportsmanship in pro football at all, is there? it’s all about jobs.
the real reason you don’t have your qb throwing on fourth down with under two minutes to go and your team leading by 13 is that they were in field goal range. a field goal makes it a 16 point game. do you really think that the cardinals were going to score twice and get two-point conversions on both scores with 1:50 and no timeouts? it was a boneheaded coaching decision, one that he won’t have to answer for because they managed to score on it.

And where are all the morons who were talking S%$T about Favre wanting to come back before the season started??!?! Calling him washed up….. Ha to all you clowns! The guy can still play…. and play well!
Congrats to Brett!
Wish he was still a Packer cause we need him… we look like crap… and defensive coordinators have figured out how to stop Aaron and our offense….

Hmmmmmm…..Pat’s fan being exposed as losers? As memory serves me right didn’t the Bucs get beaten in the first round of playoffs last year? And talk about losers I understand a Bucs player is a rapeist? I’d rather be a cheater than a rapeist.So look it’s the pot calling the kettle black.
Hasn’t fat mommy and creepy daddy been showing you the special love that they only give to you?

I didn’t guess that.
Well, to be honest, I didn’t know I was supposed to be guessing anything.

formyministy,
Your strategy make sense except for a few significant points you decided to leave out either through ignorance or the fact you knew it would destroy your argument. Feeley was missing FGs left and right, Arizona already recovered two onside kicks, and almost a third, and Arizona was easily moving the ball down the field with little resistance. 1:50 left for two scores to win the game was not such a reach this game was playing out.

Good for him. Last I heard the Packers were doing well without him. Looks like a win-win.
Update: Oh, um . . .

I am glad he did well — earlier in the day I just saw th interceptions and thought oh no!. I wish he could have stuck around, but I don’t think he was as motivated to play until everything went down like it did
