Favre was an interception machine.

Nothing but teabow articles and not one that I saw on H.P. ? That was Hall of Famer v.s. Hicksville...What's all the hubbub about Jethro anyways?

The Dolphin unit that beat Billy Kilmer in the Superbowl was the No Name Defense. The Killer Bees came later.

Tony Eason, 0 for 6 vs Da Bears, didnt make it to halftime, looked like a deer in the headlights.

I like the inclusion of Morton and Tarkington's SB flops from the 70's (not as sure about kilmer) but really this article should have been titled: Worst QB playoff perfomances since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger or even: Worst NFL MODERN playoff perfomances.
It's no surprise that the article makes no attempt to look at games pre-1970. Rarely does the sports media look back at NFL history too far.
That's how Mr. Morall of SB III fame escaped the list. Not to mention Frank Filchock and his 6 INT's in the 1946 Championship game.
But how about the two non-performances of Tampa Bays QB's in the 1979 (jan '80) NFC Championship game? Can you say 4 for 26 for 54 yards with 1 pick, no TD's? I heard that Tampa Coach McKay, always quick with a line and always in need of a sense of humor coaching the Bucs at that time said after the game:
"My mistake, I was suppossed to put both those guys (both buc qb's) on the unable to perform list before th game. It was a clerical error."

There's a great clip of McKay (after another Bucs disaster) being asked what he thought of his team's execution that day. McKay replied that he was in favor of it!

I was glad to see Favre make the list. But why only once? With the exception of the 1996 season, when they won the Super Bowl, every Packer playoff run ended with a Favre interception. As a Packer fan, it was brutal to watch.

Well technically the year the Pack lost the SB to Denver that game ended with a foolish Farve incompletion, not an INT.

I stand corrected. F&F!

Didn't the defeat to 49ers in 1998 have end with with a TD, just Young had time to engineer another drive for TD to retake the lead?

The fact that Earl Morrall' s absolutely abysmal performance in Super Bowl III for Baltimore is not on this list gives it a D- Minus for credibility. Morrall is, and always should be, #1 on this list. The juggernaut 1968 Baltimore Colts, 15-1 going into the Superbowl after crushing Cleveland by 34 points in the NFL title game have Morrall as their QB. Unitas is out all season and Morrall leads Colts into the Super Bowl as18 pt favorites. Morrall is beyond awful all game vs. the Jets. He throws 3 interceptions in the first half, misses even seeing wide open primary receivers all game, plays like he has been sedated. Colts lose Super Bowl III in shocking upset that reverberates around football world for decades. Earl Morrall is the ultimate playoff skunk!

I'm a Jets fan and if Unitas had started that game we won have "0" SB wins.

Joe Namath played a great game & Colts zone secondary got shredded. But Shula was a rigid idiot. I blame Shula for not putting in Unitas, only the best QB ever perhaps, at halftime when Morrall was totally choking!

It's true Earl Morral had an abysmal game, but he was never a true starter. As a back up, he was great. The lions never should have traded him away.
