WhoDi, that is an excellent point. I guess it depends on how charitable we are on Sunday?

Do not stick a fork in Favre. If he was on any other team in the NFL he would not be on an 0-4 team. This defense is crap, easily worse than the Saints. The receivers are junk. Driver has caused at least two interceptions this year already. No tightend, no running game and the o-line is plain awful. Favre's the only good player on this team and everyone is blaming him for the team's failures.

I'm not totally anti-Favre here, but there's no way he can succeed with what they have to work with. When the Packers decided to let their 2 all pro guards leave in free agency, it sure looked like they had given up on running the football. Couple that with a defense that was broken last year and it isn't a recipe for success. The smart move for the Packers would have been to deal Favre for a fistful of picks to a team like Miami and let Rodgers play. As it stands right now, the Packers could probably still deal him to the Jets, Ravens, Raiders or Chiefs who need to win right now and leverage him into several picks that would let the packers rebuild.

It seems like Favre won't be able to be productive as long as this rebuild is going to take. The Favre era may well be over.
