    • I don't know about anyone else, but I had a really hard time watching him in that game against Cinci. I'm not a Pack fan, but I have a great deal of respect for Favre, and I feel really bad for him now. I have never seen a QB look as exhausted and utterly defeated as he did after that loss yesterday. The Pack (even without all the injuries) are on the slide. Anyone else think this is his last year? I don't see a reason for him to keep going after this season at this point.
     
    I don't think he'll retire after this year. He's too proud to go out on a losing note. The Packers are very young, and have had a ton of injuries this year, still they are competitive each week. Four of their losses were by a combined total of 9 points, that's 2.25 points a game!! In all their losses they are getting beat by an average of 5 points a game! I don't see that as going downhill at all.

    He should have called it quits two years ago.

    Bullshit!!! Favre is 2nd in the NFC in yardage, TD's, and completions. He's also tied for the least number of sacks, with a rebuilt and oft injured O line. I think he can still play a little!!!!! He does lead in interceptions but when you're trying to make up for a lack of weapons, its understandable.

    those stats don't mean very much. They have no running game, with their #1 and #2 RBs both injured. His passing efficiency, TD to INT ratio, etc are more useful stats.

    I don't feel sorry for him at all. It's getting rather tiresome to hear the media still sucking his dick even though he's basically sucked the last two years in the playoffs. The announcers yesterday kept talking him up despite his 5 interceptions. His flip 5 yards past the line of scrimmage wasn't sad it was downright pathetic.

    Well yesterday we saw Favre have one of his worst ever outings for the Pack. Picked 5 times (a record, and not one a QB wishes to set). The only thing that kept this game close for the Bengals was a combination of their own ineptitude (poor clock management at the half steals 3 points for instance) and the Packer D playing well enough to stymie the Bengals efforts to convert the picks into points.

    Nonetheless this was a W for the Bengals, they beat a team they should beat, once again. What they failed to do was beat them as soundly as expected, nor did they beat them as soundly as they should have done.

    Had the Bengals actually taken all those 5 picks for points this game ends up being far adrift from the final score of 21-14. As much as the Packer D helped their cause noone should doubt that Favre did his part by keeping Green Bay close. I really doubt that many other QBs would have engineered things such that they still had a chance on a final drive to even up the score.

    Here BTW we see the stadium security demonstrating their tackling technique. It took them too long to track down the intoxicated fan, Gregory Gall, so some wind sprints may be called for on Monday.

    I like Favre as much as anybody but he's not done the Packers any favors by not being able to definitively tell them if he's going to retire. May be time to get Rodgers some PT soon.

    The Packers just aren't very good... period... Obviously they are dinged up at the skill positions.. and their offensive line is, well... terrible... I know size isn't everything, but their center looks like a HS player...

    At any rate, at least Favre's trying... dunno about the rest of them... SHould he have retired by now? Sure... but, he's pretty much their whole offense right now...

    Never have, never will understand this, "Player X should have retired by now," nonsense. Should have? According to whom? Last I checked, Favre was a grown man, complete (presumably) with a brain, dick and balls, and had the same rights and privileges as the rest of us. Plainly, he should retire whenever the hell he damn well pleases, whether that be tomorrow or thirty years from now. And that's not even taking into account that he's a living legend. He's as close to the Michael Jordan of football as you can really get. Hell, MJ's pathological retiring and un-retiring was a joke, but every one of his moves was his to make, and every team to which he returned was damn lucky to have him. Don't like the media licking Favre's ass 24/7? Hey, neither do I, but I can at least understand it. When Kurt Warner's pucker was the media's designated salt lick, or Jeff Garcia's, I was appalled. And where are they now? Fact is, Favre is a three-time league MVP. He's arguably the toughest quarterback to ever play the game. He's got a Super Bowl ring, and a pile of offensive records, and never needs to answer to anybody but himself and his family. Nobody else on the planet has reasonable cause to suggest that he should retire because he's "not that good anymore." You concerned for his health or safety? Fine, express it. But stop calling for the man's head.

    Regarding "feeling bad" for the guy, there can't be too many players in the league right now with shittier luck than Favre. He graced this Packer team with his presence for another year, and they lose their top wideout, their top two backs, their return man, a starting linebacker, and god knows what else to injury. They lose games on 56-yard field goals, and have potential game-changing drives altered by drunk, inbred Cincinatti white trash. I guarantee you this - Favre doesn't want anyone's pity. Nevertheless, not feeling bad for a guy that lives and dies on the field having to spend the golden years of his career being thrashed week in and week out, just because he's going to go to the Hall of Fame...that's a little stupid. You think Favre gives a shit right now about going to the Hall of Fame? My guess is he'd trade that in in a heartbeat for another shot at a Super Bowl. If you just plain don't like the guy, that's cool too. Hell, I admire your ability to buck the trend.

    Bottom line? The league is better with Brett Favre in it. I hope he plays until he wins another Super Bowl, because that's what he deserves.
