I agree with you two. Idolize Favre all you want -- just don't let it get in the way of your rationality. The Packers may have been slightly better this year with Favre at the helm; we'll never know. It's all pure speculation. But if you believe they would have been Superbowl-bound with him tossing the rock, then you must believe Favre can make the blind to see and the lame to walk, and as far as I know, only one Man is capable of that feat.

Remember, Favre himself said after last season that we might go 13-3 in 2008 -- or we could just as easily go 3-13. He wasn't as prescient as he might have seemed. Like everyone else, he was able to look at the schedule and see the ride wouldn't be as easy this year.

That may have contributed to his decision to retire: he knew he would look a lot better riding off into the sunset after a NFC Championship bid than after a potentially mediocre season in which he struggled unsuccessfully to return the team to the greatness it enjoyed only one season before.

As it turned out, he made the smart decision.

Favre is God.

Oh, wait. He's no longer playing for 'Gods team', nevermind this post. 😛

I havn't gone anywhere, I never go into the NFL news section.

Honestly you can call me a "favre fan" or whatever you want, truth is I'm a Packers fan AND a football fan.

I love watching HOF'ers and greats do what they do because its so rare. I despised Joe Montana but he is what he was, great. It was still soemthing to watch even, even if your cheering against him. So I will continue to watch Favre as long as he plays because I think its rare to watch a talent like that play, he's 39 and its not going to happen for much longer.

I wish him the best, he gave us an awesome 16 years, he deserves to be happy because whatever he does has NO negative effect on the Packers. It can only help us if the Jets make the playoffs or even win the Super Bowl.

Well, I think the question has been answered in the Back Alley section. Favre started the year awesome, then just tapered. I think his age is catching up to him.

I'm a HUGE Favre fan, one of the biggest on this board probably. But I think he's at the point that his role should be lessened and they should be a run first team. He was solid after 11 games, an MVP consideration. Hasn't done squat since.

If he comes back next year, they need to pound the run with Jones and work Washington more into the mix. Washington's got as good a burst as anyone in the NFL and I don't see why the Jets don't use him more. If the Jets do this, Favre can excel again and play solidly a whole season. Let Favre have a more "Collinsish" role. I bet if they did, you'd see the Jets win more games.

I think what happens on this board is this: People say they dont really care how Brett does because hes no longer a packer, it comes across as he never existed. I for one can't flip a switch on my favorite player, he has made me a fan of football and still does. I totally understand all the die hard Packer fans on this board because it is your/my team. But that doesnt mean we cant wish the Jets to do well to.

We also cant assume everything that went down with the Packers and Favre, I bet we dont know the most what happened there. All I say is this: Everyone has the right to change their mind, I do it all the time and I am sure everyone on this board changes their minds as well from time to time. Football is Favre's life and yes he retired to soon, but then you have people saying that Favre has always held the team hostage without giving an answer right away if he was coming back or not, so now we have a guy/Favre who made up his mind to soon all because they wanted an answer at that time. Again I do not know what all happened.

I will root for the Jets to win games with Favre as their leader and I am not going to opologize for that. He is my hero and always will be.

Your are right Jules!! But there is a difference in sports heroes and heroes that you truly love. I do NOT love Brett Favre, I do love my parents and yes they are my one and true heroes. But in the sports world Brett is my hero.

I am so sorry Jules, I know the holidays are so difficult when you dont have those people that you truly love and care about around. My parents are both living, my Mom is really sick, but living far away from them during the holidays and the rest of the year is so hard. I know its nothing of what you are feeling having lost a parent. My heart is with you girlfriend.

I don't see why we can't root for 2 teams. I root Packers first, whatever team Brett Favre is on 2nd.

What I don't get is when people have an issue with that. You put Favre's team 1st, Packers 2nd. Fine. At least you know your loyalties.

But there were people on this board who were actually rooting AGAINST Brett Favre, and I simply don't get that. Favre gave us all those awesome seasons. He set all those records as a PACKER. He will always be a Packer to me, and I'll remember him years from now as a Packer, not as a Jet or whatever team he is on next year.

Both my parents are still alive and I can't imagine what it's like to lose either parent. If I thought about it, who are my heroes, I'd probably say the same thing you said.

What is so strange about people rooting against a player who plays for another team? No one on this board would be rooting for the Jets if Favre weren't playing for them, so why would you assume that Packers fans would automatically root for the Jets simply because he is? There are literally dozens of former Packers playing for other teams throughout the league -- why aren't you rooting for them? Because they're not Packers anymore.

Favre is no longer a Packer, maudlin rhetoric from sentimental fans notwithstanding. Therefore, I don't root for him.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (20h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (20h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (21h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (21h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (21h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (22h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (22h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (23h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
