Rotowire: "Just to quote the medical staff, his (starting) streak is not in danger. He'll be OK," coach Mike McCarthy said Friday, the day after Favre was knocked out of the Packers' 37-27 loss at Dallas with elbow and shoulder injuries. His streak, which dates to 1992, stands at 249 games (269 including playoffs) and is a league record for quarterbacks.
Favre is having a great season and many of us has benefited from drafting him in the later rounds. But seeing this is about FF and not starting streaks or records, I'm interested in how Favre does this weekend against a tough Oakland secondary. Because OAK has a soft run D, I see Grant pounding away and giving Favre as much of rest as possible. Favre has some great weapons to throw to which makes him tough to bench, but realistically, how is this game going to go? What's the extent of his injuries, especially since there's talk of surgery in the offseason? Will he be pulled if the game gets out of hand? This is a crucial week for many of us starting our playoffs; so who are you starting over Favre this week?
