Should Favre sit out the Raiders game?


The starting streak for Brett Favre is impressive. The team is also impressive enough for Favre to take a week off. This is bigger than a starting streak. This is about going into the playoffs strong. This is about a week off during the playoff run. Sit down Brett. If this shoulder doesn't heal up, or should Favre get hit again before it heals up, who's to say he's safe for the rest of the season? On any given day, one NFL team should be able to beat the other, but the Green Bay Packers are going up against the Oakland Raiders, then the Rams. Aaron Rogers should be given the chance to take the wheel for a game. I agree with Richard Stephan of BleacherReport "If the Packers win one more game, they're pretty much a lock for the second seed in the postseason.And they can—and should—do it without Favre." This is the time of the season when great teams rise above the injuries and keep winning. Perhaps Brett, you need another week to get better?
