Almost. Almost. ALMOST. One 49 point blowout and six losses by an average of five points each...
Favre passed John Elway and moved into second place for career passes and yards, but couldn't overcome the mistakes that left the Packers in unfamiliar territory. They haven't had a losing record since 1991, when Favre was a backup in Atlanta. It's the longest active streak without a losing season in the NFL.
The Cincinnati Bengals held on for a 21-14 victory that left the Green Bay Packers quarterback lying motionless on the field, exhausted and overwhelmed by it all.
"I said to myself, 'This is way too difficult week-in and week-out.' It's hard to make a living that way each week,"' Favre said.
Ominous words, those.
He had a tough day today. Five picks. This is the end of the road for the mighty Favre. It's a sad ending and it's not his fault. You have to have someone to throw to. You have to have someone to protect you.
The season is over. Maybe Brett can leave us a victory over the Bears in our Christmas stockings. But his career will end in the regular season, on New Year's Day in Green Bay, against the Eagles.
Also ominous: no local TV, as Fox opted for Bears-Lions instead, a game that actually MATTERS to the NFC North race.
