[QUOTE="net, post: 116905, member: 200"] An old coach of mine had a dilemma. The most popular guy on the team was also the QB. But over the course of the season it became clear he wasn't cutting the mustard, and his backup was making plays. The starter was shaken up in a game and the backup came in and propelled the team forward and we won. Who started the next week? The former backup. The coach called everyone together and said something enlightening. "We're here to win football games, not win popularity contests". In my view, regardless of Brett Favre's popularity or history, if he continues to play like he did against New England, someone else should get a shot. Aaron Rodgers didn't do any better in his time, contrary to the story above. But Packer fans have to realize that the goal is to win games. Quite honestly, while the focus of Sunday's game was on the offense, it was the defense that gave up 35 points, not the offense. The offense didn't help, but you have a sense where this team is with home losses to Chicago and New England that produced zilch. Brett(when he's on) gives the Packers a chance to score points, but the core problem of this team remains its defense. "If they can't score, they can't beat you"- that also was said by my former coach. [/QUOTE]
