Favre Results Favre played wonderful last night. He had one of his best games ever and an almost perfect quarterback rating. In the first half alone he was 15-17 for 311 yards and 4 touchdowns. That was amazing by itself. He finished the game 22-30 with 399 yards and a quarterback rating of 153.9. (158.3 is perfect) Some of the passes he threw were just incredible. They were the type of passes that seemed nearly unhuman. His receivers also made some incredible catches. Favre moved into second place in NFL history for touchdown passes passing Fran Tarkenton with 346 total. Oh by the way, the Packers creamed the Raiders 41-7.

The game was over by halftime but I couldn't stop watching. The game marked Favre's 188 consecutive game in a row as the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. That's every game since one in 1992 in which he offered a relief effort to lead the Packers to victory over the Bengals. This is a truly remarkable streak. Favre has played through pain in his career but never pain like this. It was an honor to watch this man battle adversity and kick its ass in the process. I respect you like none other.
