Brett Favre injured in game against New England

This game was a tough one on me as it is, Brady & Favre going head to head. Packers & Patriots. As much as I LIKE the Patriots, I LOVE the Packers. Unfortunatly the Patriots beat the Packers and my most faved player of all time, has been injured. Its been speculated by some, that he wont return and this is the end of his career, to go out with an injury instead of a horrible season for the Packers.

I, however, feel that Favre is a strong man, a tough man and he will start the next game against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday the 27th.

I truly and honestly don't know how to feel about Rodgers, he's been training with Favre, but does he have Favre's talent? Will be be as good as Favre? Only time will tell. I hate to say that eventually, Favre will have to retire, either on his own during a winning or losing season or by injury.

No doubt, there will be a huge hole in the Packers team, a void in the Hearts of all the fans when he does retire.

I ask, who is going to fill this void? Who will step-up and reign as Quarterback as well as Favre has? Is it Rodgers, or will it be someone else? Whoever it may be, has some mighty shoes to fill.

P.S., Yes, I did cry when Favre was escorted off the field. My heart jammed in my chest when I saw he was hurt, and I couldn't stop the tears that followed as I watched him go into the locker rooms.

Love, Jenny

"Packers QB Favre injured, leaves game late in first half"
CBS SportsLine.com wire reports............

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Not even the New England Patriots who sacked Brett Favre on his last play Sunday knew the three-time MVP was injured until there was a lull in the action.

Favre, making his 251st consecutive start including playoffs, hurt his right elbow late in the second quarter of the Green Bay Packers' 35-0 loss to New England and did not return. His status for next Monday's night game at Seattle is unclear, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.

"He took a shot on the elbow," McCarthy said. "He was not able to gain strength in his hand, as far as holding the football, controlling the football.

"As far as the future, how bad it is, I'd be speculating."

Favre was replaced by second-year quarterback Aaron Rodgers -- but to make matters worse for the Packers, Rodgers was walking with a limp through the locker room after the game.

Favre and Rodgers both declined to talk to reporters.

McCarthy said Favre wasn't complaining about pain after the injury, but was unable to muster enough strength in his hand to adequately grip the football after halftime. Favre will have an extra day of rest this week before the Packers' night game at Seattle on Nov. 27.

Favre was wrapped up low by Tully Banta-Cain and was on his way down when Tedy Bruschi slammed into him, forcing him down hard on his right arm and throwing shoulder with 1:41 left in the half.

"I didn't realize that he even got hurt until later and it wasn't like I knew anything had happened," Banta-Cain said. "My heart goes out to him and I hope everything's OK."

Favre, who finished 5-for-15 for 73 yards, struggled to his feet and doubled over, grasping at his wrist and elbow.

"He hit right on a nerve," McCarthy said. "The funny bone nerve. I mean, we don't want to classify it."

Favre, on the injury report this week because of ankle and groin injuries, held the arm gingerly on the sideline as the training staff looked at him before he was carted off the field at halftime.

"Brett's a tough guy, one of the toughest guys in the league. It doesn't matter if he's a quarterback or not, he's one of the toughest guys in the league," Bruschi said. "You know when he can't come back like that something's probably up."
