Couch signed with Green Bay in June but looked horrible in the preseason. The Packers released him after failing to trade him, and I believe he was looking into an injury grievance because he's claiming he was injured when he was released. Now there's word he may sign with Chicago to be a back-up there.

Honestly, Favre has had some good regular seasons the past few years, but he's not done well in the playoffs. Picked off six times against the Rams in 2001, beaten at home by the Falcons in 2002 where he put up a passer rating of 54.4, 2003 was better but he threw that horrible interception to basically end the Eagles game, and now 2004 he's picked off four times at home against a weak Vikings defense that's missing some starters.

Again, he's remained consistently good in the regular season, but it seems to me the only reason Favre is still hanging around is the chance to get another ring. The way he's been playing in the post-season the last couple of seasons, combined with the Packers' defensive struggles, you have to wonder how realistic an expectation that is. I think he hangs it up.
