Favre undecided on future plans

~ The Packers' 36-year-old quarterback has thrown a career-high 28 interceptions this season.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Last Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears offered proof Brett Favre has still got it: a 56-yard dart to wide receiver Donald Driver, putting the Packers in position for a last-minute comeback.

What happened next is why people are wondering if Favre's time is up.

Back-to-back sacks, a desperation heave for an interception -- his fourth of the game and career-worst 28th of the season -- and another Packers loss.

"He's trying to do everything possible to win that game, somehow, some way," said Seattle coach Mike Holmgren, Favre's former mentor in Green Bay. "You can't do it by yourself. I don't care how great you are. You need protection, you need somebody to hand it to, somebody to catch it."

Injuries and free agency have cost Favre most of his supporting cast this year, but that's only one reason Sunday's game against Holmgren's Seahawks at Lambeau Field might be Favre's last.

With victories suddenly hard to come by for the Packers (3-12), the football field no longer serves as a sanctuary from his family's recent string of hardship. Favre also wonders if the team's management is preparing to rebuild without him, and is just trying to figure out how to break the news to him.

And Favre, 36, doesn't see a losing season, his first in 14 years in Green Bay, as motivation to return.

"I've had so many people say, 'Well, you can't go out that way. You've got to come back and redeem yourself and redeem this team's season,'" Favre said. "But in all honesty, if this is it, I have gone out on top. I mean, I really have. One season does not define me, no matter how good or how bad it is."

Favre said he has to figure out if he can fully commit to another season.
