I don't give too much credibility to injuries. Every team has them. Dallas has had them this season, too. To say that Green Bay could have won that game with it's "top" defensive players is a stretch. Favre had his worst game of the year because he faced the best defense of his year so far. It's only when Dallas let up on the pass rush that Rogers started completing passes. Before that, they were destroying Favre. Literally.
The first 20 minutes of this game was the most dominant I've seen Dallas all season. The lesson I hoped they learned is to have that attitude of putting teams away. When the starting QB is knocked out of the game, you don't let up. You apply more pressure.
