Coming from a coach's perspective (not counting in the whole death, that is obviously a painful thing for Favre and his teammates) I would not want to:

1.Put in a backup that hasn't taken an in season snap in a LONG time
2.Break the consecutive game streak. I mean it shows balls to want to play the game you love with your father dead. This game does have playoff implications, and Favre is obviously the heart of this team. After the game I'm sure he will spend some very good time with his family. They will be rooting for him at home.
3.Put all the pressure on Green. Yes he's great. Really great. I just don't see relying on one person working out really well. Jamal Lewis can pull it off yes, but it isn't a guaranteed way to win.
