So if Brett Favre really better then Tavaris Jackson?

Brett Favre is 5-0 for the first time in his career, so I was curious on where he ranked in Viking history for season by a QB. He ranks 56th and is climbing fast the last two games. But what I noticed is that TJack (Tavaris Jackson) from 2008 was ranked 57. So, just looking at the stats from pro-football-reference.com through five games there are some remarkable similarities. Click the title to go to the page I was reading, if you can read stats!! Both started 5 games Both had 149 attempt, Favre completed 15 more of those. Both had about the same yardage, so TJack got more bang for his completion 1069 vs 1056. Both completed 6 TD and 2 INT TJack was sacked 14 times and Favre was sacked 11 Now TJack's stats are more then just those five games, they also include the games in which he did not start. I watched most games and don't really recall how many times he may have come in relief and did something either good or bad. Rk Year Age Tm Pos G GS QBrec ...

Favre beats the Packers soundly

Brett Favre wanted to beat the Packers. You can see it in everything he says or does. Ted Thompson took a big risk by trading Favre, but Aaron Rodgers looks just about as good as Brett, the biggest difference is the offensive line. I think if you were to switch QB only and everyone knows the offense. I think this game ends very similar. Favre emotions took over a good part of this game. The Viking defense had trouble with the long passes. The punting game for the Vikings really played well, with three straight pins deep in the Packer end of the field, two near the 5 and the other at the 15. Great game, and great comeback attempt by the Packers to make the game fun right up to the end. The silly little people that called the 3rd down play when the Packers are trying to save clock time nearly cost the Vikings the game.

Brett Favre to Greg Lewis

While watching the game with many family members, I continued to reasure them that all Favre needs is four seconds to win just about any game. Relax, Relax. Settle down, relax and watch, this is why we are paying this guy so much. One by one some of them left, seating was limited. By the end of the game, there was just about five of us. And unbelievable, I know I had said it and predicted it, but I still did not believe that it could actually happen. Favre drops back, gets flushed out of the pocket, looks like he is just throwing it away but deep through the endzone?... No Wait, number 17 grabs the ball and the ref puts both hands up!! Is is possible? did he really get both feet in bounds!!! They got to review it, look close, did his foot stay in? looks in, he looks in... I think he just did it, wow...wow.. we are winning, we are winning.. Time how much time... what two seconds, two seconds!! 2 seconds!!! 0:02 just one tackle, just one more tackle... Squib kick it, if ever a time cal...

Favre Makes more history

Brett Favre made more history yesterday as the newest Minnesota Viking. Brett has moved past Randy Moss in yards passing on the all-time passing leaders on the Vikings. Rank Name Comp ATT. PCT. Yds TD 28 Alfred Anderson 4 9 44.4 112 2 29 Randy Moss 4 8 50.0 106 2 And in Yesterdays Games Name Comp/ATT Yds TD INT B. Favre 14/21 110 1 0 T. Jackson 0/1 0 0 0 So Alfred Anderson should go down next on Brett Hit list! At this pace Brett Favre is on pace for 1760 yds and that would be good enough for about 18th place on the list just behind Jim McMahon another inter division Superbowl winning quarterback that jump to the Vikings late in his career. For some reason there was not near as much hoopla about that guy as there was about Brett Favre!!!

Brad Childress what does he know?

The Vikings released veteran wide out Bobby Wade and signing Greg Lewis. Bobby Wade was a good guy, liked in the locker room. I do now understand what Brad Childress is thinking. These players are pretty much interchangeable statistically speaking, Lewis probably has a bit more speed. But do the Vikings need more speed? at WR we have Harvin, Berrian, Raynaud, and Jaymar Johnson. whhooooosshh! A good possession receiver is what they need, is that was Lewis brings to this team? Bobby Wade has seven years in NFL, and has led the Vikings in catches the past two seasons, 107 catches for 1,292 yards and five touchdowns in 26 starts. Lewis in six seasons with Philadelphia made 23 starts. He had 127 catches for 1,699 yards and seven touchdowns. His best performance was in 2005, when he caught 48 passes for 561 yards and a touchdown while starting all 16 games. The only thing I think is that Brad thinks this guy can do something on Punt coverage, that is still a weakness on this team and Lewis ...

Patriots Run up the score again

OK, so this is prior to the game tonight, But this subject has come in to question in the last few games that the Patriots have played, and probably will tonight. At first I was thinking the Patriots in the Redskin game were ruthless and wrong. Then after watching the Bills game in which they Mentioned that the coaches were on good terms. I saw them twice, when in good Field goal range, they went for it on fourth down both times and eventually scored Touch Downs. John Madden was eve defending his choice by saying that if you don't want them to run up the score, then you had better figure out how to stop them. I definitely don't agree with that comment. This team has been stopped with a three and out only 13% of the time. How are the lowly Bills suppose to be the first team to figure that out when there game plan was blown out of the water? I am sure John Madden has it figured out. Then I watched the Viking game Sunday, they blew out the Lions. At one point they were up quite a ...

Round Two

What are the odds that David Harris will still be there when the Vikings pick at 9? I think that they realy need a LB, I don't know if Chad is going to be back and ready this year or not? Of Course I did read that they really liked Blaylock OG from TX

Vikings take Adrian Peterson

I like this guy. Reports are that he will be special. But how do you sign Chester Taylor to a big money contract just last year and not take Brady Quinn? Peterson should be a great player, but can they win with TJack at QBack?
