My Brett Favre Blog

In what appears to be the final chapter (for now) in the Brett Favre Vikings story, Favre was signed to a deal to make him the Vikings starting quarterback. The Vikes have long believed they were one great QB away from Super Bowl immortality, but does this really have them Miami-bound in 2010? Let's take a look at some finer points and mark a few games on the Minnesota Vikings 2009 schedule.

The Vikes are super mega solid at RB with Adrian Peterson. We all know that. The problem in the past is that teams looked across the line and saw Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels, so they loaded the line in an attempt to stop the run. Makes sense, but they can not do that so readily now. Now they see a 3-time MVP and Super Bowl winner breaking the huddle. I believe this can only help Peterson and the Vikings.

And now the Brett Favre Vikings, as I like to call them, because they are his team now, make no mistake about that, are immediately a bigger deep threat. Bernard Berrian averaged over 20 yards a catch last year on 48 catches from the inferior Rosenfels Jackson combo. That is the highest average for any receiver with over 35 catches! And now Brett Favre is winging it? Please!

Only two Tight Ends caught more TDs last year than the Vikes' Visanthe Shiancoe; a couple of guys name Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates. The arrival of Favre means Shiancoe immediately becomes a top-10 TE again this year.

Schedule time! Let's see, Brett Favre Vikings host the Aaron Rodgers Packers October 5. There are waaaayyy too many angles and dramatic possibilities to discuss here, but even if you are not a Packer Backer or a Vikings Fan, you have got to tune in to see this matchup. Playoff implications abound.

Then the Pack hosts the Vikes in Labeau Field on November 1, on All Saint's Day. So do not eat too much Halloween candy the night before, and break out your favorite Saint's relics, because this is going to be a monster. Brett knows a little about playing in Lambeau, and Rodgers was absolutely fabulous replacing the legend last year. I can't wait.

Brett Favre Vikings, wow, it doesn't sound right, but unless the flip-flopping Favre changes his mind again, get ready for some drama in Minnesota in 2009, and possibly a Super Bowl run.
