Favre Will Start

Was there any question Brett Favre would start if he can walk?  The question now is how long can he last?  We'll find out today at 4:15 when the Vikings take on the Patriots.

My expectations are to play and play well enough for us to have a chance to win this game," Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder on Saturday.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Jackson finishes this game, if the Vikings get down big early, and they might because New England will be relentless against Favre and remember he has 2 fractres in his ankle.  Mark my word, Favre will bench himself as soon as this game is out of reach. 

I have to think Tarvaris Jackson will et in this game and be more effective that Favre.

Brett Favre Watch: Will He or Won't He? Day 4

Brett Favre has started 291 consecutive games at quarterback dating back to the 1992 season.  It is looking more and more like that streak could come to an end this weekend.

Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress is reportedly leaning toward benching Brett Favre for backup quarterback Tavaris Jackson in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.

Favre is out of the walking boot he has been wearing, but hasn't practiced all week.  That doesn't mean anything, and the question people are asking now is who makes this decision?  Will it be Favre or Childress?

How must Tavaris Jackson feel right now?  A team may start a crippled old man ahead of him.  Stay tuned.
