I'm driving up to Duluth tomorrow, and most likely won't have internet access until Monday night/Tuesday. So let me preemptively write my thoughts about the Vikings game that'll take place tomorrow.
*ahem*
What the hell? Again?
We were up at halftime? Again? Except this time 28-3?
Only to lose 52-49 on a last second 40 yard bomb to Megatron?
I'm somewhat surprised we even put up 21 points in the 2nd half (what, with Donovan McNabb going something like 1 for 17 for negative 12 yards). But I guess the 2 kickoff returns for TD and the fumble return for a touchdown WASN'T ENOUGH. Since Megatron decided to break every single game receiving stat there is.
But it's OK. 0-3 isn't the worst start in the world. Well, after 3 weeks it is... but we still have time to win a game! Surely, one game... we'll have the halftime lead, and only choke 99% of the lead away!
And we play the Chiefs next week! They're terrible! So we'll probably be up by 38 by halftime, and then--fingers crossed--hopefully we'll hang onto the lead from there!
...
All that said... I still think the Vikings have pretty good chance of stealing this game.
Weird things happen when we play the Lions. (Orlovsky runs out of the end zone for the winning safety, Lions botching a game-tying extra point with seconds left.) Granted, most of those have occurred when we were decent and they were terrible, but still.
You are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteIt was quite a good call on my part. Although it wasn't necessarily as exaggerated as I thought it'd be.
ReplyDeleteThe main points I nailed, though.
