Man, I'm in heaven. After Monday nights contest with the Bay-Birdies ...
there is one unequivocal certainty ... this franchise can not only beat Wilson's
crew, but they can do it to any NFL team & do it convincingly.
Why? Because the belief in it is exploding. At this moment, you might be saying,
"Did we just
watch the same game" or "What planet are you on?" Just keep in mind that
Thielen didn't dress for that contest & "The Future is NYE". Another
little tidbit is that this Viking's offense can do the exact same thing to the
River-Bird's that they did to us ... but we don't need 6 offensive linemen to do
it. Keep in mind that Cook was strung & Mattison was never
unleashed.
Down 24 unanswered point, my immediate thoughts turned back to Teddy's final
year, where Teddy attempted several failed comebacks during the season, in each
case, needing only 3 points. Maybe his most heartbreaking effort was in
Denver, where on that final drive he coughed up the ball, thwarting his final
chance. As painful an experience that it was, his growth never stopped
where he led this team back versus these same vultures in the playoffs for that
final field goal attempt by Blair Walsh that ended in disaster. The story
being ... the wheel turns.
It's been refreshing to hear Vikings fans call in on NFL national broadcasts
pledging their unwavering support for Kirk Cousins ... as they are starting to
get it at a completely new level. Past records don't matter ... Statistics don't matter ... and
neither does a
1-game result matter. However, this result will go along way at swaying the
alternative fan base & all those franchises that think that we are firmly in their
rear view mirror ... which we are not. To be direct, when we were down by
17, giving up 24 unanswered points, when others were mired deep within the
remorse of their suds ... I was up & dancing around in the restaurant ... as
I could clearly see it. Why? It was because the River-Cock's were mocking my
beloved franchise. As any true Viking fan clearly understands ... you
never act in that manner because we always await for the other shoe ... TO DROP. It
begged the question ... "Are they (The Sea-Chick's) mocking
God?" Well ... in short order you got your answer ... to shaving the
lead to 3-points (whoops ... 4 points). How about that ...
The contrast that is out there, is at its crescendo ... from stout & firm
support of this franchise & everything that it stands for versus the
absolute never ending vitriol of the dreg ... to Zulgad. Maybe we're on to
something here?
Before you go running to the gate to signup Stefanski to the next head coaching
gig, you need to search real hard for his clear & concise mistakes. At
halftime, you have a 7 point lead on the road and what do we see. Kirk
Cousin's in the shotgun as if we are trying to run up the score on that very
good defense. Regardless of whether Dalvin Cook was out with injury, the
objective should have been to secure a heavy dose of run after run, screens & outlets with
Mattison, Boone & Abdullah to establish "The Unstoppable One".
We need to keep our eye on the objective ... the name of the game is play action passing. Was it any wonder the
inexperience of Stefanski's play calling resulted in 24 unanswered points.
Where was the heavy hand of Head Coach Mike Zimmer with his directive ... the
signal ... to impart & establish THE OBJECTIVE at all costs. FOR THEY
LACKED A LEADER ... It is a an absolute
mistake to think that the run-game is some sort of conservative approach, where the
"Wet-Back-Duckies" took what should have been our game plan after
halftime ... and rammed it down our throat ... being down by 7.
Now let me ask you, it's 3rd & 2, during that 24 point swing, & you see
our quarterback in the shot gun instead of under center. Hey, it's what
Tom Brady does. Are we cowards? Are we afraid to run the ball on 3rd
& two yards to go? Letter Kenny had no better saying ... "It's embarrassing (kick
the bucket)!" Cowardice & fear are the workings within
the dark side. Find the light ...
Head Coach Mike Zimmer clearly needs to awaken from the safe zone comfort of the
analytics. Your kickers are remarkable athletes ... but they are clearly
not in line. The punt in Kansas City that led to that final field goal,
& that final missed extra point clearly illustrate the point. You can
no longer rely on any kicker as the taint is palatable. It's not as if the
warning hadn't been
issued.
"The Tale: Within 3 months, 15 were dead within a 1 mile
radius ... of where I stood with my one & only resource. Lawlessness
was abound & apparent. On every occasion, I faced the fear of stepping
on tainted needles ... along with the thought that I might find myself in the
wrong place at the wrong time at any moment. My only thought was my
preservation for the continuity of my family. Then, the Lord spoke through
his surrogate ... as he had done many times before. Never immerse yourself
within dark side ... which is clearly where I was heading. Evil has to hide within the cracks of society where
Evil's power always pales in comparison to that within the light. Society never clearly
explains this fact, as it only muddles it, nor was it ever clearly understood
... until that very moment. Then I was instructed, "You do not need
to be there. You are there because you choose to be there (& it was
easy for you)." All arguments that ensued were futile. What
followed was to literally pick up tons of material & transport it, &
myself, to safety. Nothing existed ... it all had to be created from
nothing. With hindsight ... it was my own story of Noah's
Ark."
That final missed extra point was a choice. You did not have to kick
anything. You don't make it ... you have the same result (-4). You
convert it and you have a very different result (-2). Would that have
changed anything? Someday you'll take a page from "Digg's Miracle
Play" where he refused to allow another failed field goal attempt. or any
kick for that matter, &
instead made a decision that changed everything. Put your faith in the
blood & sweat of the bulk ... not in the tainted efforts of one. After
the moment of Blair Walsh's miss, was you first thought of the body of work
& efforts of the entire team? Did it add up?
Was there some sort of successful fake punt that should
have sealed the deal at that very moment? If the objective is to always
catch the punt, where the fair catch is assumed ... then the one & only
focus must be to foil any fake & this must be without question.
Is Xavier Rhodes the same pro-bowl caliber player? Well Coach Mike Zimmer,
does Xavier believe that he's the most feared defensive back on the planet, or
is he still reeling from your off season comments, in your disappointment in his
play. There's nothing like emasculating a man (removing his junk) in
public, for all the world to laugh & cavort, at his expense. It's ok
to do it on the field, when he can take a swipe at you when your out of line,
but not in public. Exactly what were you thinking? This wasn't some
sort of coward that Patton slapped. This is one of the proudest warriors
that his franchise has ever had, to face incredible injustices week after
week. It's has been incredibly easy to throw a flag on Xavier as compared
to just about any other DB in this league. Since his rookie campaign he's
been issued an inordinate amount of laundry with many of those calls being quite
questionable ... but again, they "gotsta" help A. A. Ron. If you
want Xavier back, he needs a very public apology from Head Coach Mike Zimmer
that starts with the words, "By the way, in regard to Xavier ... I was
wrong & he was right?" You don't need to explain it ... just be
sure that everyone knows that your faith in Xavier is unquestioned ... as
he's your guy. There is only one Xavier Rhodes & no one can do what he
does. After everything that happened, since your very public disaster,
Xavier's forced fumble at the end of the last game told me just everything that
I need to know about him. His stats & grades don't matter a lick to me
... in my mind he's Pro-Bowl talent & always will be Pro-Bowl talent ... and
when his mind is right again ... there will be nothing that stops
him.
God, hear this prayer. This Thielen Kid "worked it" from the
slime pits of the abyss, to share with us an incredible & unbelievable
tale. From the infinite, we've accepted any & all test thrown in our
path however, it is clear, that over time we've become intoxicated with the
thought of watching "Adam-Fly-Once-Again". In our minds, it has
opened the scientific experiment, that questions, "Does velocity defy
gravity?" Maybe, we just aren't deserving ... understanding your plan
to cease & desist can come at any moment, but maybe ... just maybe ... you'd
like to see it again too. There might be someone else more deserving, but
in the mass of dreg that is out there, it would be hard to find someone of Adam's
strength & character. We'll keep the miracles out there ... but maybe
just a little sun light on this dogs ass???
The Lord then awoke to the tears of injustice ... and
didst with his mighty outstretched hand ... Yea shall mock no more!@
