Thrilla in Metrodilla!

That just happened. I haven't seen an end to a game like that since mccown rolled out and nailed us in the desert years ago. 'Ol Brent Favre wings the ball to the most unlikely of heros in the endzone with 2 seconds left. Greg Lewis' foot less than a fricken centimeter away from being out of bounds. Vikes win.

In the Chilly regime years we really haven't had the privelage to see a comeback quite like that. To watch a salty veteran who still has some zip on the ball lead us down from improbable odds to win the game in the marquee matchup of the week between the two hot and undefeated NFC teams. To be honest... i thought the 'queens were gonna win with just a little more ease than that... but when it boils down to it... we get that Dubblya at the end of the day. And hopefully those close wins can help bring this team from 10-6/11-5 to maybe even 12-4 by the end of the year and help us garner better positioning in the post season.

And how about our defense. NO THIRD DOWN CONVERSIONS. Jared Allen sack/FF on first play. Mostly stalwart against the run all day. Some nice phatty hitz. And had it not been for the niners blocking and running the field goal back we would have won handily. But again, another game where the offense has some very in-opportune 3 and outs and puts our defense in some sad situations and they bail out this team. Time and again it has happened and I am just thankful to be watching such a studly unit.

Again, what a drive at the end, what poise, and it is nice to know we have someone back there who doesn't have the deer-in-the-headlights look when sh!t starts getting crazy.

3-0 and going into a much anticipated monday night game. I would say that if the vikings were a mullet, at this point they have let the mane start to flow in the back, and definitely trimmed up the "bidness" in the front to keep it nice, high and tight. They just gotta keep letting the mullet floweth and the wins will come.
