FINAL

Well, where to begin. We all saw the game. It started out slow with the Vikes having a hard time giving AP lots of lanes... the 3-4 Defense was pesky and effective for most of the first half. I know more then half my friends were getting antsy and sending me the "Childress sucks" texts.

I was more patient, but admittedly worried that we were gonna be anemic the whole game. That would not have been a nice way to start the season. Thankfully football games are four quarters - overall I grade us a "B" and I am very satisfied with our "product."

There are the obvious talking points, APs run, his total yards, Brett Favre's solid and unspectacular play, we gave up too many sacks, Percy Harvin had a great first game. He gets my game ball...

Fun to see Favre zip some passes too hard.. he still "has it." The receivers will adjust to his velocity and they will gel better on their routes... we saw a few where the WR zigged and Favre zagged etc. I am not worried. All things point to us being a Juggernaut. A "wear them down -break their spirit - step on their throat" kind of team. (yay!)

What else?? We gave up the punt return but i think it was more CRIBBS great skills then our bad execution. On the other ones we did solid. We also did pretty good in the penalty department and great in the turnover ration. Plus 2 will win us 90 percent of our games!

Here are a couple moments from the game that really set the tone for us and made it go from an uncomfortable nail biter full of angst and negativity to an easy victory and happy purple faces on all sides of the Chilly spectrum.

Huge momentum shifter!

A picture speaks 2000 yards er sumthin like that =p
