Da Dooooooo Da Doooo Da Doooooooo!
Purple Pride
Shaun hooked me up with some tickets to the game. When we arrived at our seats a man was there with his son and he offered us his seats a few rows closer, so we got to sit in row 7 in the end zone! We got to see when FITZ almost converted that 4th down by catching it with his head.
I am in this video still. haha. (take Crom at his word)
Here's another play that happened in our end zone, the Jared Allen sack. TV version, followed by my home made video.
Here's the video I happened to make as it happened! Sadly it was so loud my iphone couldn't do it justice. It was ear piercing though, compare the two.
It was a lot of fun being there and not having to listen to the dumb TV announcers. Every time McNabb threw a bad pass (a dozen times) he was booed IDK if you could hear it on tv or if the sound was even on at a bar. The biggest cheer came when McNabb completed a pass for a first down to Rooshmagoo.
Most of the Action was on the other side of the field so I didn't get to get any close up pics. However since we scored 4 TDs in the first quarter I got to learn the SKOL VIKINGS song real fast. I love that shit. "Rock em, sock em, fight fight fight"
V. I. K. I. N. G. S!
What an odd game eh?
UP 28 points in the first quarter, yet the fans were nervous until maybe 5 minutes left in the game haha. It was crickets in the 4th we were STILL up 21 and punting Jared Allen came on the field and pumped us all up. It gets tiring cheering on 3rd down, giving up a first, forcing another third down, giving up a first. I will give our D lots of credit though at the end of the day they allowed 10 points and held FITZ in check!
I heard in some interviews that we were double pressing their WRs right off the snap and forcing them out of their routes, it allowed the D line some extra steps to get sacks.
McNAbb... WTF?! We won this game in spite of him... I started out the season optimistic, hopeful, patient with him but now I am going nuts trying to figure out why he wasn't pulled. It's always been a pet peeve of mine leaving guys in when they're having a bad game. This isn't the NBA, you don't go 2-10 then get to go 6-8 in the last quarter. Possessions are not guaranteed in football! Throwing ground balls on first down is a quick 3 and out half the time. I say pull him out, it doesn't mean he lost his starting job, doesn't mean he can't make plays it just means that, THIS game, he hasn't and we need someone who can. WIN the game.
I don't know the motivation to keep him in- what is more important? McNabb's pride, Frazier's ego, or the team? (Sound familiar? people used to say the same thing about CHILLY and T Jack =)
Positives-
DEFENSE got after it. WOW Jared Allen and B Rob are tornados at both ends meeting at the quarter back trailer park! I also loved how SANFORD played. He got two picks, sure they were "right at him" but you know what? I've seen Winfield and Allen and many others drop those. Making plays is making plays. Props Sanford.
Loved not seeing Berrian in the game. Who needs him? Trade him, cut him. Better to have sure handed Jenkins and Camarillo and the blossoming Jizmadoo in there. You know what else I would do if I could? Trade SHANKS. He is still over valued I feel and i like Rudolph. Trade him for a WR or SAFETY or CORNER. Hell trade him for $ I don't care. ( Nothing personal)
Think I am playing? SHANKS hasn't done anything impressive except in Favre -Year 1. He talks a lot, A LOT, but he doesn't back it up on the field. Peep these stats..
9 catches in 5 games? SMH
We all know by now McNAbb is the starter for Chicago, Berrian will prolly be too. Maybe it's his last hurrah but I see it as a chance to prove to his former team that they were right not signing him haha. Will Scoobydoosh have a good game against HIS former team? I hope so. I like that guy he has a lot of upside. If he gets another TD I'll learn how to spell his name.
What else? I like our Gopher Punt Returner of for Sherels doe! Crom is also happy that AP is killing it this year... he is doing his JOB both on and off the field, I wish he was the team's leader not McNabb. Woulda been neat to see him and a rookie QB growing throughout the season. Couldn't have been worse then 1-4 and we would have an extra 5 Million to throw at another VET.
More later!
Here's another good vid on AP and the upcoming BEARS game. For those unaware they've just replaced both their starting safeties which could be good or bad for us. I tend to be scared of back up players cuz they always play with heart. Like our Sanford did!
He gets my game ball. Him and Shaun P the ticket fairy!
(Ps please enjoy the new song and vote in the poll up to the right =)
We gotta keep AP involved, make those short passes McNabb!
No three and outs!
