This was a horse shoe and hand grenade kind of game...
Kid was elusive
Obviously the Colts had more Luck that day. We pitter pattered for 3 quarters then turned it on. We had a valiant comeback to tie it up scoring two touchdowns in the last 6 minutes. Only to watch Luck make consecutive long completions with just 30 seconds left and set up Vinatieri for the game winner.
The first 3 quarters every Vikes fan was bored, listless, waiting for anything to get going. Our only offense was Percy Harvin. But these games are 4 quarters. We finally got productive and scored a couple. Though one was a lucky double tipped ball in the end zone.
If the game ended in the 3rd quarter there would be a lot of grumbling and bitching by Vike fans, and rightfully so, but I am glad our young offense showed some heart and a never say die attitude. All in all Ponder played well, no interceptions, efficient passing. We just didn't have a lot of options. Hat tip to the Colts defense for that. They also sacked Ponder 4 times. We only got Luck once i believe, on that huge 3rd and long play at the end of the game. We would have had 7 sacks against a QB who wasn't mobile. Oh well.
Another non sack
Over all you come from the game saying, "well, we're 1-1, and we won one we shouldn't have and lost one we shouldn't have" and it seems fair enough. We haven't played a complete game yet. And if you look around the league the list of 2-0 teams is quite odd. It would have been nice to steal another one but if we can start playing 4 quarters of solid football we will be OK.
