A few words about the "experts"

Yesterday's VIKES game, and as another example, the INDY - RAVENS game, are perfect reasons why you as a fan, or a fantasy football player, shouldn’t look at STATS or RECORDS and try to hypothesize.

(or the REDSKINS -ST LOUIS GAME!)

I get so tired of people who said "we were gonna blow the lions out", or who said the ravens DEFENSE would shut down INDY’s passing attack because the ravens are number 1 against the pass etc. or who were dumb enough to bet the spread in the redskins game.

why we were expected to win today...

We’re at home, we have a great rushing offense, the lions have the worst defense etc.


why we might lose...

we just came off a big win and might let down.
we had a "short week" yada yada blah bore snore

it’s allll bullshit

The lions defense played stellar today, they OWNED our offensive line.


PURPLE JESUS almost choked the game away for us, he gave back a potential 14 points by fumbling twice in scoring position, no one EXPECTED that.


DETROIT blocked a field goal, no one EXPECTED that.


DETROIT sacked us 5 times in the first half, no one expected that.


THE REFS GAVE us two really bad calls, the fumble that wasn’t a fumble, and more importantly, they bailed us out at the end with a phantom pass interference call. i couldn’t believe it.
and NO ONE expected that, right??


what’s my point here? why am i ranting?

BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T HAVE THESE DUMB EXPECTATIONS BASED ON USELESS STATS THEN YOU WON’T BE SO UPSET THAT WE WON A GAME IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.


i have not even read the other VIKINGS strings, no reason to, I'm sure it will be a lot of negativity, and that’s fine, we played like shit. but i don't want to hear about bad play calling, i don't even want to read it, or "why didn't chilly go for two instead of one to tie it 10 to 10.." i have no clue. i don't care.


I know we had over 300 yards passing and AP had over a 100 rushing and yet only one touchdown.. why?

AP fumbled twice at the tail end of scoring drives, Ryan Cook got called for holding when TAYLOR ran us to the 1 yard line. that’s 21 points.


I think watching pre game shows is a joke, i don't even bother, they’re wrong more then half the time about everything.. absolutely everything.


I feel sorry for people who didnt start peyton manning today because he was playing the "number one defense against the pass" today

and props to you guys who started berrian

save yourselves the headache of trying to figure out who is gonna win and lose, that’s why they play the games..

I am glad we won, great win.
it’s a W

Our defense made stops in the fourth quarter, like 3 three and outs in a row i think.
