Watching the second-half unfold, you could almost see this is the statement KO was making: I believe in my guys. And now he’s come out and said it. So now we all know. Good. So now it’s OK to run clock up big in the fourth. For the sake of our blood pressure. Pretty please with a cheesehead on top.
There was a combination of bad luck/unexpected outcomes here. A punt returner should *never* put his hands over his head and try to field a punt. That's 7 points. Strip sacks happen, but they aren't typical, and a sack keeps the clock running. That's another 7 points.
They all count, of course, but if Nailor just lets the ball go over his head (likely into the endzone), the game unfolds differently. Goodness knows asking Bradbury and the OGs to block Kenny Clark and Co rarely goes well.
The Green Bay Packers by all accounts are a quality team good coach good players on both sides of the ball. I would have not picked the Vikings to win this game before the season started. This is fun 4-0
Part of KOC’s belief in the team should also be that they can run it three maybe four times in a row. If they did it twice in a row the opponents would be so off guard that the third time would surely go for a touchdown.
So, lost in all the various craziness of the game seems to be a fun bit of schadenfreude.
Packers fans got to enjoy a vintage Kirk Cousins game without have to pay Kirk.
Dig an insurmountable hole with early mistakes. Check.
Compile a load of counting stats. Check.
Ultimately lose anyway. Check.
It feels pretty good.

Great point, he didn't turtle up and become afraid.

There are many things we can call KOC.... Zimmer clone is not one of them

I just watched the game at home, there’s a lot to unpack…back to you in the studios Matthew
