So, so, so, so . . . I don't think I understand . . .
As a life-long Vikings fan I don't know how to explain what I just saw. The entire game was completely according to the script that has been established through 57 years of Viking history. They proved they were a great team in the first half. There have been many great Viking teams. Then they managed to piss it all away. They had the Saints down to a 4th down and 10. But gave up a first. They gave up a blocked punt. That is so Vikings. Seriously, if you aren't a Vikings fan, you don't know. New ways to lose in excruciating fashion - it is the Viking way. The Vikings lose games by giving up plays like this. That is how they lose. Not win. I really don't understand what I just saw. But I saw it. I think. Are there illusions in football?
