Hey, 4/0 is 4&0

[StickierBuns]

So after riding the roller coaster yesterday, I can say that although there was a letup, they still won. The Nailor muffed punt was so f-ing unnecessary and gross, it completely changed the dynamic of the game. There was no comeback without that. But it happened. I won't belabor the other things, I'll just hammer that one as it was the most egregious. The Vikings 3 straight turnovers, starting with that, opened the door wide open.

4-0 rocks.

Admit it...did ANYONE have the Vikings sitting at 4-0 after four weeks?
I think we would have been thrilled at 2-2.

I thought they'd be better than most thought. In fact, I took the 6.5 over/under and bumped it to 8.5 and put money on the longer odds for a bigger potential payout. BUT 4-0 was not on my radar given our early schedule. Vikings are without question one of the best teams in the NFL right now.

Yep, I'll give you credit MB....you said this could happen with Darnold leading a resurgence in his career. Not 4-0, but be much better than projected.

I wish they would of kicked the field goal late in the 4th quarter instead of going for it on 4th and 1 even if it was at the 4 yard line,

No, they were already up 9 (two scores) and if you get the first down, the game is OVER.  Going up 12 doesn't get you an advantage.  If we didn't get it, the Packers are pinned inside the 5 with no timeouts and have to score twice in two minutes to win.  You go for it 10/10 times in that situation.

Yep, it was the right to go for it, 100%. Just didn't love the sweep on a somewhat slippery field.

I was a bit surprised the KOC didn't challenge the spot.  It looked to me like he had the first down and they spotted the ball a half yard less, short of a first down by about 6".

Agree, would have rather tried to pound it up the middle.  Guessing we didn't sneak it because Darnold has the knee bruise, but we have The Hammer and Aaron Jones.

We were out of challenges at that point since we successfully challenged the maximum 3 times.  And you're right, it sure looked like we had it but no challenges left and it wasn't inside of 2 minutes for the automatic replay review on a change of possession.
