Had to turn off the sound......

I know, need to take off their kneepads...

But Russell doesn't get any respect or recognition.  Yeah. Right.

First quarter I mentioned to someone that if somehow the Seahawks lose, the announcers might cry real tears for Wilson

He has been a leader all game.  Fuck that.  

Because he has a mic on stupid.  

Having to listen to a miced up opponents QB the whole game was shameful. ESPN sucks!

I can't count the number of times I said, no shouted, ok screamed "Shut Up Russell"

Clear eyes, clear heart, clear eyes
Hey 3 2!
Let's go!
Keep it up!
I see you!

Shut up Russell!

Literally every "side piece" was about Wilson and how he inspires his players or his highlights. Kirk didn't have his best game but was capable but exactly 0 highlights about him or what he did. Much the less Rudy who was up for player of the year and made a fantastic one-hander.  It was like watching a packer game with a much more neon green.

I personally loved all his inspirational utterings during the game being mic'd up.  You know...

"Yeah!" 
"Woo hoo!" 
"Alright!"
"Way to go!"

They could have pulled two Seattle fans from the stands to announce the game and it would have been the same experience.

Also, if Kirk had a bad game perhaps I could understand all of the references to him not winning on MNF. But that wasn't the case, so the constant references were pretty ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

I don't understand how ESPN can allow a narrative to be so blatantly biased. Booger is a dumb shit.

"Booger" is just terrible. At a dinner party, he's the guy you wouldn't turn your head to pay attention to, but who you'd wrinkle your face at in disappointment. So he's perfect for what MNF wants. 

Compare the two long touchdown passes.  The Seattle touchdown looks like a blown coverage but if you watch the Vikings touchdown, Cousins looked off the safety and used a luttle shoulder shrug to get Treadwell wide open.  It was excellent QBing.

I was at a bar watching the game and there was a bunch of hags also there---just before half time I told them the announcers sure must have long arms cause the've been stroking wilson the whole game.

guess I am glad I was at the bar and couldn't hear the announcers.  Or wilson.

ESPN was actually pretty complimentary after the loss. They've decided to crown the Hags as the best in the NFC and were quick to point out that the Vikings didn't wilt after that awful 3rd Quarter. Guys are starting to say things like Cousins is 'changing the narrative' and wondering just how good the Offense would be with a healthy Thielen back. 

The consensus seems to be that Minnesota is the best of that 2nd Tier that includes GB and Dallas, and that the 1st Tier teams (SEA, SF, NO) would all have a serious challenge hosting them in the Playoffs.
