Windom, MN | Really good year for the Vikes honestly. 14-4 and only lost to 2 teams, the Lions and Rams.
Unfortunately, we played them back to back twice. I was hopeful that this second Rams game would go better, as the Vikes lost a hard fought game on Sunday in October and then had to play the Rams on a short week Thursday game. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and it appears the Vikes don't match up well with those teams. They had the personnel to exploit the Vikings weaknesses. The Vikings didn't adjust like I thought they would for the second game.
I thought that "incomplete pass" that wiped the TD off the board was a gut punch. LA came out fast, their city is burning and there was a lot of emotion. It was 10-0 quick. Vikes got a FG to make it 10-3, and if that TD stands and it's 10-10 it may have gone differently. They would have "weathered the storm" of emotions and may have settled them down some. No way of knowing for sure, but I do believe in momentum.
Pre-Season win total was at 6.5 wins...they more than doubled it. But as the season progresses expectations change. Wish I could have enjoyed the season a little longer, but hoping for another great season eventually. They'll take a step back next year, because that's what they do, but maybe in 3-5 years they can let me down again. | |
