I was very impressed with the pass rush until the fourth quarter, and disappointed in the way the line seemed to bend on the running game - things looked bottled up, but a running back would push the line and end up with five or six yards.
I don't think anyone here is seeing last night's win for more than what it was - a nice win that showed improvements in some areas (the offense's running game, getting turnovers) and problems in other areas (the defense's run bulwark being soft at times). And I think we acknowledge that the Vikings' injuries and Ponder's putrid play should not be forgotten.
But it was a win. We hope that this will help the team's confidence and understanding of the schemes as they travel to Miami.
But your refusal to allow for any joy or any hope at all can seem suffocating. Man, enjoy the moment.
