And a win is a win, especially on the road vs a division rival. Make that 4/1 in the 4th qtr and game over. 

That was a murderers row of an early schedule on top of it. 

Get TJH back after the bye, I am pretty, pretty happy fan..

KOC 3 challenge wins
Sam I am 3 TD's
4 takeaways vs J. Love
We're now up two games on GB with arguably the toughest part of the schedule done and won
We'll be up two games on the Lions if Seattle wins
4/0 for the first time since 2016

And I wont mention our kicker for fear of jinxing him.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

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.

That's what I thought at the time.  However, kicking the FG insured the Pack could not get a touchdown, recover the onside kick and beat you with a FG.  That seemed so unlikely until they went through our defense like swiss cheese and that potential actually reared its head.

One game at a time.  One game at a time.  We started out 4-0 in 2016 and failed to make the playoffs with an 8-8 record.  Next up...ayahuasca boy and the Jets in London.

Nate Poole...

Ugh, was that a Tice team?

I just come back to the risk vs reward.  If we get the first, the Packers have no time outs and we can essentially run out the rest of the clock and win. We score a TD on that play, we're still up 2 scores. Game over.

If we don't get it, we're still up two scores (9 points) and the Packers need to drive 95 yds for a TD, recover an onside kick, AND get 20+ yds, AND make a long FG (which their kicker missed 2 FGs already) to win with no timeouts left.

I'm totally fine with the decision to go for it.

He's right...

Its a QB/Head Coach league now. 

I think I've seen enough of KOC now to feel comfortable saying very glad he was our hire.
