Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Vikings won. Jaj McCarthy played great in big moments,
and Kevin O'Connell called a great game for the most part.
It's a fudged up Friday, and I'm gonna tell you
where Kevin O'Connell fudged up. But first I need to
tell you about zero Res Carpet Cleaning because right now

(00:20):
they have a special carpet cleaning offer, three carpets only
one hundred and thirty nine dollars. Get your home ready
for the holidays with zero Res carpet cleaning and take
advantage of this special three carpets for one hundred and
thirty nine dollars special by telling them you heard about
it from the brawl with Tim Paul Zero Rev. Spillit

(00:44):
forwards are backwards. It spells the same. Kevin O'Connell dialed
up a great offensive game plan in jjon McCarthy's return.
It seemed like every play was being executed at a
very high level, and there weren't any offensive situations that

(01:05):
had you wondering what the heck was that besides one
The only reason Jaj McCarthy made a heroic throw is
because of a mistake by Kevin O'Connell. And here's what
the mistake was. On the Vikings second to last offensive possession,

(01:25):
Jordan Mason first down run with four minutes and twenty
six seconds left, the Vikings kill forty seconds off the clock.
Second down, Vikings throw McCarthy incomplete, clock stops end the
game with the touchdown sealed the deal with a throw.
I don't mind that, I like aggressive, but then there

(01:47):
comes a point where aggression becomes stupidity. Third down, it's
a designed run and McCarthy steps out of bounds. Clock
stops again. So now it's fourth and goal and will
Reiker kicks a field goal to go up double digits.
But the problem is the Lions were not forced to

(02:09):
burn any of their timeouts from second down to fourth down.
The Vikings only ate up thirteen seconds and preserved precious
time for the Lions to make a dramatic comeback. There
are no ifs ands or butts about it. Kavvin O'Connell

(02:30):
fudged up this series. And then the Lions score a
quick touchdown on a Jamison Williams push off that the
officials missed, which then forced the Vikings to get a
first down. If Jalen Naylor drops it or McCarthy throws

(02:50):
an inaccurate ball. We are looking at this game completely different,
and we are pointing the finger at Kevin O'Connell for
his time management mess up. I get that it didn't happen,
and I don't really like playing that if game. If
Naylor dropped it, if McCarthy threw a nicpley best, but

(03:10):
this particular situation could have really bit the Vikings in
the butt. This game goes to overtime if McCarthy didn't
fire a dart to Jalen Naylor, and if Naylor didn't
come down with that ball. If if it's good, JJ
McCarthy is a hero to Kevin O'Connell today because he

(03:34):
bailed his butt out because of his missteps, poor play
calls at the goal line to try to put the
game away after the Vikings kicked the field goal. The
situation should have been two things. They have one or
zero time outs left, or there's two minutes on the

(03:55):
clock left. Instead, they had three timeouts and three minutes
and thirty seconds to try to pull off a dramatic
comeback win. It was a fudge up by Kevin O'Connell.
