The Frozen Tears of Minnesota
I wonder if I’m the first person in history to ever draw a person committing Seppuku with their own tears.
Deep down we all knew it was going to miss, didn’t we? That kick had shank written all over it. Walsh makes three field goals from far away and is given a chip shot chance to win the game, of course he’s going to shank it. I knew it would happen when the Vikings got the ball on the final drive (this tweet was made right after the first play of the drive, watch the replies go from haha yeah that would be funny to HOLY CRAP YOU KNOW THE FUTURE?). I like patting myself on the back but that you could smell that shank from miles away. I feel terrible for poor Blair Walsh. He was the only reason the Vikings were even in the game, and I’m sure that ball was miserably hard to kick in that cold.
Just another game in the long line of Vikings playoff heartbreak. Honestly it sucked but people are ranking it so high among playoff heartbreaks already (It was a wildcard loss for heaven’s sake) when a more heartbreaking loss happened just the previous day. What happened with the Bengals was worse than this, and while the loss hurts, I think Vikings fans have a lot to feel positive about. They have a young team, a great coach, a fresh new QB, a stellar defense, an ageless running back and they won the division when nobody really expected them to do that much. This team is on the right path. They need to get an offensive line to protect Teddy and they might be championship caliber.
Seattle is going to beat Carolina. Calling it now. Seattle has bullshit powers and Carolina had to mount an epic comeback on them earlier this year, and that was when the Seahawks were the bad Seahawks. I swear to god if we get another Patriots/Seahawks super bowl I’m going to cry.
Also I made a variation on this comic idea for Bleacher Report yesterday. Sometimes you can’t decide on a punchline so you do both.
Discussion (29) ¬
I’m pretty sure the Pats are gonna get dunked on by the Chiefs. As a Broncos fan KC is the only AFC team I’m scared of right now (this is more a lack of confidence in the AFC group than confidence in my team). Certainly not Tom “back into the playoffs after dropping two to teams that aren’t even in it also did I mention the Dolphins hurt my ankle” Brady.
I feel pretty bad for Walsh; without him the Vikings put up a fat 0 on the scoreboard, and yet people will only remember him as the guy that choked. Feels bad.
Brady is fine. Also the team is finally healthy. Edelman back is a huge boost Lafell won’t be our top receiver. The defense will be healthy along with Vollmer back for the O-Line. Also the Chiefs won’t have Maclin so as long as we can shut down Kelce we will be good. The defense is scary but I don’t it get to Brady if he gets the quick release off to Edelman. I think the Pats will win.
Yea but what about the Bronocos. I wanna see my Pats back in it, but i dunno. Something has shennanigans written all over it.
The interesting thing about my Chiefs is that no one knows much about them. Most people think you just take Maclin out of the game and they’re dead in the water. They forget that Kelce the TE has the same physical measurments as Gronk. The RBs have averaged well over 4yds/carry and Alex Smith is the 4th best running QB this season. He averages 5.9yds/ carry this season. In the post season he holds nothing back, hes a very dangerous player.
Belicheck even said it’s almost impossible to game plan for a team that hasn’t lost in 11 weeks. This should be a very interesting game to say the least.
Fair points, but the Pats are excellent 1) stopping tight ends and 2) removing your best player on offense. If we add a much improved defensive line vs an average O-line and Donte Hightower gapping runs, this game becomes New England’s to lose.
If you go by teams that Belichick has complimented, though, you’d be saying 95% of the NFL can beat the Pats. He says good things about almost every team we face. Even the Jets, and he HATES the Jets.
From the way that I (A Pats fan) am looking at things, KC’s defense and NE’s offence might wind up cancelling each other out, and this game will wind up hinging on the the Pats defense’s ability to work under pressure. Going up against a team that’s been near flawless for so long is a challenge, yeah. But Bill is our evil genius for a reason.
Hey, what happened here idiot?
Classy as always, Pats fan.
I’ve only been cheering for the Vikings for a couple of years, and it already feels too similar to cheering for the (Edmonton) Oilers…
Panthers will win because we have to. Seahawks have bullshit power but it has to run out at some point. (If we do lose this game I don’t know how I will be able to reintegrate into society) I drove down to Jacksonville for that first game this season I don’t want the last game of this season to be the same as last years but at home.
This might be the most nsfw comic since the JDan Snyder one
Go back and check the hold on that FG. Laces were totally in and i think that scares kickers. They’re all about repetition and if you catch them off guard with laces showing you pull them out of it.
He hit one from further out with the laces facing him. If it was a Hollywood movie they foreshadowed it to make it more heartbreaking. Like there would be a scene where the kicker says he got lucky about the laces.
Somewhere, Chris Kluwe is shaking his head with a smirk. The snap, hold, and kick were all botched. Locke and McDermott are to blame as well.
When Seattle was down 9-0, I thought there was no way. No way that Seattle doesn’t come out with some bullshit win. I was thinking an officiating mistake, but maybe that’s for next week
I was thinking the same thing. Locke and Kluwe are statistically similar in their punting abilities, but Kluwe never blew two holds in a game like that. Say what you will, but he was a great holder. That is a totally underrated ability.
I’m amazed that there’s no comic on the absolute sh*tshow that was Bengals-Steelers.
I think expecting Dave to come up with a comic more farcical than what actually happened is a bit much.
And thus continues Seattle’s trend of “soul crushing” miraculous skin-of-the-teeth victories against NFC playoff teams. To quote a Cowboys fan from reddit “They can’t keep getting away with this!” But we can… and we will…
I was pretty sure that you were going to have the fan stab Walsh with that tear spear. Poor guy is getting so much unnecessary hate from that fanbase. 🙁
So… does the Seahawks losing the Super Bowl on “Bullshit!” negate their powers, or does it reinforce them because it was the Pats and their dark powers were clearly at battle with whatever dark powers the Seahawks have tapped into?
Both
So, Los Angeles.
Still doesn’t deserve a team. Let alone two.
That shank made me happier then super bowl 48.
The game was a double edged sword. No one thought they would win, let alone make a close game. The Seahawks may have won, but only by a Prryhic victory. If a team that was considered average could do that to them, imagine Carolina. Seattle now has a larger obstacle than a team that almost pulled off an upset worthy of the 87 season that saw the Vikes beat the Niners. I’m proud of them for fighting that well, but sad they didn’t win.
Anyone else wondering why the V on the hat looks like half of the Virgina Tech logo?
And now we need a new jar for the 2017 season.
