I don't mind the 4th down call

If we punted the ball there and ended up losing the game by a score, the majority of threads here would be filled posts about Zac being gutless and how he should've went for it on fourth down, how were always be a bad team with weak coaches, etc.

Pick a lane. Most people wanted a coach that wasn't going to take his foot off the gas. We got it.

It's possible that they punt and it's returned for a TD.  Or the Vikings had an amazing drive.  Anything is possible.  But no way would I call Zac chicken if he'd punted it there.  No way would I have questioned what to me was a super obvious call given the situation as it was at that point in the game.  

And I don't like the argument at all that it was a morale/confidence booster.  The other side of that same coin is the disrespect he showed to his defense that had been showing up all day.  

At the end of the day, water under the bridge because they won.  Awesome to see the team as a whole playing better, some exciting plays, fans being back into it after last year's weirdness in the stadium.  My confidence in what the team can accomplish if given the chance has increased.  But my confidence in ZT has not grown at all and I still think he's the weak link.
