N/S TNF: Vikings vs Rams (11 Viewers)

[BayouSAINTJoe]

That face mask no call was junk. In a league where the goal is to protect the QB’s and you miss that? Right, keeping the Rams and the massive LA market interested trumps all other goals. Unbelievable but at least it happened to the Vikings.

Once you accept that its just "Sports Entertainment" it makes the suck that much more tolerable

Its about as insufferable as the people who pretend like injuries are the only reason. Can't wait to see what the excuse will be next year and the year after that.

You read a lot more into what I said than what's actually there.

But hey you said it, not me.

 

[Snakehead]

Hold up. You mean that a team that sucked for the last few weeks, gets it's top two WRs back from injury and now they beat one of the top teams in the NFL. Interesting.

The Vikings O Lineman that got hurt right before halftime - why were they even running a play? They were on their 3 yard line and there was about 15 seconds left in the half. Stupid coach got his player hurt.

I just realized that the Vikings could have FORCED the officials to review the infraction.
The rule currently on the books is that all scoring plays are reviewed. THAT WAS A SCORING PLAY!
The sack resulted in a 2 point score. They should have demanded that it be reviewed because it was indeed a scoring play.

I think it was reviewed because it was a scoring play. I don't think the rules allow for the after-the-fact calling of a facemask penalty. I could be wrong.

 

[Devildog]

I wanted the Vikings to win because fork everything about Los Angeles.

Oh well. The NFL is nothing more than the WWE.

 

[JBSaint]

So a missed facemask call in a Vikings primetime game happen - like history repeating itself but this time it screws them - oh well:

Even Bryon Young was hoping for a flag

Yep, the small market Vikes aren’t running away with it, and the giant market Rams are now back in the race. All it took was two or three NO calls. Where have we seen that before.

 

[Summed7]

I hate the Vikings

im very much thinking about reporting you for posting obscene content

Probably not. But at least the officials could have seen instantly that they really screwed up.

 

[Clintonrebel]

Karma. Glad somebody posted yesterday about the missed Bush face mask against the Vikes. Didn’t want Karma to forget.

Vikings fans are crying. It's glorious.

Vikings fans are crying. It's glorious.

I probably watched youtube Viking fan reactions to Brett Favre's NFCCG interception for 3-4 years after it happened. It was like a breath of fresh air.

ETA: No time like the present
