    What a barrage of points at the end! I loved the first half with the snow storm. All in all a entertaining game for me.

    Why is it if players or coaches screw up they get fined or suspended? Ref’s oh well?

    With the season being a bust I have to say the entertainment value has been very good as of late!

    The thing I appreciated the most is the players haven’t quit.

    We commented on that yesterday, playing hard and with emotion.

    Hard to imagine anyone that has achieved the level to play in the NFL wouldn’t still play for personal pride when everything else is in the tiolet

    It was a fun game to have on in the background. I was going to defend the refs, but when there is a replay, who has the final word, the on field crew chief?

    I am happy with the outcome, but not how it got there…. overlooking the obvious “no fumble” botched call… on the 2nd to the last TD drive, where it was 4th and 6 and they gained 5, right at the marker on the right sideline… when the ref ran the ball to the middle of the field, he set it down a yard and a half ahead… thus giving a 1st down ??? Even Tim Ryan was kinda like… wtf just happened ? They went on to score a TD on that drive. And then the whole Greenway interference…. my god, they did not throw the flag, until after they realized, the Vikings intercepted the throw… then the yellow hanky flew…. Joke. I know typical Vikings fan, blaming the refs, but really, why do we always seem to get 7uck3d ???

    Well we know Frazier is done. We know we are eliminated. Like they have been saying on KFAN for the last few weeks, that is exactly what you want to see as a Vikings fan. A close exciting game that doesn’t have you questioning why you even watch, while still losing and not affecting our draft position negatively.

    What do you expect? The Vike’s deserve it. Can’t grab a refs jersey and not expect a lot of retaliation. This is only the beginning IMO.

    Retribution is not professional. In fact, it might cost an official his job.

    Because one player does a boneheaded thing the entire team deserves to have officials sacrifice their integrity as a payback? I’m not buying it.

    The second dumbest game in Vikings history. The only good news is the Vikes got the right result and LOST.

    There would be nothing more stupid at this point than to win a game. I can’t believe how [censored] this organization is that they would risk winning and being cut out of prime QB picks in the next draft.

    This draft is going to see a prime crop of players. The Vikes cannot afford to be out in the cold on draft day simply for one brief feel-good moment. Lose, lose, lose and save the winning for draft day.

    I thought I have seen each and every way that my home team could possibly lose a football game,and then there was yesterday.

    It’s almost time to break out the paper grocery bags.

    Poor Adrian, they should trade him.

    I am talking about the obvious bad calls. The fumble that obviously wasn’t a fumble and the bad pass interference call?
