It is not looking good. I was hoping neither Nacua nor Kupp would play. 😂 Both are playing. I missed all the scoring. But our defense is not stopping them and getting penalties to keep their drives going.

Hopefully that injury to Darrisaw is not season-ending.

 

In 2016, the Vikings started 5-0. They went 3-8 the rest of the year and missed the playoffs. Hopefully that does not happen again.

Stafford is on fire tonight and his OL is protecting him surprisingly.

Refs really don’t call that face mask lol. Doubt Vikings were scoring but that was a terrible no call.

I am dumbfounded.  How did the refs not see that obvious face mask? 

We have witnessed so many no calls or phantom calls it makes me wonder what some of these refs actually see.

Verse out his hands on his helmet because he new he messed up too.

Vikings LT got injured tonight. He probably don’t play against colts. They are a different team without him.

Injuries play a huge role in winning or losing.  Especially for the rest of the season.  

Looks like the Colts get a couple of their starters back this week.  Much needed.

I said after last year's Browns game, REFS can dictate a game. Some in here refuted that and told me to stop whining, no anyone that believes the REFS can't dictate a game is naive. It still would have been long shot for the Vikings to go down and tie it, but the REFS didn't even give them chance. That was a clear face mask, and I don't want to hear that REFS miss calls, it happens. That was obvious, if they miss a call like that, they need step down. The REF was even looking right at it. That would have at least given the Vikings the ball at the 20 and a 1st down and still a minute 30 to go. With their WR's, who knows what could have happened.

Maybe nothing would have happened, but we don't know for sure. Interception, fumble, sack? Or Minnesota would have taken the ball in for a touchdown. We can only speculate.

Darrisaw is out for the season. That is terrible.

Did you see all the calls against the Vikings defense nearly every time they forced a first down. There was a phantom holding penalty called against one of the cornerbacks. There was nothing there. That was a brutal game as far as officiating goes.
