Great start for your offense tonight!

There may be 70 plus total points scored in this game

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.

[NFLfan]

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.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

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.

Actually really excited to see the colts play Houston now.. healthiest we been all season!!

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. 

[teganslaw]

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 fourth 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.

@2006Coltsbestever  In my last post, I wrote every time the Vikes defense "forced a first down". I meant fourth down. It seemed that every time the Vikes defense forced a fourth down, the refs would call a penalty. The Vikes lost the game but the refs helped the Rams.

The second quarter was ridiculous. It was like 4-5 straight drives between the two offenses with a slew of penalties. 
 

And then a non call to end it…

It was. Penalties make it hard to watch. Stoppage of play to hear refs call penalties every few minutes makes the game unwatchable.

 

That missed call at the end was ridiculous. It was the most obvious of all and it was not called.

No problem, I got what you were saying. It was noticeable.

It sucks when you feel cheated doesn't it. After our game with the Browns, I was so upset and fuming, I can't even describe it. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

There were a handful of people in here telling me, crap happens, REFS make mistakes. If any game looked rigged it was that one and guess what, in the long run it cost us a playoff spot. Crap happened alright; we got crapped on - had we won that game, we would've been a 7th seed. Texans still would've won the division because they had the tie breaker.

I hate it but it does seem to happen every game. What I don't like is when it favors some teams. The Cowboys, Pats, Packers, Rams and a few others (Steelers too) seem to get favorable calls while teams like the Lions seem not to.

 

Is JT playing this week? @RollerColt, @2006Coltsbestever
