Good God....
So lack of follow through after the ball is gone makes the ball sail that high?

Have to agree, the ball was gone before he got hit.

Just saw a full replay of the final play and WOOF Clemmings had a false start but it wasn't called. How do both of our tackles false start on two consecutive 2-pt attempts?

Or, offensive PI on Rudolph...

Substantive stuff. :lol:

For anyone who thinks Bradford missed the final throw because the ball was out before the hit...

It's basic football (and baseball and basketball).

Which brings me to why would you bring AD back at all?
God yes.

He's getting paid $11 million. If he's ready, he should play.

Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

The offensive line has been a disaster this year. Just plain lack of concentration. At least they are consistent.

You just proved his point. If it was a lack of a follow through then, yes, that can cause a ball to sail high. :lol:

And why Floyd wasn't IR'd MONTHS ago is beyond me. For a team desperate for healthy bodies why they kept this guy on the roster is beyond me.

That miss call took away a team held together by tape from tying a massive 10-1 team...

tough loss.
vikes have a solid team other than the weak link at the critical place.
-
however, i liked the way sam nutted up and moved around. it probably had to do with dallas having a crap pass rush.
but where has this effort been?
he calls the coaches out and the offense looks like a pro offense(almost)...but before that? holy crap!
what's going on in the heads of this coaching staff on offense?
it's like chili ball 2.0 except sam is not favre.

Don't worry we will get an apology from the NFL saying it was missed call. Then they wonder why viewer- ship is down

Vikings do have an "easy" schedule to end the season. What's 10-6 worth?
