That's also what tends to happen when a defense allows 4 TDs on 4 consecutive drives in a half...

Like a tongue stuck to an icy metal pole

I blame this loss on defense. Tannehill passes for 400 yards and 4 tds. Like Laserman said could not stop a #### fly. Zimmer will be pi$$ed over this defensive performance.

[Laserman]

you can bet your house we will lose to the Bears, Just about done with this team

As to a previous question asked, "Why does the NFL continually cheat the Vikes?" or something like that. Hmm, the owners have no clout or no aggressive tongue.

...wisdom

I don't understand why but it is very clear to me that the NFL in general does not like the Vikings, it does everything they can to stop us from winning. we are by far the team most cheated on by the refs. We never get the calls, I mean NEVER yet the NFL's refs time after time after time allows the refs to cheat the vikes

They receiver bobbled that ball, so possession in the endzone was in question!

Pretty clear to me that they know Teddy is the future and have no playoff chances this year so losing this year is way more beneficial to next year than winning these meaningless games.

This was such a frustrating game. It seemed like we should have won even more so than last week. That 4 points from the no TD call did change the outcome of the game. At least our draft pick will be better but still hate to lose.

[Mothman]

... and.... choke.

Well, Demi will be happy. The Vikes are one loss closer to a higher draft pick.

The defense came up short late in the 4th quarter... again. The offense could do absolutely nothing with the game on the line at the end. Loeffler blew the snap and the Vikes remain winless against teams .500 or better and drop to 6-9.

They fought hard and made some great plays today but they squandered another opportunity. That's basically been the story for two years now. I don't think we'll be hearing anything close to a "moral victory" speech from Zimmer after this one. I'm guessing he'll be ticked... or just depressed.

It was an entertaining game!

[maembe]

This was the best game of teddys career. Unfortunately it was also the worst defensive performance of the season and the worst officiated game of the season

Are you suggesting Loeffler was intsructed to botch that snap and they threw the game?

[mossbutt]

If i rooted for this team to lose i wouldnt be as disappointed
