I wish the sprinklers would go off at soldier. This game needs to liven up. A big cutler hit would be neat.

That was a 10 pt. swing on that reversal.

I want to see the "Indisputable visual evidence" that overruled the ruling on the field and the initial review of the ruling being confirmed.

Fox never showed when the ball actually came out, just when it was on a vikings player. We just get effed over every time. No breaks. And teams like the Packers always (cept the one this year everyone makes such a big deal about) get the good breaks.

Huge ten point swing there. There was a time when indisputable visual evidence meant just that. Sadly no more. Time for QB Ponder to come up big. Go Vikes!

That was obviously the right call. His knee was definitely down and the ball didn't come out until later when he was bent backwards, which you can tell from a different angle. Also, they explained that the official upstairs can change their mind and request a review anytime before the next snap.

Really odd call. Clearly, his knees hit the ground, but it was impossible to see when the ball came out from any angle they showed on TV. My understanding is the ruling on the field stands unless there is clear evidence showing that is wrong. So I don't understand how they can overturn it unless there was an angle we didn't see that showed Forte was down and the ball hadn't started to come out.
