1) Roughing the kicker - by rule, it's not roughing the kicker if it's incidental contact, should've been running into the kicker
2) Jared Allen's Unnecessary roughness - Are you kidding me?
3) Holding - Neither side has gotten the calls that they should've.
4) That last "offensive pass interference" - Uncatchable ball from everything I saw...no one was even close.
The NFL just gets worse and worse every year.
1. blocked by his own player into the kicker.\
2. QB inbounds at the time of the hit.
3. Inconsistent calls.
4. At least defensive holding of PI, but not offensive PI.. defender cut off the route .
No. I'm saying the refs are the reason that we haven't scored for over a quarter and a half. And that's all about momentum. That series where the Colts ate up about half of the 3rd quarter specifically.
And forget you if you think it's "homerism." They don't even know the difference between running into the kicker and roughing the kicker. 2 different calls, 2 different penalties. HUGE difference in my book. I don't care what you think is the reason we're behind - I give a lot of it to the refs.

EXACTLY my point. And even if it was running into the kicker, and they got a 1st down (there wasn't really any contact from what I saw on the replay), it's a 5 yard penalty compared to the 15 yard penalty which they got.

No offense and I hate the replacement refs. But this is wrong. The Vikes haven't scored because the QB is ineffective and Harvin is their only passing weapon. Go Vikes!

I say release him. Can't run routes. Can't catch. Can't block. Can't do nothing. And he ain't even that fast.
And yet he still burned Winfield for the game winning TD in OT back in 2010. And to think.... THAT WAS THE YEAR WE WERE GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! WE WERE PLAYING FOR HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE IN THAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!
Woah. Don't talk about meatloaf like that. I loved meatloaf as a kid. Take that insult against meatloaf back! It isn't fair to compare meatloaf to Frazier and Musgrave.
How CAN you score when there's nothing but penalties that come out of nowhere. Yes, the offense has been ineffective to this point, but when your defense can't get off the field for over half of a quarter because of bull**** calls, what kind of rhythm can you expect to get in?
