The NFL *might* issue an apology later this week.

Stupid play call, almost Viking like.

FWIW, I liked the penalty on Barr. Would have been smarter on his own sideline, but still, I like seeing Stafford get his #### kicked. And Stafford shoudl have been flagged too.

Does that give Zimmer like a $20 gift card to Applebees?

I don't think it was a penalty... a runner is running out of bounds and gets a little help from behind... happens all the time. Not a penalty.

Bridgewater got tackled 3 yards out of bounds, no flag.

Agreed. If rather take a chance at a penalty and make Stafford pay than play soft.

AD stays in bounds, stiff arms ... holds onto the ball.

That series was so wierd.
The refs reset the ball with no measurement, when it looked like he wasn't even close to the 1st down.
I could see a auto first down set if it was 3rd down, but not 4th.
Then they snapped the ball for the next play with the clock stopped at 2 mins. It was stopped for like 3 seconds.

I will be very surprised if this isn't talked about, completely fishy by the refs.

Anyway good game! We Are 1-1 BABY!

500? 335 I believe. I'm sure PIttsburgh pulled some players and has been sitting in dime for the last quarter.

THis won't be talked about. It's the Vikings, not the Jets or Pats.
