Vikings have more points than offensive yards in first half

molarmite · 11-13-2005, 03:45 PM

And the sad thing is they only have 7 points. I have no idea what is wrong with this Vikings team. They now scored another special teams TD. So now I think it could be possible that they will win the game with more points than offensive yards. How sad is that?

Wow, amazing. The Giants give up a TD then its called back for pass interference and then The Vikings have 3rd and 41. What a big shift that drive had.

Another special teams TD for the Vikings. 21-13, 3 Vikings touchdowns none by the offense. This is a weird game if you ask me.

And Mike Tice claims that he tore his MCL and ACL.

Ya when he got tackled it did not look good. Did you see leg when it happened? It bent in ways I didn't think were possible.

Jonzard · 11-13-2005, 04:25 PM

Kick return, punt return, and INT return TDs

First time ever in NFL history.

What is even more sad than the Vikings is that the Giants are losing this game.

molarmite · 11-13-2005, 04:27 PM

Horrible call by the ref. The ball obviously went backwards so it doesn't matter that his arm went forward it was a backwards pass which is a fumble and should've been vikings ball.

magnet · 11-13-2005, 04:28 PM

Is it just me, or should we be stringing these refs up by their toenails? That pass by Eli Manning should have been a fumble, as it was not a forward pass. Do I have this rule wrong?

Eli's just having a really bad game. 3rd interception.

"Vikings are winning this game with defense and special teams."

First time that has ever been said.

molarmite · 11-13-2005, 04:36 PM

And who would've ever thought that the Vikings would be the first team to do that. When you think of Vikings what do you think of...Offense, Defense or Special Teams. Offense obviously.

Recently. But We've won more games that way than offensively.

molarmite · 11-13-2005, 04:39 PM

Ya this year. But in the past i dont even know how many years. We have relied on our offense.

magnet · 11-13-2005, 04:40 PM

only times I can think of the Vikes having a good defense was in the days of Chris Doleman and John Randle, and the Purple People Eaters

Tough angle to see, but it looked to me like he released the ball at the forty-six and it landed at the forty-five, which would make it a forward pass. I'm surprised they overturned it, though, because, unless they had a different camera angle on the IR camera than they showed on TV, I didn't see anything conclusive enough to overturn the call. His arm was clearly moving forward, though; it's just a matter of where the ball was released and where it landed.

And we were only an offensive power with Randy.

We have held the highest scoring team in the NFL to one TD. This is fun. Erasmus is looking good too.

The refs see the same angles we do on TV so I don't know what they saw that made them change.
