Vikings-Rams Official Wildcard Game Thread -Legohead Darnold Judgement Day

[L&HH]

Why not do that every time you're getting sacked if replay can't make it intentional grounding

Because it was called a fumble on the field and was only reviewed because it was a scoring play. If it wasn’t a TD then you’d have to throw a challenge flag. Also the refs will call intentional grounding more times than not.

I know by the letter of the rule that was a pass but come on stafford head is completely down looking at the ground while he being tackled and he just tossed the ball forward. There was no way on earth he was actually trying to pass the ball

Needs to be changed but this is the same sport who routinely let linemen carry running backs for 10 extra yards and then talk about how the running back "refused to go down"

And they pretend they actually want the game to be safer but letting plays that should be over linger on.

But just called a penalty on the Rams offensive linemen for playing on when the whistle wasn't blown

That makes no sense, what is 35 supposed to do

 

[yseJ]

that looked like running into the kicker more than roughing

Refs owed Minnesota that call.

Two costly personal foul penalties against the Rams.

I'm not a fan of that last call though. He was pushed in.

 

[the next guy]

rams need to stop with the dumb penalties

 

[Bleed The Freak]

For the folks that are old enough to remember

The Rams played the Vikings back in the early 2000s in the playoffs. I think it was Jeff George (POS but had a cannon) vs greatest show on turf.

Game was like 35-42. Was nuts. That Vikings team was the only team at in the playoffs that could hang with them offensively in the NFC

Great block by Nailor.

Ahkello I respect him staying in the league and even starting
