Vikings/Steelers Fourth Quarter Thread

Email
PrintThe Vikings and Steelers exchanged field goals again in the second half, so we head to the final stanza with the Steelers still ahead by 3 points, 13-10.
Still completely disappointed by the Vikings' play-calling on 1st and goal from the 1, but can't worry about that now.
Can the Vikings stay undefeated? We'll know in about 15 minutes.

Thank you, Mendenhall
Did he really think he was going to dive five full yards into the end zone?
Vikings ball inside their own 5.

What a stupid play by Mendenhall!!!
What’s he doing diving there, it’s not like it was for the goal line, it was from the 5 to the 4!!
Lower Deck Tickets on 50 yard line behind Vikings bench = $119.00
Parking by the Metrodome = $25.00
Souvenir Soda = $6.50
Being there for 296 = Priceless
see that was the plan all along
let them get deep in our territory, let him leap and then get the fumble. perfectly planned and executed.
the ever popular douche-dive

only defensive delay that i know
is either kicking a ball away from the refs or being slow running to the new line of scrimmage after a long play

refs did not turn over ball twice in red zone
even with bad tripping call, you have to play on obviously
Refs led to one of the turnovers.
Cuz tht was a touchdown… which would have given the vikings a 17-14 lead.
yes but you have to play through those blown calls
not much else you can do, right? No fumble then perhaps Vikes go up? I get your point but no sense in arguing about it. It is what it is.
Wouldn't have had a chance to turn over the ball

Running their asses off on that last return for a td by the steelers made me proud. As a former lineman, I know how difficult it is to block 400 pounders and run 80 yards the other way. Same goes for Favre not giving up.
Skol Vikings!!
Great game, guys
The Vikes are Super Bowl material for sure, but everyone gets unlucky sometimes. The Steelers D was due for a few key turnovers, anyway.

There were some questionable calls against Pittsburgh, too

Before you get piled on...
…good game. Thanks for a productive comment. I do think you guys got the breaks this game, but we have been getting them all year. So it goes.
I agree
but as a former ref I didn’t try to make iffy calls when the game is closing and it is close. Sure, You could have stopped it but I would rather see that then a game changing penalty that sucked

Way too many of them, that was just CT’s turn….

Good game guys
Truth is we all know we outplayed them but came up a little short. So much for the “we haven’t played anyone”. We have proven we can not only play, but outplay any team out there on any given day.

He made a good point, the Steelers needed that one WAY more than the Vikes did.

Think how the Vikes feel
That’s as good a motivation as any to move forward. No one thought we’d go 16-0. The Steelers did NEED that one more, but it will motivate us more!
They did, agreed
But Vikes fans are too classy to whine longer than about a half hour after gametime. It’s approaching the limit!
@#&$%^*& ZEBRAS!!!!!
Sure wondering how much supplemental income the zebras got on this game. The FICTITIOUS calls were the difference in this game! I’ll give the Steelers credit for the way they they handled the turnover opportunities, but the opportunities were there because of the truly shitty calls that forced the Vikes to try to come from behind. I confess to sour grapes; but believe the feeling is justified. The zebras stole this game from my Vikings!
Trippin and Delay of Game on the DEFENSE!
I hardly ever complain about refs callin bad plays. That Rice catch made us waste a timeout, Dugan blockin his man and the ref called tripping, and supposedly the Vikings d delayed the game. I am extremely angry. BUT through all that we barely lost this game.
Somehing to hang ur head on is that with the most penalized game by the Vikings, we palyed away, we put up with the Refs BS calls, and a statistical anomoly of having 2 turn overs returned for TD’s, WE STILL were in a great position to win this thing.
Skol Vikings!!
Funny thing is no matter how anyone looks at it Vikings had that game but 2 bad plays will cost it. Depressing now we gotta face the packers next week if we lost the division is just to close ahh this is not good.
"If at first you don't succeed - Skydiving isn't for you"
Enough of the "should have" and "ifs"
Sure the refs were idiots. Vikes blew this game. Give up late TD in Q2. Turnovers at key moments.
tough loss
but a great game and almost went into pittsburgh and won. Favre played pretty well but the fumble 6 and int 6 is unacceptable. Lets hope we can play better in Green Bay and get to the by with 1 loss.
JT
You didn't see
the ball knocked out of his hand on the fumble as he was rebringing his arm up to throw
Steelers turn to get a questionable win
And everyone in the NFL knows it.
Usually they look at us and say, “Well, that team wasn’t that good” or “that team had their best players hurt”… well, this time it’s on the other foot. And no one can dog the Vikings for not being legit now, we have what it takes and if were going to lose any game this regular season, THIS was the game to lose. Against the NFL Super Bowl Champs.
The season ain’t over til we meet the Steelers again…. in Miami, this February, to dispute the conclusion.

but we coulda had THIS one!

Sucks when the Ref decideds a game
Yes, I’m standing by my subject line. If the effing ref makes the right call, we score a TD and get in the lead rather than have a BS fumble returned for a TD.
Disappointed by both turnovers in that no one seemed to want to tackle the fat f&cks who were running the ball back. We had this team beat, plain and simple, our offense looked FAR better than theirs the whole game and a dipshit Ref ruins what was a great game.
Penalties didn’t help us and yeah, we still did have the INT at the end but even that was pretty fluky. Guess our luck ran out this time.
At least we know we can beat a strong team away at their place. We should beat the Packers again but who knows with Winfield out. :(
Play Calling
For all fans who hated the Vikes for not calling a pass play at the end of the game I guess we can now understand how bad things can happen when a team throws a pass.
I’m not against the play called but I sure understand why a run play was called with the lead last week.
All in all this game shows we are truly contenders in the big race. Lets get Green Bay.
And we
I’m not against the play called but I sure understand why a run play was called with the lead last week
were fortunate enough to avoid the loss by being too careful- what difference is there other than a catchable ball was dropped for an interception?
Thanks, as always, to the Vikings, and the DN, and my brothers in the Sandbox!
Good night.

For the record, a non-conference road loss is the least damaging in terms of conference standings
At any rate, I gained a ton of repect for Favre today. He’s amazing for a 40-year old!

The Steelers had back-to-back devastating losses to Chicago and Cinci, and now they've won 4 straight
The Vikings seem to be a mentally tough team, and I expect them to bounce back bigtime next week.

14 point turnaround on ref calls cost Vikes game...period
there is nothing else to say…..the tripping call cost the Vikes 7 points which in turn gave the Steelers 7 and changed ther perplextion of the game regardless of that last INT for a TD…im a fan of the Vikes but a realist first and some of the calls today were beyond fishy even friends of mine who arent Vikes fans agreed
I didn't see us winning this game
I thought we played a great game, we had the ball pretty much the whole game
Just sucks we didn’t get more points
We’ll take it out on Green Bay next
going all out before the bye
then Detroit at home after that
I see us bouncing back really quickly

Yup,
kinda the reverse of a few of the games earlier this year where we lost on paper
I sort of like Ocho...
…in a watching a train wreck sort of way
can we lobby for stricter rules
like ed hochuli, these damn refs lost us the game. i want to see some action
the Bears suck.
I think I hate the Bears more than the Packers… always have.

Chester Taylor
I know his tip drill hurt Chester to the core of his soul. Just by the look of him I can tell he is deeply regretful and sorry. As one man to another, thats all u can ask for. He is a veteran, this will motivate him.
Skol Vikings!!
Just to put it all out there.
Vikes fix these, we pound the Steelers:
-Score TD’s in the Red Zone: Especially against a stout Steelers D. We had the ball at the 1 yrd line, only one play went to AP (horrible play calling) we only come away with 3 pts.
-Penalties: Especially on the road. A lot of the were drive killers. We gained momentum at the end of the game, by then it was too late.
-Field Position: Chad Kluwe had forgot how to punt in the 1st qtr. 1st punt 35 yrds, 2nd punt 19 yards 3rd 32 yrds. Our defense minimixed the damage. Keeping this game close.
-Run the ball to set up the Pass and run it down their throats. Too many times AP lost yardage trying to get to the outside, that only works later in the game when the opponents Defense is tired. In short: Run it north and south.
-Work on the Screen Passes: Against an aggressive defense it works beautifully, Chilly didnt call it. Late in the game, it cost us (Taylors tip drill).
Skol Vikings!!
AP lost...

yards up the middle or got none as well. it was running to the right that opened it up most of the time. that prescription is classic losing footbal for the Vikes.
This is awesome
The Bears defense is looking awful
