at "3 point game"If there's no bad call on Miller it's still a "7 point game" after the lost Rice TD. Time to let it go.

ThisGuess you didn't watch/read any media reports or Pre-games this week huhEveryone was questioning if this teams 6-0 was "real" or because of the schedule.
They proved today that they are a "true" 6-1.

Taylor SHOULDNT have been in there in the first place, thats on Childress. ADP jst got them down into scoring position and they take him out? Did you see how pumped he was after that play? And his reward is to have the ball taken out of his hands?

No one knows how this game turns out if the Vikes score a TD instead of the Steelers on that "tripping" call. There was 7 minutes left. Way too much time to think the game was "in the bag" if not for the refs.Enjoy a great game by both teams and get ready for next week..Favre vs. Packers.. Going to be a FUN Fun Week!!!!! Mr Capicollo

Throwing two redzone ints that are returned for TDs is a choke. As a vikings fan you should be familiar with this term but here is the definition just in case.

Phase of the Game

It was a great game and it appears the Vikings are for real. It will be fun to watch them go to Lambeau next week.

Wait!!! Favre threw TWO INT's that were returned for TD's??? REALLY?!?!?! Dam,, I must have drank a few too many as I SWEAR one of those was a great defensive fumble recovery..Throwing two redzone ints that are returned for TDs is a choke. As a vikings fan you should be familiar with this term but here is the definition just in case.
But me, the T.V. camreas, the announcers and those in this thread could be just mistaken..
for the info.

Lots of whining in here for a team that essentially threw the game away. Oh and for the record, I really don't like the Steelers.

Well if Mendy doesn't fumble it the Steelers go up to the same score. Look I can play that game too.
Psychopav
Help us, Joebi-Wan Brynobi, you're our only ho
Or even the Halas.Hey, maybe they'll name a trophy after Childress some day. Do they have any late hit out of bounds or roughing the ref title? Because after this game I'd say the Vike's D are the clear frontrunners.

First off, that was the worst reffed game of the season so far(that I've watched). Refs should hang their heads in shame after that crapfest. However, Minnesota had a great many chances to take that game and Pitt just kept making big defensive plays.
Also, that's a tough stadium to play in. Wow, the Pitt fans were ravenous today. Hats off to you guys, you did a hell of a lot for your team today.

That was my exact take too. That tripping call on Dugan was horse####, but the Favre fumble returned for a TD and then the bad luck bounce with Taylor deflecting it into the Steelers LB for a TD just is what it is. Funny to see all the Favre haters crawl out of the woodwork though who probably saw "Favre INT" roll up on their NFL.com ticker and just assumed Favre blew the game. That was more on Taylor than anything.Kudos to the Steelers! Hopefully we'll get another shot at you this year...or at least in 2010 in Metrodome.

Yeah Steelers fans forced the fumble and Chester Taylor to take his eyes off the ball. Man they are good.

I agree with you. The tripping call seems lame although I don't know what the rule is there. I would think there should be some intent required and there didn't appear to be any.Very fun game to watch despite the bad calls.

Without Winfield, without BB most of the game, Minnesota outplayed the Steelers today. Steelers and their refs get the W today, but Minnesota is the better team. Favre threw all over them, outplayed Ben today, our defense was better. A bad bad call changed the complexion of the game. Savior your win Steelers, Vikes are a better team.
I hope we play Pitt in the SB.

Maybe the Vikes should point the finger at the two guys who tried to pick up and run the Jerklisberger fumble instead of falling on it. Who knows what would've happened if they tried playing fundamental football instead of highlight football. Two guys, both with the first clean shots at the ball, they both try to scoop it and it goes out of bounds. That may have been a bad call but at full speed it's at least understandable that it could've been mistaken for tripping. Not nearly as egregious as some of you are making it sound.I just wish there was a way for both teams to lose this game.

Really? I'd like to see your statistical analysis or some type of proof that the only reason why the Steelers win games is because of the refs. All of the cool kids blame it on the refs ...

You are wasting your time. The Vikings know nothing about Lombardi or the trophy.They are just entering the Favre turnover season. It's all down hill from here, and the poor saps don't even realize it.

Refs missed very obvious holding call on Harvin's return for TD. Make up call.I also have to mention the BS call on Rice's catch forcing the Vikes to use their final challenge.Ha Vikes TD and an official gets run over.I know I will sound bitter here but that TD was a direct result of BS tripping call by refs. Steeler fans should be embarrassed by the regularity that they get all the cheap calls.Yes I bet on Minn

Just watched (game highlights - i guess that term depends upon your perspective) that Favre handoff to the Steelers - classic Bret.
