Sorry Vikings, but you are a bad team. The Jags are horrible and the defense is not great against the run, but is worse against the pass. The Jags held the Vikings to 200 or so yards. The Jags gave it away quickly, if they hadn't, it would have been a closer game. Doesn't look good for the Vikings, looking like 1 and done if they make the playoffs.

The refs were horrible today. On the 2nd fumble it looked like Witherspoon was down, but the refs left it to replay and I don't think there was a good shot. There was a bad fair catch interference call, then the Jags didn't get the same call on a punt, luckily the Jags recovered it. Horrible PI calls and then the Jags didn't get 2 or 3 when it was obvious. It was close in the 3rd and the Jags had them stopped, but a bad PI gave them ball at the 1 or 2. It seemed like the refs decided there was no way the Jags were going to get a shot to comeback. Then I think the refs in the 4th quarter decided they needed to even it out since it didn't matter and threw some bad flags on the Vikings. The 4th quarter was a flag fest from the refs.

The NFL has to get rid of these guys and get full time employees who practice year round.

That was a fumble, but I do agree are passing is very bad, but what happen to your powerful running game?

3 OL gone for the year, 1 playing, but not fully recovered. Its there at times, but usually only against bad run defense teams.

Not bitter at all. Right now its actually better if the Jags lose, they get a better draft pick. The Vikings though, might win a bad division, but you know you won't be winning the Superbowl.

The refs were just plain horrible. I saw some of the game on TV last night after being there and there were a few times were the Jags were offsides but the refs somehow didn't see it. These guys shouldn't be allowed to ref another game. They will probably be praised though because if you look at the stats, they called a lot of penalties. Problem was that the game was over when they decided they better start paying attention.

I agree with you 90%, I agree that the Vikings have no shot at a Superbowl this year, I agree that we looked horrible again. I dont agree that the Refs were worst then Usual, I dont agree you only lost because of the Refs when the Jags havent done **** this year. We just came out and won it with our Running game and your offense of mistakes.

WTF: I quoted p_rushing but it put my post behind RandyMoss84????
