Vikes score with 25 secs left, go for 2 for the tie, Bradford gets hit in the head and no flag.
 
Yep...same old bullshit. Won't stop until everyone stops watching this farce.
 
Well you see Bradford is a big strong QB and he can take a hit.....
 
I saw that. What a joke! The application of rules is a joke. Either apply them to everyone or don't have them.
 
Vikes fumbled the game away, they can blame themselves.
 
cowboys will be pampered on their way to SBs for a long while. Having those two rookies succeeding gives them the perfect marketing condition, add to it that they are "America's team"...
 
the Vikings could have won that game. it goes to show you that the cowboys are not that great of a team. we could certainly beat them in a rematch

Exspecialy if we have ALL our guys playing................... They aren't what their record shows.

The CFL tried to address this type of issue. There is replays for certain penalties including hit to the head of the QB. It made a pretty bad product even worse. Controversy by human error is frustrating but makes things worth talking about. Once it is all eliminated you might as well watch a simulation where the Pat's win every year cause their coaches is the smartest.
 
If the Cowboys or Patriots are in the Super Bowl, I won't be watching.
 
I just saw the replay. How do you miss, or not call, that?
 
What if the Cowboys are playing the Steelers? Are ya'll going to watch that bullshit?
 
If the vikes had half an offense they win that game, or don't fumble the punt, but that's still no excuse to miss an obvious call like that.
 
The NFL is so badly officiated, I am now bored by a major non-call costing a team a game in a marquee prime time matchup with the best team in the league. Like.. ok. What else is new

Cowboys remind me of a team back in 2004 who also had a rookie QB who went on to play in the AFCC.
Of course, that team being the Steelers. That being said, Cowboys have nowhere close the defense that we had back then.
I will say, Dak's play reminds me of Ben at that stage of his career. Cowboys are getting a lot of breaks in these games, it's only a matter of time until that runs out IMO.

I think this is the crack that will break the dam. Time for a change. A coach should be allowed to flag a non-call. Cost if he's wrong 2 times out. If he only has one, then one time out if he's wrong. If he used all times outs, sorry Charlie.

There was also an interception by Dallas called back. I saw no foul.
 
Definitely a terrible missed call. Not sure how all of the refs missed a head shot like that. At best it gave them a shot to tie the game. Minnesota self destructed in this game. They had Dallas beat and the fumbled punt return lost them the game. Good teams just seem to make those plays and win these kind of games.

Well not when you're playing another good team, NE needed a **** call by the refs in 2001 AFCCG to win.
 
They were lucky to even be in the game, with as bad as that O is. I was shocked they were able to drive for the TD at the end. But it was a foul. Ref said the left arm of the Cowboy prevented him from seeing the right arm go to the face.

One replay that ESPN showed was from field level and all you could see was the left arm hitting the shoulder, which is what the ref appeared to tell Bradford. I didn't see the position of the official, but there were certainly a number of places on the field where he wouldn't have been able to see the hit to the head. I actually do think the ref just didn't see it. It sucks for the Vikings, but they never would have been in that spot if not for a terrible false start by their right tackle on the initial two-point attempt.
 
The pass was also terrible he gave no one a shot at it. I also think the vikings false started on that play again. It was a bad missed call though.
On a side note, maybe the vikings should run up tempo no huddle more often.
