1. Akbar has word of the day toilet paper and it only says adversity on it.

2. Obvious corruption at this point with how bad the reffing is. It makes the NFL a lot less fun to follow. I love my Vikes but I'm tired of having to be pissed off about bad calls and no calls. Our players are more at risk of serious injury if it is open season on them.

3. Did these guys watch the game? The Vikings out-gained the Colts, 194-92, in the first half with 13 first downs. They held the ball for 20 minutes on offense. They didn’t “struggle”. Darnold turned the ball over, and their kicker was injured and missed multiple field goals. This game should have been a blowout.

   Edit: fixed the stats.

4. Y'all thought Joe was saving the colts. 😂😂😂

5. Anybody thinking AR would have played better doesn't know ball. Vikings are a top 3 defense. AR would have thrown 4 picks.

6. How can the refs miss two fouls in BTB games on Darnold? That pick was the result of him being illegally hit to the head.

7. If Trent Dilfer can win a sb so can Darnold

8. Richardson is learning nothing on bench.

9. Sam, threw away 3 passes. He missed JJ when his arm was hit. Complete 2 to the Colts and completed all his other passes. He should have thrown away the first interception and Addison was wide open on his second. Sam is playing well and I see no reason that he will greatly regress the second half of the season

10. COULDN'T HEAR A WORD. TOO DISTRACTED BY AKBAR'S SHIRT. I NEED IT!!!!

11. The media needs to stop with the derogatory comments about number 5 he's clearly obviously the better quarterback.

12. Peter. That is an ugly jacket…

13. Why is Peter wearing a heavy jacket indoors? 🤷‍♂️

14. Put richardson back in please #coltsnation

15. Vikings offense have switched from being a good 1st half team to a now good 2nd half team. Maybe they might find a way to be a good 4 qtrs. team.

16. They didn't watch the game. Lol Sam had a good game. Slow start no bid deal

17. Darnold moved the team in the first half. Looked worse than his pick because our stalwart kicker was hurt and missed 2 FG to make it scoreless. SKOL to the Bowl

18. Vikings in the most difficult division. People thought we would place last yet we are winning big against teams in the Playoff picture

19. If you reverse the missed call on roughing the passer. And make those two field goals. Even with the picks it would be 6-27. It’s a big swing. It was a statistical blowout.

20. Vikings finally got themselves a win to avoid losing 3 straight games

21. Colts are definitely not out of this

22. The score doesn't show how one sided it was. Vikings played very well. Just need to stop having so many turnovers

23. These guys are like refs blind to everything that doesn’t match their agenda

24. Vikings moved the ball all day on offense and the defense only gave up 6 points, cmon man

25. If Colts are not gifted 7 this game is a lot different even with the two picks. They won anyway and that is difference.

26. So obvious none of them watched the game😂

27. 💤 am Darnold.

28. So far as scheduling it’s ridiculous that we’re more than halfway through the season and the Bears have yet to play a single game against a Division opponent.

29. It's a team game. The turnovers weren't 100% on Darnold. His center got run over on that rough sack to the neck/ head. He was scrambling too often and making incredibly difficult throws while doing so.
    I love watching Sam play as a Viking. He's playing incredibly well with spotty protection.

30. The colts have been underratedly successful. They only narrowly lost each game, this 8 point loss is their largest of the season and it required a fraudulent defensive touchdown and an injured kicker. The Vikings dominated despite everything going wrong because their defense was entirely elite.

31. If Richardson was the one playing that Vikings D, it might've been even worse. Who knows…?

32. As a Colts fan, I have no words. This is the worst case scenario. You can’t bench Richardson, stunt any potential growth, and then have Flacco look bad. Now, they’ve already doubled down and said he will start again versus the Bills. Defense has been an issue, but they actually have a few decent games strung together. When your offense never reaches the red zone… yikes. I know Pittman is injured, and we are missing 2 good offensive lineman, but yikes.

33. The Colts having a season low in yards & points isn’t a revelation given that the only good defense they have faced so far was the Steelers, and the Vikings is arguably the best defense they have faced!

34. Those 2 picks were awful 😂 but he also dropped some dimes. Enough to win the game, SKOL

35. The biggest Takeaway was it wasn’t 33-0 at halftime😂 like 2022

36. GMFB…was Flacco that bad or were the Vikings D THAT good 🤔… the defense had some tight coverage and hard hits that disrupted many catches.

37. Flacco is still the best choice. MN just played some lights out D.

38. The Vikings didn’t really struggle offensively in the first half. They struggled finishing. Bad pick (should have thrown it away) bad missed call by the refs, and two drives were missed FGs by an injured kicker. So really, only the pick was Darnold’s drive to own. And his 2nd pick was forced and he should have gone to a wide open Addison.
    Can we talk about Darnold getting hit in the head while sliding against Detroit, pulled down by the face mask as the ref was looking straight at it against the Rams, and then getting hit and tackled by the head against the Colts, and none of it called? Every QB in the league should get the call in the last two games they were so egregious.
