I tend to agree, but honestly I also get why it wasn't overturned. Replays weren't 100% solid. Vikings had too many penalties.
this “excuse” that replays were not valid is very annoying. its a cop out (note this is not geared towards you but the NFL). if something is not conclusive the down should be replayed.You cant say something is not conclusive then go with the call that caused the review in the first place.
The review is done because they want to verify that the right call was done. If more than 4 people review something using many views and angles and cant determine that the call was definitive, the down should be replayed. The initial call can not and should not be the fall back outcome. lets not talk about the timeouts being lost by challanging something the referees should have got right.
This is not a vote for Zimmer and co for I have said time without number that the game has passed him by. His philosophy is archiac

If there was ever a master of misleading stat sheets, it's KC
On paper looks like a hell of a game, my eyes saw pure mediocrity with mostly shit sprinkled around some good throws.
Cousins had them 1st down inside the Bengal 40 and then Dalvin fumbled and the defense choked the game away. Not saying Kirk was great, but he and the receivers had the Vikings in position to win and Dalvin and the defense snatched defeat from it.
Fans don't want to hear that. The game is 60 minutes long....and sometimes longer. Cook doesn't fumble and Minnesota gets at least a shot and Joseph nailed a 53 yarder earlier. Cousins wasn't the problem....he wasn't perfect but he wasn't the reason they lost.

Cousins/Thielen/Cook and a little bit of Jet kept em in the game.Pierce had a nice game too.
Bengals made a nice call at the end of the game on the 3 and inches. Woods got beat bad. Wonder what the Vikings would have called there????
Just saying.
KJ Osborne and Mike Pierce looked really good.
Hill and Bradbury looked really bad.
We all waited 6 months just for the team to show up, play super sloppy, and lose to the Bengals. Sad.
At some point, the Vikings are going to have to admit in what they have in Bradbury.

Did you watch this game? Of all the things to call out. Jfc.
what happened to all the $hitty Cicinnati D-backs i heard about all week?

Well, I thought they pretty much looked like a team that skipped preseason. No excuses for this ill prepared team, it’s the definition of Vikings insanity…!

DJ Reader is 6'3 347....
IT was going to be a matter of how much Bradbury struggled.

Yep, MB mentioned this earlier as well. Tough matchup. But this happens to Bradbury more often than I think the team is liking. Reader is going to make come centers look bad.

Vikings lining-up big bodies like Pierce and Tomlinson is ALMOST the norm these days...I think you posted a similar take earlier this week..

The thing I can't stand is when the ref calls the play a specific way that's against their instincts because it allows the play to be reviewed, and then the camera angles suck, so they get the call wrong because it can't be overturned. With replay, they should be allowed to change anything to make it right, so they can call it the best they can the first time round.
If Cincy hadn't went for it on 4th down in their own end it probably would have been worse.

After how bad Bradbury was yesterday, I am honestly not sure if he's better than Davis. I would like to see with my own eyes. Also, we need Darrisaw to get healthy because Rashod Hill gave me nightmares of Samia/Dozier out there
This was one of the more winnable games on the schedule, so it is concerning.
