Minnesota Vikings Reading Article


Today I read an article by Drew Sharp on freep.com about the questionable call that was made against the Lions.  He talked about how the NFL should apologize to the Lions for the bad call on Sunday.  This wasn't like any other bad penalty call because this call resulted in a last-second field goal to beat the Lions 12-10.  As it clearly shows the lions defender (Leigh Bodden) didn't lay a finger on the receiver and the ball was clearly uncatchable.  This article also talks about how people are becoming concerned with many rash and questionable calls around the league.  The whole Lions team was very upset with this very questionable call and Bodden said this after Sundays game, “Don’t bother calling us with an apology,” Bodden said. “I don’t want to hear it. It won’t change anything. If they can’t call us and say that they’re giving us back a win that was taken away, then they shouldn’t even bother with it.”  It seems that the NFL has some major changes they need to make so this won't happen again.  GO LIONS!

I agree. That was a bad call. The Vikings should have lost that game.
