Skins11 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Make no mistake: The Vikings DID NOT choke against the Redskins. The Redskins beat them in ALL aspects of the game THROUGHOUT the game. The Vikings choked , whatever. At no point were they even in the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddyShoo Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 the bottom line is that the game only mattered to ESPN because of the playof implications of Minnesota losing (which mirrors last season).....so of course they're gonna focus on the Vikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the presentation of the game. It was presented as a game the Vikings let slip away instead of being presented as it should have been, the Vikings were outplayed and outhustled by a team playing for nothing but pride. This happened before in the Steelers game. It was Bettis this and Big Ben that and they made it look like a rout instead of the 1 score game until really late that it was.

skinsterp Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Originally posted by chiefhogskin48 It was pretty awful. I hate to jump the gun by claiming some sort of conspiracy, but man, they didn't even try to produce an accurate reflection of the game. Just a few idiotic sound bites by Stu Scott with a string of made-up words. :laugh: If he says, "takin' it to the hizzle" one more time, I'm gonna' puke!

Rocky21 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Berman said the Skins were a team long eliminated. (Actually Chris that was 7 days ago.) Why didn't they show the ST break up of the Randy Moss pass? A thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 i was surprised and hurt also. since tb, all our hightlights have been minimal or not shown. even when we win it looks like we were blown out. i disagree that the vikings choked. they actually were making some good plays, but our defense were preventing explosive plays/long drives.

Arsenic Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I missed the second half of the game; when I checked the highlights later in the evening to see if we won or not, it appeared to me at first glance that they beat us. Not one of our touchdowns was on the ESPN highlight real, and at the end of the segment they just kinda uttered "Oh, and the Redskins won". "But watch Randy Moss on this 3 yard catch" At the time the Vikings playoff hopes were uncertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
