Some people say that Matt Ryan is worthy of making the Hall of Fame, but I encourage those people to think again. He blew a 17-point lead in the NFC championship game, a 25-point lead in the Super Bowl, and an unprecedented 33-point lead to Minnesota, among others. When it was crunch time and his team needed a big defensive stop, he played awful defense. He was truly the worst defender of all time and that’s why it would be an insult for him to get even one Hall of Fame vote.

I remember watching this and knowing it was over at halftime and I was so happy the colts were finally winning a game.

I was watching that game live and I was sure they were gonna win after the 2nd touchdown, until they missed the 4th and 15, I thought then the colts were just gonna run the clock out but I thought wrong. As a Vikings fan, this was one of the most enjoyable games to watch that I’ve seen and a part of me thinks that they threw the first half just so they could make a record for best 2nd half comeback ever. It would’ve been hilarious though if they went into overtime and the colts just got a touchdown and won

2022 was a hilarious season for the Vikings, the FRAUD conversation popped up pretty much every week since they'd win a bunch of close games and then get blown out whenever they played a good team. Like yeah the 33 point comeback is cool but the Colts were practically tanking while the Vikings were in contention for the top seed in the NFC.

[@Great_Scott_GorDun]

The Vikings getting one and done'd by the Giants was the perfect ending for their fraudulent season. The atrocious defense giving up over 400 yards of offense to Danny Dimes and Kirk throwing a 3 yard checkdown to a covered Hockenson on 4th and season was hysterically funny.

I vividly remember the day of this game There was this bar that was holding a competition for people to bet in money and recieve a sheet to mark which teams would win on a week by week basis and this one was a bit weird since this Ind vs Min game was on a Saturday instead of a Sunday. The host didn't catch this in time before printing out the full sheet but still gave them out anyways, The TVs in the bar had this game live and I had just started to watch just soon after half time had ended and I saw the game was at an atrocious 33-0. But I in full confidence still marked the Minnesoda Vikings to win over the Indianapolis Colts on the prediction sheet. Unfortunately since the game was on a Saturday it was be unfair to still count it since it was before the established Sunday submission deadline.

[@Chartreuse03]

I took my granddaughter to a birthday party that day, checked my phone twice, was 17-0, then 33-0 at half, glad I wasn't home watching. My wife had planned to watch, but couldn't pick up pirated signal that I used, I told her she wasn't missing anything. By time I got home, was 36-21, and though I didn't want to get my hopes up, I tuned in.... Vikings almost set regular season the year before, on wrong end, had 29-0 lead on Steelers, won 36-28 when Steelers had a missed catch in ez on final play.

[@zackaryhaselius2226]

In regards to that "easiest pick six ever," that is 100% NOT on Kirk. He threw that ball where his receiver 100% ahould have been. But Jalen Reagor ran the wrong route. And that was a timing route so Kirk is gonna throw this pass. Thats on Reagor. Even later in the game He almost cost the Vikings the game when Kirk was throwing a deep pass to him, and for whatever reason he stopped running his route and the defender picked it off easily. Vikings announcer Paul Allen said "Get him off the field! Hes actively hurting this team!" Neither of those interceptions were on Kirk. Another thing in this game. The refs were pathetic waste. They called not 1, but TWO Vikings defensive Touchdowns off the board because they said the Runner was down on the Colts first rumble when he clearly wasnt and on the second one they called him down too, but Oconnell challeneged and got the ball at least. But they called the touchdown back because of "unsportsmanlike conduct" because Chandon Sullivan was Furious neither of his touchdowns counted. They also called back a LONG punt return by the Vikings because of some penalty that had never been called on a punt return.

Most significantly the Matt Ryan QB sneak on 4th and 1 that would have sealed the game. Ryan CLEARLY got the first down with his second effort, but the refs literally moved the ball BACKWARDS behind the line and ruled a turnover on downs. Moral of the story? Do not allow those officials anywhere near an NFL field ever again.

Yeah the analysis of the vikings team coming into the game is a little off, just because they trailed the bills by 14 at halftime of that game In general if the vikings were close at half they'd win, and if they trailed 14+ they had like a 50/50 Chace of coming back.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

@@jessemontgomery8987 Agree. But it was the worst coaching malpractice too. The art of head coaching is being lost while owners hire men who don’t have the skills to manage a game. Some of these coaches don’t even watch the games. They bury their faces in play sheets. Michael Lombardi provides excellent definitions on NFL positions & their job duties. Turns out the NFL is like any corporation & the better a job is defined the more performance the employer gets. There’s also written standards for grading players in the draft that are fascinating. Once again, the teams with the best programs have the most specific standards & do the best in the draft. The document describing what constitutes a first round QB is so cool. Every round has different standards. But ALL of that is being lost as owners just try to find OCs who design plays. Football can be chess on grass or it can be Jeff Saturday or Dan Quinn not grasping their responsibilities in a game & leaving too much to chance. Sorry for th long rant.
