Purple Rain

So what's the word from our newest rival on why they didn't win? What excuse as to how they are better, deserved it, and/or were robbed?

Let the purple tears flow...
1) The Kleinsasser catch/ drop could have gone either way (just like Chilly)
2) The Shockey "push-off" no call.

You can discount the second reason. I couldn't believe the DB was calling for a push off when the replay clearly showed that Shockey was the one being pushed. If anything, it could have been called pass interference. And the first reason? Well, the Henderson catch/drop could have gone differently as could the dropped endzone pass from Meachem. The thing is, we all know that Vikings fans will be coming out with all kinds of excuses so let them get it off their chest, give them some milk, burp them and then tuck them up for their nap.
