Officiating was bad as the NBA
I've never seen a season plagued and marred with such horrible officiating.....not just this game but league wide! This ***** is ridiculous.

The #Vikings have signed @KenrickEllis and placed Shamar Stephen on IR.

If we were to go ahead and do a rough average of how Stafford plays on the road vs winners?
RAW TOTALS: 5013 yards, 26 TDs, 18 INTs,
AVG TOTAL: 58.3%, 251 yards, 1.3 TDs, 0.9 INT per game, 76 rating
Couple notes: Right off the bat. If you said Stafford is 0fer on the road vs winners, your point is already useless. Thanks for playing, try again! Because as you see, Stafford didn't even freaking PLAY vs 5 of those winners.

Next...vs winners on the road...he actually isn't....gasp...terrible.
For instance.
How does the beloved Andrew Luck play on the road vs winners? Ready? Ready? Ready????

Wow, right? Andrew Luck, who you swear up and down is better than Stafford and who himself can "WIN on the road vs WINNERS" is statistically WORSE in every way than Matthew Stafford on the road vs winners.
Wow, again. Huh?
Does this mean that, perhaps, just perhaps....Stafford could NOT be the only reason we lose on the road and maybe we should, out of common sense and factual information, retire the silly "he can't beat a winner on the road" portion of this thing?
Even a QB many of you feel is great is absolutely "awful" (based on Stafford's standards) when looked at compared to Stafford on the road. Yet, because his TEAM won 4 games....HE gets a pass.
Do you now see how silly this whole suggestion of him being the reason we lose on the road is?
I know, this will take a few to set in. But....what this says is...Either you're wrong about Andrew Luck and he too absolutely SUCKS on the road vs winners and has been VERY lucky to win a game vs any winner, seeing Stafford has BETTER stats and has not done that.
OR...and I think this is correct....Matthew Stafford who has "never beat a winner on the road" is being held to a totally ludicrous standard here.....
Before wrapping this up, and I hope it was useful, I will add a disclaimer: Andrew Luck has played 52 career games. 16 have been against winning teams on the road. That means that 30% of his games, a very very small fraction, use this specific and linear metric you guys are trying to use against Stafford. In his case, Stafford has seen winners on the road in only 26% of his games.....
This isn't to target a specific poster, rather to point out....perhaps beating road winners is very, very difficult in this league. That's why they are, you know, winning teams and stuff. Hey, folks are going to think what they want, but I think this is damning to those who want to piss on my leg and tell me its raining. Stafford HAS played well enough to win on the road in several games, the team has failed him. So, again.....using a linear stat that you hear on Valenti and Foster may not be the best way to go about this whole discussion.
Don't get me wrong here: Critically assessing Stafford is crucial at this point for us as fans. As we need to decide about the future of the position and team, quickly. BUT, lets keep it to things he HIMSELF controls. A TEAM LOSS is not one of them. As a TEAM win isn't.
In a few games: I will go into his stats vs losers and see how he plays in them. My GUESS is he's about the same vs everybody, but he may surprise me. You never know.

Chris Tomasson @christomasson
Source close to #Vikings running back Adrian Peterson expects him to play Sunday at Detroit. Listed as questionable because of illness.
Matt Vensel @mattvensel
I'm told Adrian Peterson is still likely to play tomorrow despite the illness. That's assuming things don't take a turn for the worse.
Ben Goessling @GoesslingESPN
Those who know Adrian Peterson well have little doubt he'll play tomorrow. "Adrian is Adrian," one person close to him said.
Ben Goessling @GoesslingESPN
Also, I'm told Stefon Diggs will get the start at receiver tomorrow for the #Vikings.
Don't know that I've felt more emotionally detached from this team than right now. I can't even get upset.
