Game Thread: Game 4 @ Vikings

[broncosmitty]

Zenner had some solid games last year, but he is just not an NFL player. I don't even know why he's the third down back because he cannot pass protect either.

He's their best blocking back by a significant margin.

I think he was in there the last possession because he has better hands than AA. He also saved the game today. We wouldn't have won without Zenner being heads up.

Oh thought Abdullah was hurt

 

[broncosmitty]

Our running backs are bad as a group. I think that's more important than how each of them aren't very good.

Was he? Maybe.

I just figured his tiny baby hands were a liability. Prolly better that he's hurt than just getting benched for ZZ.

I think this game needs a word other than highlights for the recap

So I missed the entire game. By the sound of these posts, it was a real shit show. At least the Lions won, so there is that. Sounds like Kareem Hunt might have been the right choice with our third round pick.

We will need to get a RB soon, along with another LB for sure next year. I want a center too. Swanson is not good even when he is not hurt.

Barry had better lines than this.

You guys are tough on the boys today. It was a solid win. The Vikings defense maybe the best in the NFL. Our WR's do suck balls but a solid win regardless. AA is showing progress and Fells is showing he should be our #1 TE. Stafford didn't have his best game but didn't have any turnovers. Should be 4-0

Yeah, what Smitty said... ZZ is used mostly on Special Teams.

Damn Vikings didn't pass the Lions up after the Lions took the lead for Stafford to do his 4th quarter comeback crap. Bastards, I want the time I wasted watching the game on the internet back.

He would've had a turnover, if not for Zenner.

Because Zenner recovered the fumble/backward pass.

After last week I'll take whatever I can get for a win.

This was ugly, but prolly the best team out of the three we've beaten.

Yes, Vikings defense is probably a top 3 in the NFL. Sucks for them though sounds like Cook tore an ACL.

Yeah, that sucks.

Murray and McKinnon are nice fallbacks, but Cook was heading for stardom.

Changed the game for sure. Changes their season Im sure.

The Lions defense bailed this team out today with the 3 fumbles, 2 for 11 points and the other to seal the game. Miles Killebrew is looking very good, and the rest of the secondary is playing much more aggressively than the past couple years. The offense was shaky, but the 7 sacks was what made me shake my head...
