Game Thread: Lions vs. Vikings game thread

I think Reggie's fumbles are being blown out of proportion a bit. Nobody likes to see a fumble lost, but the reality is that it happens. Even the best backs are expected to lose a couple of fumbles a year. Bush has fumbled 5 times and lost 4. I definitely hope he cleans it up, but he's not turning it over as much as we're making it seem...

U guys don't think Detroit will actually lose this game do you? OF COURSE THEY WILL WIN. they will win for the sole reason they can drop like 10 spots in the draft by winning the game.

Only thing that could piss me off more than the losses the last two weeks is a win this week. And these fuckers are good at pissing me off.

Wow that shot of their new stadium looked amazing. Totally radical design for a sports venue...

The problem is that the fumbles occurred during the bad interception streak. That has amplified them.

No way can losing four fumbles be acceptable.

 

[tpaulus_2]

Imo the new coaching staff would be wise to retain the Washburn and Kourek (sp?) as the D-line coaches. They've got our guys playing good fundamental football across the front.

It's not acceptable Smitty. Bush is a playmaker and one of our best options on offense. He needs to be on the field for us to win. He'll figure it out.

That is why I posted it. I've already come to grips that the Lions will find a way to win this game to pretty much seal the deal on 2013 being the single most frustrating season I've been alive for.

No chance the Lions take the loss and secure a top 10ish pick. They will win and finish with like the 19th pick or something.

So now when roof collapses, shards of glass shall rain down...

Reggie Bush is tied for the lead with Stevan Ridley for most fumbles lost by a Running back. When you add in the 12 dropped passes -- it puts a damper on what would be a great season stats wise.

WOW Hilliard was bulldozed by Allen

If they win today this will be the low point of my football fandom. No question. Thanks for sucking Akers!

saves Akers miss.

 

[broncosmitty]

Motherfuckers!!! You gotta be kidding me.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

OF COURSE we get a break in the game we want to lose. Good lord.

There's no way that happens if this mattered. Kevin Ogletree is trying to hard.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

sweet -- let's score a TD so we can hear Schwartz tells us how they salvaged the season and have momentum for 2014 after the win.

 

[gandydancer]

Ogletree trying to show his worth for next season. Looking decent for a#4 or #5 option.

NO CHANCE IN HELL!!!!!!!! If the game mattered, Akers would have made the kick and the penalty would have been on the Lions for something ridiculous. Then Akers would have missed the next kick.

Did I just watch a WR run his route beyond the first down line? WTF? Linehan needs to pull him right now because that's not how it's done in Detroit. On third and eight you run a six yard pattern damnit.

Fuck this team. They'll win and ruin their shot at a true impact player.
