Sunday Night Football: 2024 Season Finale: Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions

[Think McFly Think]

Lions gotta be the super bowl favorite right now, right?

I’d be surprised if they don’t at least make it there, but it is the playoffs, any team has a chance.

I just give the Lions a good chance because their defense was a bit of a question mark because of injuries and what not, but they made me doubt them way less tonight

I kind of think the Rams win the game too

How I'm thinking. The Rams have a HC who has been there before and same with the far more experienced/better QB. Their pass rush has also been quietly good this year with Verse/Fiske emerging.

Anyway, happy to eat crow on this one if wrong. But I think the Rams beat the Vikes. They will also be at home which is a ways to travel.

Every team "shits the bed" every time they lose.

Breh, don't act like the Vikings aren't considered one of the biggest heartbreak pro sports franchises even beyond Vikings fans themselves. Granted this loss wasn't a heart breaker, as I always figured they'd lose in Detroit.

 

[Jordan23]

How do they overturn that??

 

[broncosmitty]

Their play on D has shocked me... I feel a lot better about their playoff prospects.

I thought we’d need to score 50 to win tonight.

 

[Wazmankg]

Jefferson has been crap tonight too... totally unexpected.

 

[broncosmitty]

Vildor did something positive!?!

None of what you said changes anything. We lost to a better team. Here comes the playoffs. Let's hope we have a better outing

Anzelone being back seems to have made everyone around him better. Best defensive effort in a while.

It's a massive swing. Anzelone makes coverage at midfield better, and Campbell no longer has to worry about it, just focus on the run. It all cascades from there. Anzelone is critical. It is crazy that the guy that led the league in missed tackles for a few years turned into that.

You might have scored that many if not for the couple TO’s which leads even more into your defensive prowess holding the Vikings to 9

 

[Mebert]

Jefferson has been crap tonight too... totally unexpected.

He has been open several times and was just overthrown. He had the one drop, but Darnold has been the main cause of his struggles.

Lions get a stop on 4th down and it’s officially a domination now.

Would you chill the hell out? It's not that serious. It's okay to be mildly annoyed when the team you're rooting for blows a big game. You're choosing an odd thing to be holier than thou about.

Detroit looks so dominant. hard to say if anyone will beat them but the playoffs are a different story.

Then again, they see Minn in the championship, well beating a team 2 times is hard and with the championshp on the line,may be a better game than tonight's.

That's it. At home and also way less pressure than the Vikings, whose entire season will look like a fluke if they lose next week after getting their doors blown off tonight. Rams have a dangerous offense and a big advantage at HC IMO

Another Lion hurt. Why have any starters out there at all!

Could be worse, you coulda lost to the BEARSSSSSSS grumble grumble lol

Part of me hopes the Vikings lose right away in the playoffs so they aren't overly tempted to be the team that falls for the "Scam Darnold is a top tier franchise QB" sweepstakes this offseason.

 

[Wazmankg]

I'd like to see Bridgewater in there about now.
