If Okudah and Will Harris are a "no go" then that's worrisome for the defense today.

Shit, I didn't know Okudah was questionable.

Big game. But we've seen this movie before. Lions start beating everyone. Expectations rise. The nation starts paying attention. Then they turn back into the SoL again. Clearly this team still has a lot of holes, especially on D, but I think they'll be up to it today.
Lions 34 - Vikes 31

Pessimistic Pete here.

I don't believe the "W" is going to happen today.

I want it to happen.

I don't think I even have the ability to get my hopes up anymore. If they win it will be a pleasant surprise.

Only way I exit this game disappointed is if they play like they did early in the year again.

Because the Lions have eight offensive linemen active for Sunday’s game, they are eligible to expand their game-day eligibility roster from 46 to 48 players. Therefore, with 54 players on the active roster and 48 eligible to play, the Lions need to declare seven inactive for today’s matchup.

Lions inactives:​

• RG Evan Brown (ankle)
• RG Kayode Awosika (ankle) — Ruled OUT on Friday
• WR Tom Kennedy
• LB Derrick Barnes (knee) — Ruled OUT on Friday
• DB Will Harris (hip)
• DT Michael Brockers
• EDGE Austin Bryant

How far is Spring Valley from Birchwood? I lived there from '06 to '11 before coming back home to Texas.

A little less than 2 hours drive. It’s an hour from SV to Turtle Lake. I don’t spend a lot of time north of Hwy 8.

Way to make lemonade out of that off side lemon!

 

[VulturesRule]

Thanks for the draft day trade! First catch for a touchdown! Woot Woot!

 

[Mebert]

Easy call there.

 

[Mebert]

Okudah should have stayed home with the flu!

 

[Mebert]

Lions are a Walking penalty

 

[Mebert]

Go Hockenson! Hell of a drop

 

[VulturesRule]

OK D - play clean and hold them deep.

 

[VulturesRule]

A call that went the Lions way, clean punt return and then one play for a TD - what team showed up today?

 

[broncosmitty]

Hell yeah.


Appreciate the halfback pass on first and goal.

Much appreciated.

 

[Mebert]

We need Jason Hanson!

 

[VulturesRule]

Trickeration - march - keep striving - more trickeration - score!

And taking good amount of time off the clock.

What would be the push to be down six instead of seven there?

Cuz my initial reaction to that was Wow, the Vikings staff is pretty stupid.
