Game Thread: Game 13: Lions vs Vikings

[VulturesRule]

Thanks KOC for going for two.

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.

To me it says they are worried about the Lions and are trying desperate things when they don't need to

 

[Wazmankg]

Not over obviously, but they fucked themselves with that 2 pt try. Now tying it with a TD & FG is out of reach.

 

[VulturesRule]

Nice - short field. Need points and burn the clock.

 

[Mebert]

Jefferson was getting little 5 to 10 yards before Okudah went out. Lions corners outside of him are an embarrassment

 

[Wazmankg]

They could have passed there as the clock was going to stop at 2 minutes anyway.

 

[Mebert]

Well that is a weird play, Sewell lucky no flag when he swung at the guy

 

[Wazmankg]

I think I'd punt this


... never mind. lol

 

[Mebert]

The lions need to sign a quality starter at corner and draft at least 1 in the first 3 rounds. You can't be truly competitive with 1 and a half NFL caliber corners.

 

[VulturesRule]

Well, that was entertaining.

 

[PnkPanther]

Nice win guys.

Congrats

I'm simply going to Remind Everyone on this board what was stated on December 4th by

It would be poetic justice for Williams to get his first catch and score against the Vikings next week. Even @RobBase would warm up to how the Stafford trade is working out.

 

[Mebert]

Bradberry! Pay him like you should have paid Slay!!!!!!!

It wouldn't be a bad idea to try Jacobs at Nickel CB once they draft an outside CB.
UFA CBs are too costly and they rarely work out. Now Bradberry is an UFA and might be worth the risk for a year or two.

This OL blows for all the talent they have and really aren't a good run blocking team.

 

[Old Lion]

We need Jason Hanson!

@Big_Blue_72 jinxed him by bringing up how much better Badgely is then Patterson.

I would have gone for it on 4th. A blocked FG would have been a disaster there. A miss gives them the ball at the 40.

I Jim Nantz 'ed him.

Every kick early on were all slightly hooking left.

How do they miss him going in motion? Not like he can hide anywhere.

True. Agree.

Another ballsy move by DC with the direct snap fake punt early on 3rd quarter could've backfired. You're up 14-7 and its first possession of the 2nd half. It worked, but I hate this type of call.

Sooner or later this move is going to cost them a game(s)
