Game Thread W2 - Minnesota V Detroit (1 Viewer)

[Lambert]

By now, I have to think there's been some discussion by the commentators about Kitna's injury ... concussion vs. back or both, whether this is expected to impact his ability to start next week, etc.

Nope. There has not.

Thanks for the update, Scooby. Hard to believe the commentators are this incompetent.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

anything going on? nfl.com is frozen

Yeah, Detroit's offense without Kitna is equal to Minnesota's. Meanwhile Minnesota's defense is a scoring machine against pathetic offenses.Tie game 17-17.

 

[fatness]

nfl.com insists the score is Detroit 17, Minnesota 11, with Minnesota getting their 11 points on a TD, an extra point, and a FG.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Still no update from TV on what is wrong with Kitna. Concussion? Back? No idea.

[Woz]

something is worng. nfl.coms clock is stuck at 5:08 in the 3rd. its under 12 in the 4th now.

Sullivan is fantastic under center. A real general.

 

[Peyton Marino]

surely, roy can manage 7 more yards here.

Maybe if he throws it to himself.

Sullivan is fantastic under center. A real general.

he's looked all right, but our defense is starting to get to him. that last throw to bell was way off. the pressure is making him make mistakes - i predict an INT next possession

and MN is starting to destroy o'sullivan - damn our defense is good

With JT running against you. Kitna was on pace for 300+.

 

[scott72]

Is this Shaun McDonald guy for real? Another pretty solid week. Worth a pick up?

 

[Da Beers]

Let's go Vikes. 3 and out quickly here so our D can get back on the field

yeah he looked good, but they're gonna throw around 50 times. 300 yards is almost inevitable.

 

[Woz]

Is this Shaun McDonald guy for real? Another pretty solid week. Worth a pick up?

yes - he looks good and benefits from seeing the opposing team's weakest cover guys because CJ, Roy, and Furrey are all awesome too. Great WR core here.

 

[WildGeneral]

Is Calvin Johnson getting any targets? He's 6th in receptions at this point (despite having a TD)...can't get the game, so I'm curious.

 

[snogger]

[Woz]

[Woz]

all right, i've been calm about jackson but what was that???

we don't need ourselves a grossman here in MN

 

[The Shizzle]

How does Peterson look? I notices Mwelde has some touches. Are they just on 3rd down?

 

[snogger]

This is isn't a NFL game.. it is pee-football.

Throw it up for grabs and hope each play.

Oh, and Kitna back in.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

With nfl.com screwed, can someone please update us on AP? Has he gotten any more carries?

AD has disappeared with the new Martz style offense put in by Chili today.

 

[snogger]

So what was this? a pee-wee Football PYSCH???

 

[moderated]

Minnesota paging Byron Leftwich, your services are needed.

Wow is TJ bad.

 

[kensat30]

Kitna in to seal the deal, 4 wide 4 life.

 

[PantherPower]

thank God Kitna is back in. This game was getting so ugly I was going to stop watching. :(

Wow is TJ the play calling bad.

*fixed

YES!

 

[Double_J]

Kitna back in the game. What was everyone saying about him not being allowed to play? If he can play now, why couldn't he play earlier?

 

[Peyton Marino]

yessssssssss.

 

[goonsquad]

Kitna in, first downs to McDonald and Calvin. :(

While the play calling might not be great, TJ looks horrendous.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

{sigh}

 

[snogger]

Fumble?? Viking Ball??

Lets go to the replay..

FUMBLE!!!!! :(

 

[goonsquad]

Ugh, Roy fumbles and Vikings recover. :(

 

[delusional]

Minnesota paging Byron Leftwich, your services are needed.Wow is TJ bad.

Just came to post that haha Going to ask if he signed with anyone yet.

 

[Peyton Marino]

un####ingbelievable.

 

[delusional]

Should i be worried that my def ( minn ) is averaging more points then some of my starters?

 

[The Shizzle]

Kitna back in the game. What was everyone saying about him not being allowed to play? If he can play now, why couldn't he play earlier?

I heard he was concussed. Playing with that is bad news nowadays. He probably had to pass a series of tests.

 

[snogger]

oh oh.. Sharper limping on the sidelines.. Like this defense can afford to lose him.. :(

AND WTF!?!?!?!?!??!

Childress pull your head out!! TJ is winging it out there.. Run the dang ball.

:( Crappy announcers said the medical staff examined him and determined he wasn't as as they thought.

 

[prymetyme25]

9 TOs in one game.

 

[snogger]

The Vikes really need to come up with a game plan that is different from last year. This is going to be a VERY long year with these offensive( ) play calling.

 

[snogger]

hey defensive coordinator.. Please drop back in prevent Defense.. It ALWAYS works so well.

 

[snogger]

Lions about 15 yards away from putting up the possible winning FG.

Time for a INT = TD..

 

[mr. furley]

Oh man, AD breaks a few tackles but just got laid out by Ernie Simms.

Ernie knock himself out on the play?
