Can't wait to watch AP in this one! Should have some highlight reels.

87 yards, no TDsThe Vikes underachieve against the Lions under Childress.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Actually ADP has not had awesome games against the Lions.

Favre has historically been a killer, though.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

As I said in the "Gut Calls" thread, I see this being a close game that comes down to a FG attempt at the end. Minnesota dominates play but the score doesn't reflect it thanks to some big plays by Calvin Johnson.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Go Lions!!!

 

[Facecow]

Skol!

:horns:

 

[scott72]

Way to go AP! This is how the Lions can win this game today..

 

[EdwardCat]

There was no excuse for that fumble. It almost looked like he just threw that ball at the defense.

 

[jon_mx]

Lions are much better team at home, and against a divisional rival.....this will not be a blowout

 

[jon_mx]

Terrible play calling...showing they are not confident in Stafford. A reverse should only be called once a half, not twice in a series.

 

[jon_mx]

Missed CJ open in the end zone...throw the ball up in the air.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Stafford man, everything doesn't have to be thrown on a frozen rope for god's sake. Put some air under that ball.

 

[jon_mx]

Detroit's defense is playing like it is on a mission.

 

[EdwardCat]

Looks like the predictions that the Lions would hold the Vikings is coming true. Lions >>> Vikings today on both sides of the ball.

 

[Facecow]

Wow. Still in the First quarter and you're calling a Lions victory. Gutsy.

I said the Lions would for sure win? I said the prediction looks like it is coming true. It could change...but not at this pace. The Lions are outplaying the Vikings in every facet.

 

[jon_mx]

Pitching to CJ on 3rd and 1 is an interesting call.

 

[Hov34]

Vikes can't stop anyone on the ground

 

[scott72]

Wow, Lions looking good!!

 

[jon_mx]

Wow, Lions looking good!!

Short lived....Stafford did not see that defender coming across....needs to start seeing more of the field.

 

[scott72]

STUFFED..

 

[EdwardCat]

Vikes can't stop anyone on the ground

They also can't get anywhere on the ground.

 

[gigantor]

if the Lions go with Culpepper they may win a few this year..Stafford not so much

 

[Hov34]

finally have QB you can trust to throw on 3rd and short and we run it up the gut.

GB Childress

 

[North]

Peterson looks horrible in this one so far!

 

[gigantor]

Got to admit, good effort from Stafford on that run

 

[Facecow]

Stafford runs pretty well.

 

[jon_mx]

Got to admit, good effort from Stafford on that run

Very nice...i thought someone was going to catch him in the backfield. Nice speed...Don't think this is a good challenge, but might be worth a try in the first half

 

[gigantor]

Lions D is nasty today

Have to agree with you here. The Lions are playing well and the Vikes are looking lethargic out there.

 

[aardball44]

4th and 14, third three-and-out of the game. Nice! Go Lions D!

 

[EdwardCat]

Another awful drive by the Vikings. Can't wait for the Twins game to start

Ouch.:tigerfan:

 

[jon_mx]

Maurice Morris is looking solid too....Nice running game today. Wish Stafford could hit something

 

[Hov34]

You know the fade to Megatron is coming.

 

[scott72]

Man the Vikings look terrible..

 

[Hov34]

Wow, what a well coached team.

 

[jon_mx]

You know the fade to Megatron is coming.

I doubt it....The Lions are not in any hurry to let Stafford throw it. Run, run, and run again....unless a short screen

 

[jon_mx]

You know the fade to Megatron is coming.

Good call....that was the first time they showed any confidence in letting Stafford throw it.

 

[drew726]

this is the epitome of a trap game.

 

[gigantor]

there we go Calvin. Detroit looking impressive

 

[Masked Vigilante]

Lions uniforms looking sharp in HD

 

[aardball44]

How about the FOX announcer's call on that TD? "Stafford to Calvin Johnson...touchdown, Vikings!!!"

 

[scott72]

How about those Lions!!

 

[Hov34]

I don't see how Farve can play 16 this year. OL is bad.

 

[EdwardCat]

AP going to get this goalline carry?

 

[EdwardCat]

Oooh, Tahi carry. He's going to be a beast.

 

[sho nuff]

Nice rollout there for Favre.

 

[ScottyFargo]

Alright Shank
