This thread will be pinned once we're under way.

If you see something happening, please describe the play instead of eg "WOW".

Please describe more of what you see, things that will help other fantasy owners eg Player X is seeing loads of targets, Player Y is running the ball with authority today etc

Remember, not all of us are watching your game.

Is the roar restored?

Lions gonna win by 2tds! Go Lions!

 

[Anthony Borbely]

A good team should win this game against the Vikings...even on the road. There is no such thing as an easy game in the NFL.

If the Lions want to be considered a good team right now, then this is a game they have to win. I consider this to be a very important game for the Lions.

I do think they are a very good team and think they will win by 10-14 points.

Not that much but I think they do win.

Suh met AD in the backfield and AD dove forward for the first. A good spot helped a bit too.

 

[griff321]

MN is rolling with odd three TE sets.

 

[griff321]

AD shows his outstanding balance, vision, lateral agility, and power on a sick 43 yd gain.

 

[griff321]

Aaand poor execution stalls another great opportunity for the vikes.

 

[MSULions]

let's get this party started Lions!

 

[griff321]

SACK JA!

Very nice speed move.

 

[ArcticEdge]

BIG HOSS with Stafford's first sack!!!

 

[ArcticEdge]

 

[griff321]

Typically McNabb has not been a second half guy and to see him hovering at or below 50% this early is pretty troubling.

 

[MSULions]

HORRIBLE roughing the passer call

 

[Hov34]

Does McNabb look as bad as it sounds?

 

[MSULions]

SUUUHHHHHHHHH! 2 sacks already.

 

[griff321]

Does McNabb look as bad as it sounds?

No.Without question he looks worse.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Whatever you do Minnesota, just make sure you don't run the ball twice in a row. Keep following up those 6 yard first down runs with multiple shotgun passes for sacks. That's a great plan.

 

[ArcticEdge]

BOOM!!! ROBISON WITH THE HUGE SACK!!!

 

[griff321]

Coleman is saying Greenway could not hear the call because he had a malfunctioning helmet. Terrible waste but a good one.

 

[MSULions]

please get rid of Gosder Cherilus.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Does McNabb look as bad as it sounds?

No.Without question he looks worse.

It's Ponder time. Just cut McNabb. I said it.

 

[griff321]

BOOM!!! ROBISON WITH THE HUGE SACK!!!

If Hoss didn't get there a split second before BRob on that first sack he'd be at 2..looks unstoppable today.

I like the cut of your jib.

 

[ArcticEdge]

I use Ponder in Madden instead of McNabb and am 6-2 since the switch.

 

[griff321]

Even on a seemingly good pass to Percy in the stat sheet, that should have been a TD on a better throw.

 

[ArcticEdge]

BOOM!!! ROBISON WITH THE HUGE SACK!!!

If Hoss didn't get there a split second before BRob on that first sack he'd be at 2..looks unstoppable today.

Ray who? ROBISON!!!

Minn at home +4 was the easiest pick of the week.. should win it outright. People are fooled by Detroit's first 2 weeks.

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

What a terrible spot on that McNabb scramble.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Ponder would of scored on that run..

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Detroit having more problems in rush defense today.

I couldnt pull the trigger on it. Put a nickel on the Falcons +1.5 vs the Bucs tho.

Easy there hoss

what exactly fooled them? the winning? when will people accept that the Lions are a good football team?

So you are using an overreaction based on limited evidence to counter an overreaction based on limited evidence? Interesting.

Without question, but it's still on the road and against a divisional foe who may just be in their head. Vikings have the first two sacks of the YEAR on Stafford. They have them rattled. We'll see if it lasts the entire game.

 

[griff321]

I thought for sure that was going to be a pick 6 for Griff.. bah.

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Stafford hit his hand on the facemask of a Vikings defender. Doesn't look serious but something to keep an eye on.

Yep, that was my second bet.. good choice

 

[griff321]

Vikes are getting to Stafford a ton so far.

 

[nysportsfan]

Morris getting a bunch of work.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Where is Javid Best?

no question this was going to be hard to win for Detroit no matter what - it's a road divisional game. but i tire of the dismissive nonsense.

Easy there hoss

This.They still have a halftime to make no adjustments in.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Percy!!! End around run for 39 yards!

Stafford is my QB in all 3 my money leagues. Lions are good. (hope the Vikes win tho)

 

[ArcticEdge]

Rookie sighting. Rudolph for 12 and then 6 yards in a row.

 

[ArcticEdge]

TOUCHDOWN ADP!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[griff321]

TOUCHDOWN ADP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sick bounce outside with outstanding speed and power.
