[Anthony Borbely]

Uh oh...Calvin down.

 

[SPM]

Another Peterson fumble because he's spinning around doing all sorts of dancing in the pile.

so he should fall down on contact and not try to break tackles?

If you've been watching the game, you'd know his coaches came down on him because he's trying to do too much. Both of his fumbles are the result of trying to do too much rather than just taking what the defense gives him.

I have been watching the game and it doesn't matter what his coaches are saying because that's the worst coaching staff in the league. Yeah it sucks that he's fumbled but his extra effort is what makes him a great back

His first fumble was when the FIRST guy hit him right on his arm.. What, he should see a guy coming and slide like a QB

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Sharper is going to get fined.

 

[snogger]

No fumble.. Surprised the Refs called it one.

 

[snogger]

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Are you freaking kidding me? That's not a fumble.

 

[MSULions]

that is totally and completely inconceivable. his knees were down. there is no possible way that is a fumble.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

That is a ridiculous call.

 

[RamMan]

Can someone watching please update injury on Calvin? Is it serious?

 

[snogger]

Someone make sure to tip the Refs on the way out. TIA

 

[madviking10]

Like Ive said before replay is worthless. Bout time it helps the Vikings for a change.

 

[EdwardCat]

Why are they taking Peterson out on 2nd down? Are his hands really that bad? I mean, great play by Wade...but still....

 

[snogger]

WHEW.. Wade has a nice run after the catch and FUMBLES!!!.. Luckily right out of bounds.. Vikes within FG range.

 

[Zow]

was Hochuli the ref?

 

[snogger]

Can someone watching please update injury on Calvin? Is it serious?

On the sidelines.. of course the Lions defense is on the field so that probably doesn't help.. Announcers haven't said anything yet..

 

[yinzer]

what is wrong with the FREAKIN refs this year?!?

Clearly no fumble...I dont know how it gets more obvious when a player is down on the ground, then stripped and the ball comes out, and its a fumble???

Not to mention his knees hit before his arm

Hopefully Megatron is ok though. Def cheap shot

 

[Flash]

That is a ridiculous call.

Wow, just wow.How in the hell can they not overturn that?

 

[snogger]

GREAT throw there Ferrotte..

 

[EdwardCat]

Seems Peterson is either injured or benched.

 

[MSULions]

that replay is just infuriating. it was BLATANTLY obvious he was not only down, but the ball was ripped out while he was laying on the ground for gods sake. how that is a fumble is utterly unbelievable. what a freaking screw job.

 

[Cabby]

Didn't see the play, but was Calvin Johnson injured? This call may cause me to lose $800 on proline as well.

 

[madviking10]

Still think it was wise to go for one instead of two on that last score?

 

[snogger]

Who out there DIDN'T think Childress would call a run up the middle on 2nd and 20??

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Nice playcalling, Brad. God you suck.

 

[snogger]

 

[Facecow]

I ask here every Sunday - what's the story with Tapeh? I haven't seen anything from Tahi to make me believe he's the type of player you bother developing.

 

[Flash]

BLOCKED

Cheaters proof!

 

[MSULions]

blocked the FG!

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Sweet Jesus. Third and goal from the 20 and they ran a play action pass. yuck.

 

[snogger]

10 minutes left of Childress's Head Coaching career???

 

[MSULions]

Didn't see the play, but was Calvin Johnson injured? This call may cause me to lose $800 on proline as well.

it was a helmet to helmet hit. he got his bell rung but was sitting on the bench talking to the trainers. should be okay.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

One thing I can't stand about the Lions being so lousy is we get the lousy announcers. This crew is terrible.

The announcers never mentioned anything about Calvin or Orlovsky, both of whom were hurt on the same play. See the quote for the reason.

 

[SPM]

10 minutes left of Childress's Head Coaching career???

hopefully

 

[Zow]

time for our defense to make a play here...

 

[Facecow]

Rudi is looking pretty good against this defense. I'd hate to see what Chris Perry could do to my favorite team.

 

[bcover27]

calvin back in?

 

[snogger]

10 minutes left of Childress's Head Coaching career???

hopefully

If they lose I have no idea how he can keep his job.. You don't let a 0-4 lions team with Orlovsky at QB come into the dome and lose and still keep you job.. Sorry but there is no excuse at all for this crap. If Ziggy does keep him, can we fire Ziggy??

 

[Hov34]

Sweet Jesus. Third and goal from the 20 and they ran a play action pass. yuck.

They did that at least 2 times last week against the Saints. Obvious passing down/distance and they run a play action pass.Childress just doesn't get it.

 

[RamMan]

Is Calvin on the field?

 

[W1cked]

Is Calvin on the field?

No

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Calvin is not in, and nothing said by the terrible announcing crew.

 

[Hov34]

Sad, this defense doesn't deserve this team.

 

[snogger]

These announcers are acting like the Lions are playing GREAT football to be staying in this game.. As if the Vikings are this years Patriots, instead of a 2-3 team

 

[yinzer]

that replay is just infuriating. it was BLATANTLY obvious he was not only down, but the ball was ripped out while he was laying on the ground for gods sake. how that is a fumble is utterly unbelievable. what a freaking screw job.

Hopefully Corrente gets a checkmark in the black bookThat call should get as much pub tonight and tomorrow as Hochulis call

 

[MSULions]

if this dip#### says "Charles Johnson" one more time i'm gonna fly to minnesota and punch him in the jimmy.

 

[craigboy]

Sad, this defense doesn't deserve this team coach.

fixed

 

[snogger]

7 minutes and counting

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Chili, God you are an idiot.

 

[MSULions]

Orlovsky is terrible. he looks like he has cement in his shoes. just awful.
