How's Marcus's knee?

 

[lebowski]

I'll bet you that this game has the worst refs in the league working it.

I'll bet you that this game has the worst quarterback in the league working it.

 

[bonesman]

damn.... i could have used that FG... how bad was hansen off?

 

[Class Dismissed]

Way to highlight your strengths on that drive Mooch......Harrington passing on first down, Bryson running on 3rd down........loving that!

 

[Facecow]

At least they caught that one. Two offsides right in a row for Detroit. Officials hate MN.

 

[broncofan13000]

i'm not watching, but why is Bennett carrying the rock?:MooreOwner:

 

[SofaKings.]

Lions lucky to hold them to a possible FG.

 

[tampa bay rowdies]

Hey, WTF is up w/ Bennet - I just traded for Moore???? He hurt or is Tice a #######??

 

[Brodie8307]

2 pass attempts and a rush by Faison that went nowhere. Tice is a genious!

Fason got a goaline carry as well....anyone watching?

 

[American Idle]

Is Moore hurt? What's up with this Bennett development?

 

[SofaKings.]

Looks like Tice is just mixing it up with all the backs. Minny's O-line is getting substantial push off the ball.

 

[tampa bay rowdies]

Moore hurt...who's watching this one?

Tice is a fool- Moore is clearly the most effective RB between the 20's and at the goalline.

 

[iix]

wondering if you've seen roy e. williams on the field? don't really care if he starts, just if he's in the game.

 

[Facecow]

Bennett typically gets a few carries a game. This time he did something with his opportunity is all.

 

[skillz]

Moore hurt...who's watching this one?

Moore owner here. He motioned to the sideline after he got a carry on a play where the Lions jumped offside and Bennett came in. It didn't look like he got hurt but with Fason coming in near the goal, maybe he did. The commentator's haven't said anything yet so stay tuned. Even if he's not hurt, I'm getting scared with Bennett running so well Tice may decide to stick with him.

Could it be backlash from this??:KFFL reports:"Nov 5 Minnesota Vikings players have encouraged their teammates to boycott a local television station, following a report Thursday, Nov. 3 related to the infamous boat party, according to the Associated Press. After receiving a tip that OT Bryant McKinnie and RB Mewelde Moore were dumping their trash at a construction site near their homes in Eden Prairie, Minn., KSTP reporter Kristin Stinar rummaged through the dumpster and found trash belonging to McKinnie. Party remnants were found, including a list of female names and a list of flight times written on Vikings' team stationery. Both players were confronted at their house by the television station, and McKinnie claimed the items were from a gathering at his house two weeks prior to the infamous cruise. Moore said he ran out of room in his own trash bin. The Vikings are upset about an invasion of privacy, but KSTP news director Chris Berg stands by the story. "It was fair, accurate, and balanced," he said."

Mike Williams gets up limping.

Roy Williams is in.

Any reaction to BJohnson keeping the holder job as the no1 QB? I understand why they are doing this, as the K is used to him, but the commentators were making a big deal of it and the possibility he could get injured (hand kicked, fallen on, etc.) There doesn't seem to be much real serious danger though, but how hard would it be for the backup QB and K to practice and be ready for Sunday? Maybe next week?

If Cody Pickett can play of special teams and make tackles, Brad Johnson can catch a football and hold it on the ground.

Mewelde with a nice 1st down carry.

The way it's going they are both going to have 100+ yds today.

 

[broncofan13000]

What does Moore have to do to keep his job?

Bennett is tearing it up. The Vikes line is really dominating the Lions up front.

Melewede Moore is all done. Bennett is the man from here on in.

I agree. Tice has man love for Bennett.

Tice just likes Bennett better it's as simple as that.

 

[Woz]

Moore hits the holes better and Bennett is a home run hitter. Trust me, on likely Bennett fumble and it'll be all Moore again. Otherwise 60-40 in favor of Moore.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

So how is Harrington looking against the 25th ranked defense?

Until Bennett fumbles. He's due for one any minute now.

It's going to be Bennett with the majority of carries

Lemme guess. A Bennett owner, huh?I hate the smugness of the people around here.

 

[Chaz]

Can I get an update on how Brad Johnson looks? Is there any passing at all?

 

[broncofan13000]

Redzone time....lets see who gets it

 

[Usual21]

give to wiggins!

 

[Usual21]

wow...bennett scores!-

MICHAEL BENNETT GOAL LINE CARRIES/TD. M. MOORE'S SEASON IS OVER

We get it, #######. You have Bennett. Good for you.

 

[Aerial Assault]

LOL with the Moore/Bennett owners - - I feel for ya. Any MRobinson (my only viable replacement for Owens this week with Keyshawn on bye) sightings?

 

[Woz]

For an update on Brad, he looks about as good as can be hoped for. The plays the Vikes are running are all short yardage and timing plays which Brad can do very well. All 3 step drops, the line is giving him the needed 2 seconds, and he's spreading the ball very well. All looks good here from a refreshed Vikes fan.
