loving the defense

They're just blitzing every play.

loving the defense

Yeah, but Sam seems to be the best defender these last few minutes

 

[Insein]

Darnold with a vintage Cousins esque performance.

 

[dickey moe]

Not a pair of encouraging series from Goff/Darnold.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

I don't understand coaches. Take points early so you're not chasing them later.

Normally I would agree, but against this team I think you go there. Just missed the throw.

I wonder if one of the side effects of Campbell going for it so much is that he gets in the other coach's head. If the game comes down to who converts more 4th downs I'll take Detroit every day and twice on Sunday Night Football

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

loving the defense

Your best defensive player tonight has been Sam Darnold.

 

[Grahamburn]

Darnold needs to look for a running lane - he had room.

He’s no Baker Mayfield.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I asked the rhetorical earlier today

How many big games has Darnold been in?

loving the defense

They're just blitzing every play.

didn’t blitz on 1st down, clean PBU by Robertson on JJ

 

[Mt. Man]

So far definitely feel lucky that Vikings only have 3.
Some things on Lions offense are okay, but Vikes D flying around and are very dangerous.
Hopefully Detroit puts together a long drive.

Ivan Pace Jr the best USFA signing of the 2020s?

Won the rights to him in free agency that year. Cashman is their starter and Flores generally only runs one backer in base so he doesn't quite get the snaps of the other guys, which hurts for IDP.

Best UDFA signing of the 2020s might have been James Robinson before his injuries. Pace is still undersized.

I absolutely think he does get in their heads

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Lions need a TD here

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Darnold with a vintage Cousins esque performance.

"Lets see who's really QB for the Vikings!"

[Pulls off mask]

"Oh my God, it's Old Man Cousins!"

"And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling Lions!"

 

[Gjallarhorn]

It almost looks like the Vikings are playing with a $10MIL free agent QB.

Yeah, but he is impacting every play. Playing on a whole nother level

yeah there’s reason no one took him

every time I see the Vikings he’s creating havoc

 

[Frostillicus]

Good for Darnold to get these big game jitters out now rather than in the playoffs.

 

[kyoun1e]

Darnold turning into a pumpkin right on time.

 

[Gjallarhorn]

If the Vikings losing to the Lions means a lower chance of the Eagles winning, then I am fine. I would rather the Eagles lose than the Vikings win. Truth.

 

[mr roboto]

It almost looks like the Vikings are playing with a $10MIL free agent QB.

If he calms down it’s 20-7 right now.

His ceiling is elite. He just needs to get into rhythm.

 

[Insein]

Barry Sanders just doing Stats cut aways.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Turf Monster got Patrick on that play or he would have had a first

 

[rockaction]

Wow. Ten points.

Sad trombone.

Eagles play the Packers. How does this game affect them?

You’ll get nothing, and like it.

Lions tougher road matchup than Vikings?

 

[Man In The Box]

Don’t fret Vikings. I’m sure all those points you just left on the field won’t haunt you all offseason.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

1st Down!

 

[Steeler]

So glad I teased the line to 69.5 for S and Gs

 

[Gjallarhorn]

Don’t fret Vikings. I’m sure all those points you just left on the field won’t haunt you all offseason.

Right, because we are not used to losing every single season since we came into existence

You should turn in your fan card immediately.

Eagles win, Bucs win, Vikings win. Lions vs Vikings part 3. Eagles vs Bucs

I don't mean to alarm anyone, but if Eagles, Bucs and one of these teams win next week we get Minn-Det Round Three in the divisional

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

1st Down!

Not so fast

 

[ProstheticRGK]

what in the holy hell was that pass?!?!?

 

[TheAristocrat]

Whew, lucky terrible play call

Would love nothing more than dashing the Eagles hopes in Philly again.

Little too cute there

I’m just testing out my new and improved, hybrid quasi reverse jinx.

 

[Desert_Power]

Amazing watching this OL get pushed back off the LOS. Wow.

Collinsworth chimes in as I'm typing.

 

[Insein]

Lions helping Vikings out here.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Nothing says we're passing like not even putting Gibbs out on the field.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

what in the holy hell was that pass?!?!?

Tipped

 

[Grahamburn]

Getting down to the cuticles.

 

[Gr00vus]

Who had defensive showcase on their bingo card?

I get that. I’m looking ahead to a potential NFC championship matchup (Philly at Detroit).

Thanks, missed it real time

We welcome the Bucs to the Linc for some much need retribution.
