**SNF Vikings at Lions** (-3, 56) 8:20 (1 Viewer)

[ProstheticRGK]

I don't think JJ McCarthy needs to put his Minny place up for sale.

I think after tonite, JJetta’s gonna offer to help Sam pack

 

[Penguin]

Lions pressure tonight is the key

 

[DA RAIDERS]

15-10?

 

[mr roboto]

Where is Addison?!?!??

Holy crow, similar sentiments within about two seconds of each other.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

how the nfl scripts games

Fan expectation: high scoring barnburner
NFL script=low scoring defensive struggle

Fan expectation: low scoring defensive struggle
NFL script=high scoring barnburner

and if KC is playing make sure they win

 

[TheAristocrat]

Minnesota, meet J.J. McCarthy, the QB of your future.

That's the plan.

 

[Herb]

Jefferson looks like he's asleep.

 

[Zow]

Vikings goal to go offense

Been great all year. Weird to watch.

 

[Insein]

15-10?

14-10

 

[Zeppelin]

Time for the Lions offense to do something.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Another big defensive injury for the Lions. Unreal

Didn't have the look of something that will be fine for next week

They need the bye desperately.

 

[travdogg]

Darnold is playing scared now. He preread that to Jefferson and didn't even see that he had Addison for a TD behind him. Credit to the Lions D, they've really regressed him tonight.

 

[Snotbubbles]

I'm not sure who I want to win this game.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Minnesota, meet J.J. McCarthy, the QB of your future.

That’s been the case since draft day.

 

[BobbyLayne]

DL Pat O'Connor, calf, Questionable

CB Terrion Arnold, ankle, Questionable

 

[mr roboto]

Vikings goal to go offense

Been great all year. Weird to watch.

Yep. No rhythm in the passing game and Sam is double clutching and taking too long.

 

[Zeppelin]

Maybe tackle your man, then perition for the flag

Kind of hard to tackle when you get thrown to the ground.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Jefferson looks like he's asleep.

He’s doing everything he can. Darnold is erratic as hell all night

I’m tipping my cap to Lions defense.

Darnold isn’t the best under extreme pressure & they’ve put him under extreme pressure all night.

Demerit on Vikes OL. They’re playing like a screen door. When Darnold has time he’s making good throws.

 

[Penguin]

Eagles are gonna represent the NFC in the SB

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

Jefferson looks like he's asleep.

it is 9:30 and I'm a little tired

 

[Mr.Pack]

I'm worried Vikings will start figuring out they need to run more

It's like KOC is the bizarro Ryan Day!
[/QUOTE]
Some serious LaFleur-esque choking going on tonight

 

[DA RAIDERS]

15-10?

14-10

Or 9-7 if the min kicker doesn’t shank the kickoff. Weird game

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I'm not seeing Super Bowl level from either team.

Maybe it's because they both are playing decent defense tonight
Or like you say maybe not

Vikes came in winning 9 straight

 

[rockaction]

Neither of these teams win the Super Bowl if they play anything even remotely close to this. Baltimore, KC, Philly, and Buffalo will all run them out of the building.

Heck Tampa will run them out of the building. As will the Rams.

 

[travdogg]

I'm not sure who I want to win this game.

Eagles should be cheering for the Vikings

 

[ProstheticRGK]

I get it, but he didn’t even move in that direction. Just threw up his hands.

Tampa barely squeaked out a win against the Saints backups.

 

[Snotbubbles]

The Vikes are gouging the Lions with the run game but won't stick with it. It's baffling.

Eagles will stick with the run . . . and that long run Akers had, Barkley's not getting caught.

 

[rockaction]

Can't go wrong with a homophone of MENSA, can you?

They were missing nearly their entire secondary.

 

[BobbyLayne]

great play by Murphy

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Who you calling homophone?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

This is where you need a 10
Minute 3 yard TD drive line prime pats dynasty

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Anyone else remember early last season when Gibbs was underwhelming, and Austin Ekeler said on his podcast that he needed to learn how to get those extra couple yards as he's getting tackeld?

Monty is still the best at it, but Gibbs has gotten way better

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Min is out playing them so far

 

[Zow]

Eagles are gonna represent the NFC in the SB

Let’s not get silly.

Oh come on. This is also a division game, and we all know those games are always like this.

This is a dogfight. Both of these teams are excellent teams with elite coaching.

 

[BobbyLayne]

bring those blitzes Flores

all night

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Great play on 2 and 19

 

[Penguin]

Laporta showing life

 

[ProstheticRGK]

TD drive incoming.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Van Ginkel is so quick

great player

 

[TheAristocrat]

LaPorta just doing LaPorta things. God I hate that guy tonight.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

I think MOP is very possibly correct here. While I (mostly) joke about games being scripted it's very reasonable to think that 2 decent defenses would limit the scoring. Although going for it on 4th instead of kicking it is pretty dumb.

 

[Insein]

Goff got lit up there.

 

[rockaction]

bring those blitzes Flores

all night

18-23 155 2 INTS

 

[fred_1_15301]

Goff looking good on this drive.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

I'd say this is a good spot to run the ball
