Vikes vs. Lions

[diehardtwinsfan]

OK... so we should win this game.... which means we probably won't, or it will be way too close for comfort...

 

Does Stefanski take it to another inferior team? Kind of hope so.... just so that I can get my hopes up only to have them inevitably dashed. NFC is suddenly looking ripe for a hot team to take them by surprise.

[Mike Sixel]

I have no hope anymore for this team. Major underachievers.

I think we route them. The defense sacked Stafford 10 times last game, they just got knocked out of the playoffs, we have an offense that is trying to prove to itself that it's good. This is a perfect game for us. I think it'll be something like 34-10.

Good game to sharpen up.

Treadwell is a healthy scratch. Makes me think if Beebe was healthy over the last month he would have been playing a lot more.

That's the nail in that coffin.

Agreed. I've been looking forward to this day all year. The Vikings gave him more than a fair opportunity to build a career in the league. He can't separate himself from defenders, nor can he out muscle defenders for the ball.

It's hard to believe, after his college career, that he's this bad. Like, really hard.

[Mr. Brooks]

Last week was a fluke. This offense is awful, doesn't matter who the coordinator is.

It shouldn't be, but it is.

[Mike Sixel]

This is not a playoff team at all. Pathetic. Third highest payroll in the game? Spent to the cap? I'd fire them all.

[Mr. Brooks]

LOL. No words for this 2 minute drill.

[Mr. Brooks]

Ok, unconventional, but it works I guess we had them right where we wanted them.

If I was throwing a hail Mary... Rudolph would be at the top of my list of guys to throw to.

Agreed, terrible coverage, great throw and catch. But, wtf was Rudolph doing the previous play? So slow....

With the ball in his hands Kyle Rudolph needs Benny Hill music.  It's the only way to make your brain and eyes agree on what you're seeing.

Well, they're not dead yet.

 

 

Go Texan defense.

[snepp]

Boooooooo.

 

 

Guess it comes down to next week.

[Mike Sixel]

If they miss the playoffs, what changes come? I bet they make BS excuses, and nothing changes.

[Badsmerf]

Zimmer should be on the hot seat of they miss the playoffs. I'm done with Spielman regardless, but his ineptitude should not be lost.

[Vanimal46]

I was on a plane and missed the game. From the box score, what am I missing here?

They were terrible in the first half, and only a Hail Mary saved them from trailing.

Same story as the last 4 weeks of Flip. The offense was downright nonexistent in the first half, save for a miracle Hail Mary that 2 Lion defenders played horribly.
