Vikings @ Lions Game Day Discussion Thread -- Thanksgiving

[PurpleKoolaid]

Come on, split the season

[Texas Vike]

It's amazing that a team that sucks this bad looked so phenomenal over the first 5 games. So very Minnesota Vikings.

Well, to be fair... we had an OL back then. They weren't elite, but they were D3 level like we currently are.

[me4get]

Please lose this one you guus, the Lions have a way harder schedule.

TROLLING AGAIN???

[PurpleKoolaid]

We will see here if Bradford was worth the month/picks....I dont think he will be just because our line SO bad.Please let me be wrong god. DO SOMETHING BRAD!!

[S197]

Key to second half is getting yards on first down. May as well punt on 3rd and long. This team has to fund a way to establish the run, otherwise just lose, you're not going anywhere in this league when short passes is the only thing you can do.

[Pondering Her Percy]

cool the butthurt and check the stats. one stop doesnt make up for the last few games. We have choked as often as succeed when it counts. Not elite play.

Lol cool the butthurt? Good one. Like I said 10 points in a half. Not too bad at all. Hope you don't get "butthurt" because
I said that

[Boon]

well, this whole season rests on this oline. no other way around it. Can't get down field with 1 second releases. The adjustment is what we are all seeing, plain as day. routes can't develop

12tds to 2 ints and one of the best completion percentages in the league. I would say that's a pretty solid investment

A Lions win makes a Packers playoff berth a little more likely. They have a tough upcoming schedule, the Vikes dont.

I just don't know whats left to try.

Especially if you have a bobbled and dropped pass on 2nd down. Adam should have caught that last one. No way we were picking up 3rd and 14, but 3rd and 6 is realistic.

Story remains the same...

We can't run the ball. 17 yds in the first half. Terrible.

The passing game is dink and dunk.. 13 completions for 93 yds. (7 yd. average).

Patterson hasn't been able to do anything with his touches... the Lions are totally on top of him every time.

With Diggs out, where is Jarius Wright? He's more capable of filling Diggs's shoes than Charles Johnson or Treadwell.

The Defense will need to win this game... maybe the Special Teams... offense is weak.

How do you know that Wright is more capable than Treadwell when Treadwell has had such limited opportunities this year?? Hmmmm

I agree. A big reason we're in the hunt is because of solid, low-risk QB play. I have no doubt that Bradford could be far more effective if he had 4-5 seconds of time in the pocket, but he's doing what he can with only 1-2 seconds behind this cream cheese OL and a running threat that scares nobody.

Would suck to be behind the halftime show stage
