Lions @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 9

[Pondering Her Percy]

OMG WHY IS ASIATA STILL IN THERE?!!!'

I don't care if it's up the middle or to the outside, that guy is going nowhere.

[SP1966]

If we had kicked a fg rather than gonfor it we woulf onlty need a fg.

I find your faith in Walsh, disturbing.

[chicagopurple]

the O line is actually working today in a minimally sufficient manner...the offensive failure is all due to the QB, and the kicker. Missed open recievers, missed kicks.....predictable run calls......another vanilla day
now we are wasting time with bad clock management in the last 3 minutes. so lame.
This is on Zim......he is the HEAD coach......he wants Shrumer...but he needs to make sure his coaches do their damn job.

[PurpleMustReign]

Oh good more commercials.

[Laserman]

Yes but he wasn't a defenseless receiver at that point.

Looked pretty defenseless to me

[S197]

Diggs is exhausted. Redzone... Rudolph? Treadwell??

[Purple Reign]

Also defenseless.

Absolutely not - he had already caught the ball and was on the ground - that doesn't make him defenseless.

I have to disagree. Bradford is 28 of 35 for 258 yards. The problem is the terrible O-Line and the lack of a decent rushing game. Drive killing penalties. And Blair Walsh.

[Laserman]

could of , should of been the hero

[akvikingsfan]

Patterson with the biggest drop.

[me4get]

Yes it does.

[Laserman]

diggs

[Purple Reign]

Yes it does.

No it doesn't. He can still get up and run. If anything, you can maybe call unecessary roughness since all a defender has to do is touch him, but he is not considered defenseless at that point, he is considered a runner.

[Laserman]

let me guess, asiatta up the middle again?

[SP1966]

Lions should just let them score at this point, just wasting time.
