Lions @ Vikings Game Day DiscussionThread -- Week 17

[Purple bruise]

56 total yards by Detroit to 241 by the good guys.

Regardless, it still gives Frazier no excuse to have in on the bench all season. And if it wasn't for Simpson's DWI, he possibly still wouldn't be getting as much time. The DWI was the only reason he started. This goes for the rest of the injuries/legal troubles we had and it the only reason guys are playing. Don't you find it odd that every one of them are playing better than who was previously in that position.

-Ponder gets hurt, Cassel comes in and outperforms him
-Simpson gets a DWI and Patterson gets the start, has been exploding since
-Rudolph goes down, Carlson comes in and shows how he is being underutilized
-Henderson gets a DWI and Cole comes in, Cole outperforms him and gets the nod
-Robinson gets hurt and Rhodes comes in, outperforms him by miles and miles.


....I'm pretty sure there is a problem there and that is all on Frazier and his staff. It's not just Patterson, its everyone else thats filled in for injured/troubled players. So yes, Frazier and his staff should be blamed for that. He let all that talent sit the bench throughout half the season and now they're proving him wrong and making him look dumber and dumber for not having them in the game.

Yep I agree with this A high school coach would have played CP as a frosh just watching one practice it would be so obvious what he can do with the ball in his hands but our genius coaching staff decided he wasn't ready and that it took an injury to even get him some touches . That and the Ponder principle are reason enough to move on let alone he will have two of the worst recorded seasons for any Vikings coach since Van Brocklin

Cassel isn't doing much to earn the starting job here next year, or anywhere else. His last 2 games have been pathetic.

[Orion]

7-0 at the half. Totally outplayed them but score is close.

Ellison officially out for the rest of the game.

Ellison officially out for the rest of the game.

Looks like teams will need to carry six TE's on the roster to keep up with all the injuries at this position. Sheesh.

[Hunter Morrow]

Minny Meltdown coming up?

[Lash Man]

lol now this is the Vikings we all know so well

[PotGoblin]

incoming meltdown?

[soflavike]

OMG... Jared Allen totally whiffed on a tackle.

[PurpleKoolaid]

Typical Vikings, Detroit makes the adjustments, and MN misses about 5 tackles.

[Laserman]

Piss Poor tackleing

[CalVike]

Maybe CP can get the KO return yardage record now.

Ugh. I'm not getting into this same tired argument again. All I'll say is the positives you want to bludgeon him with all happened on his watch and nobody has any clue whether they would have happened without injuries.

It's easy to play coach from home after the fact.
