Bears & Lions in a battle...

Yes, and Detroit was just awarded a TD that looked (to me) like it should have been ruled an INT.

The NFL officials can't seem to figure out what constitutes a catch and what doesn't....

Yes, they are definitely stopping our running game, but we need to figure that out and play better, especially in the red zone. We can do a better job.

This line is just painful to watch. Man, I hate seeing the Vikings unable to run the ball. Its almost as bad as watching Scott Linehan simply refuse to run the ball despite having a great O Line!

I can't blame them for that. Nobody can.

Yeesh!

This is more on the Oline then AD. I do expect seeing Asiata a bit more. Mckinnon has done NOTHING this year, such a waste of a 3rd round RB. Asiata has a little spark to him, even if its with the little passes.

It probably did. Their defense has been keeping them in the game so far and they're just down by 10. I don't think Reid could afford to think about the situation in the context of the season at that point, he had to keep thinking within the context of the game.

Culter is the lowest. Go lions!

If Diggs can continue to be a solid contributor, that's some great late pickups when you also consider Wright and Johnson. Usually it's teams like the Seahawks and Packers that make contributors out of late picks at WR.

Haha indeed.

Ah, and we slowly learn more about why you dislike Scott Linehan...

I'll say it again, it's gonna be okay with Peterson. He's had many bad first halves and come out in the second and torched teams. He will bust one.. Remember the first half Peterson had against the Chargers? There's not very many teams that can shut down our running game all game, just wait

OL is terrible

I don't disagree. Run blocking has been very bad, but pass blocking has been fine, Teddy has had time to throw

Lets keep it going defense!

Isn't Rich Eisen an employee of the NFL? Seems like a conflict of interest that he can endorse a site that gambles based on the results of NFL players.
