That was an amazing run obviously, how he split three defenders early and then so casually made the last guy miss inside the ten. Great block by Cassel to spring him.

Man, Patterson's got wheels. Is he that good or are the the Lions already packing their bags for the offseason? There's no way that play should have resulted in a TD but I'm glad it did!

What the hell was Spielman thinking trading back into the first round to draft Patterson :confused: :rofl: :rofl:

I think Patterson is that explosive in the open field, but I think the lions don't care whether they win or not either. So it's probably a combination of both

For pete's sake, people, let it go. Patterson came off the bench and stayed off it a long time ago. There's something sad about fans who, when a great player makes a great play, immediately go straight to "Fire the coaches". Try just enjoying the moment once in a while!

You're probably right. Patterson's explosive but that was a pretty lackluster effort by the Lions defense.

10.5 sacks for Jared Allen in an off year. Sad to see him go, but it's time.

A number of solid tackles today by Blanton. I like the way he wraps guys up.

I really don't care if the Lions mail it in, or not... this is OUR farewell party for the dome and it looks like the Vikings came to play and are having a good time.
