Lions @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 2

[Mothman]

Great divisional win!!! Now everyone can finally relax about the SF game and realize that AP still has it

Yes, we just needed Norv to realize it and give him the football.

AD has to get a handle on the fumbling though. That's an unwelcome blast from the past. Hopefully, it was just some rust.

God i hate to root for the Seachicken's ...how about a tie ?

And Norv needs to get out of shotgun when running AP. He was so much better from under center today it wasn't even funny. I would love to see his stats from under center compared to his stats out of shotgun today. I can guarantee it was night and day

[DK Sweets]

Have fun!

A Seahawks win tonight would put the Vikes in a first place tie with the Packers. Wouldn't that be a nice shift in perspective after where we were just 6 days ago?

500? 335 I believe. I'm sure PIttsburgh pulled some players and has been sitting in dime for the last quarter.

Hyde got injured and they took him to the locker room. So Kapernick doesn't have him.

Giants threw another game away.

Great win by the Vikes. I feel much better about the team now (aside from the AD fumbles and Walsh regressing).

It sure looks like Stafford was in bounds when Barr pushed him out from this picture: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... irty-hits/.

Which means Stafford and the whole bench should have gotten the unsportsmanlike conduct call, not Barr.

I'll keep an eye on that when I can watch the full game. They weren't always making it clear when the Vikes were in shotgun during the radio broadcast.

They were actually at pistol depth quite a lot.

Yup. No penalty should have been called on the play. He was a runner, he was in bounds, and he wasn't sliding. Fair game.

[Texas Vike]

That Euclid was no Vince Lombardi, was he?

No! He'd have sucked as an NFL coach!

Glad we won today. Bummed I couldn't see it, sounds like they were much better. That last Lion's drive sounded VERY frustrating though.

A tie after the beat the tar out of one another.

That doesn't like like the sideline play to me.

[FullWood]

Glad to get the win. Back to the promise land.

Thank you for posting! He looked in to me at the time, but we had so many members calling him an idiot that I didn't speak up.

I thought he was in as well, however, he was headed out so it was a bad play by Barr. When a QB is clearly headed out of bounds you can't hit him. At the same time, the refs should have called the hit on Teddy late as well.

Neither pistol or shotgun were very successful. He was lights out under center.
