Vikings - Lions Game Thread

[CalPolyTechnique]

Imagine the conspiracy theorists on this forum if we had two straight would-be turnovers taken away from us?

As a Skins fan realistically if we lose today we have to start thinking wild card only. We have the tiebreaker with the Vikings but not the Lions. So kind of hope the Lions win the division in this case.

Still think its messed up a team with a better record can miss out on the playoffs with a better record than a division champion.

You guys have a tie, so tiebreakers are irrelevant unless the guys you are competing with also have a tie.

You will be ahead or behind by half games.

I didn't think that was pass interference myself.

 

[Direwolf63]

Does anyone looks wimpier in a football uniform than Sam Bradford?

Even Stafford doesn't look like a tower of power in uniform.

But he's a helluva player.

Slay grabbed the shoulder and pulled, that was PI on the interception. And the replay showed that just as the announcers were saying 'he didn't grab him' LOL.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

No way that should have been pass interference, then they give the first down when ball clearly didn't get to the 5 yard line. Fix is in to at least make this game close.

 

[Direwolf63]

Late prediction: I see this as a close game, but I'll take Stafford over Bradford.

Same here, a close game shoot out, but Stafford has been taking his team down field to score and win late in quite a few games.
Give me Stafford in this situation also.

Simms: Jacksonville is one of the best 2 win teams. Lol!

I've been thinking Cowboys all week but woke up today thinking Commanders.

Probably should have started this off with spoiler.

Remember when the Vikings were a Super Bowl contender and Mike Zimmer was teh great coach?

Two words: Sam Bradford.

As well as the Cowboys have been playing, it's hard to picture them 10-1.

So he's all that ails them? I disagree.

It is. You keep waiting for the stinker and the season to turn into a battle for survival.

This Commanders team is legit. Their offense vs. our defense is a mismatch. Unless our offense can hum today we lose. It's that simple.

I see people talking about facing the Lions or Vikings in the postseason. Pffft. Who cares? They're both pretenders. Let's be honest here, the NFC representative in the Super Bowl this year will be an NFC East team or the Seahawks. The rest are playoff fillers. They can't contend.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Golden Taint is such a dbag......

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Can't stand Golden Taint.

The offensive line is the crux of their problems. But even if it wasn't, Bradford is not the type of difference maker to take this team very far.

Probably but I'd rather play the worst opponent as possible. You get in the tournament and things just happen.
