I mean, it?s Nick Mullens. I cannot imagine their offense will put up more than 21 unless the Lions offense helps them.

This one is on Goff. 2+ turnovers and we lose. Anything less and I think we walk out of Minnesota with the division.

Lions 30-21

Raymond makes up on the next catch.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice move Jamo !

 

[biggunsbob]

I?d qb sneak that is me.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice drive ! Over 7 minutes !

 

[gotime909]

That was a great drive

 

[biggunsbob]

Don?t get the all out blitz. Come on Glenn be better.

 

[biggunsbob]

3 plays Vikings at the lions 20.

 

[gotime909]

Aaron Glenn getting exposed early. First 3 plays went to wide open receivers

 

[mhughes0021]

need an entirely new defense. Id keep Hutch mcneil Campbell and Sutton. Get rid of the rest.

 

[gotime909]

Wierd coverage having Anzalone and Campbell basically holding hands in the middle of the field

 

[gotime909]

Gonna need some turnovers from the d today. Watch Hock on 3rd down

 

[biggunsbob]

Stupid.

 

[gotime909]

What the hell Branch
