Man, I have little faith they'll be able to stop the vikings tonight. Been putting sooo much pressure on the offense. Just have a feeling the "football gods" have that Fat Stafford/Lions match up in their plans. Look for a lot of touchy flags against us.

 

[biggunsbob]

Two first downs have been terrible . Back to back long third downs.

 

[biggunsbob]

Why so freaking conservative ?

 

[Kamakzie]

Yuck

 

[gotime909]

So damn predictable that it was going to be a run on 3rd and 8.

 

[gotime909]

Jefferson will put up 200 if we go man all game

 

[biggunsbob]

Too easy.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well Minnesota offense came out fast.. Disappointed with Ben’s start on offense. Now defense cant tackle.

 

[biggunsbob]

Punt safe play safe. No fakes.

 

[biggunsbob]

Come on Ben . Wake that offense up

 

[biggunsbob]

We better get that call too. On holding.

 

[biggunsbob]

Gibbs !

 

[gotime909]

Gibbs!!! Hell of a throw by Goff on 4th down!!!

 

[Kamakzie]

Touchdown Gibbs!

 

[gotime909]

Announcers couldn't dick ride Minnesota any more if they tried

 

[biggunsbob]

Great throw and catch and run on 4th down.

 

[biggunsbob]

Delay of game not called.,

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn wide open .

Punt safe play safe.
