Game 4: Lions @ Vikings Thread

Tough NFC North win on the road...which is always a good win.

But...the offense needs to figure their passing game out.

Damn AA was going to get over 100 too ... stopped at 94 !!!

Conflicting feelings here. Happy that we got a W and moved to three and one. Minnesota is a tough team and we just beat them on the road. Also, does it show that we are improving that we can play a shitty game against a good team and still get a W?

On the reverse side. We played like absolute crap. Our offense is terrible right now. JBC is a pussy and his offense is even more predictable than last year's.

Well in theory it allowed the Lions to attempt a pass without any risk, the incompletion has no impact because the clock was stopping regardless at the end of the play.

But since we have no balls I guess it didn't matter.

Ya stafford cant complete passes...so they had nothing to worry about

 

[biggunsbob]

Team should be 4-0 !!!!

Good game by Abdullah, looked quicker today.

 

[mhughes0021]

20 carries equals like an automatic injury for Abdullah.

OC getting fired maybe?

No chance. Caldwell loves these games. This is clearly their game plan week to week. There going to go with the don't make a mistake, conservative offense most weeks and let the defense do their thing.

I don't always like it either but it's getting them W's. Today I was ok being on the conservative side and the offense just looked out of sync all day. But yes, I think we were too conservative.

Sometimes I forget to factor in the Lions factor into situations.

A win is a win, but there's a ton of room for improvement. Playing like that with a 7 point lead isn't usually going to work out like it did today.

I had no issues either. This was a Defensive ball game, and Minny's defense is damn good as well so I wasn't surprised the offense had trouble.

The way I look at it, what good is a great offense if your defense can't stop shit? I'll gladly trade a great offense for a great defense.

Doesn't have to be one or the other. Great defense with an offense that can at least put the game away with a measly fg over the final 6 drives. Our puttz of an OC has a lot to do with that. Use some creativity to pick up a couple first downs. We don't have to just lay on a one score lead, extend that shit

Team deserves to be 3-1 aftrr getting last week's game ripped from us .. Defense deserves it for sure !!!!

True loss for both teams. Didn't look like either team wanted to win.

Rams look great out of nowhere.

It's too bad we didn't hire McVey. That guy has single-handedly turned the worst offense in the NFL to one of the best in one off-season. Same guys.
