Minnesota 38-28

 

[kdp1980]

Lions 30-24. They've gotta win this

 

[gotime909]

Missed big play with an underthrow on the first play of the game. Dammit that would've been nice

 

[dtroitlionsfan951]

Only the fucking lions would run a route too short on 3rd and .

 

[mhughes0021]

okudah sucks.

 

[tigermud]

Massive Vikings blowout today

45-10 minn

 

[mhughes0021]

can we still tank for trevor?

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Defense is awful.

We’re the only team in the nfl that can bring 7 and not get close to the QB. We had 2 guys blitzing the same gap.....so one OL blocking 2 rushers.

Lol.

 

[LKP]

This defense is infuriating..first opening drive td allowed all year though

 

[boogerlovejoy]

okudah sucks.

Yup.

Why the fuck are we featuring AP?

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Peterson running a rout going back toward the LOS when there was nobody guarding him.

 

[thehippo73]

Great blocking by Jesse James

 

[mhughes0021]

stafford and his stupid fucking happy feet on 3rd down.

 

[mhughes0021]

Prater misses again lol.

 

[mhughes0021]

why do i do this to myself every sunday....

 

[brewer229]

Prater now sucks.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

stafford and his stupid fucking happy feet on 3rd down.

Did you see the play. Who the fuck was he supposed to throw it to? Nobody open. Not one guy.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Prater now sucks.

It took 4 years.....but he?s been Lionized.
