Next Man Up! First Place on the Line! Game Day Thread. Hutchless Lions at Vikings 10/20/24

[CGVT]

The Hutchless Lions go into Minnesota today. Can they get enough pressure on Darnold to turn him back into the Sam Darnold the league knows and loves? Can they keep Jefferson in check? Will the offense continue to roll?


Fuck that damn horn.
Fuck that damn Skol chant.
Fuck Bud Grant
Fuck the Vikes.

36-28 Lions.

Let's Gooooooooooooooo!

[CGVT]

Yesssssssss!

Lions can definitely win. Keep this close going into the 4th quarter because at some point that Minnesota defense will get tired. They had issues sustaining leads and could easily be 3-2

Let’s go Lions, let’s skol fuck these purple head bastards!

Darnold beat us in his NFL debut with the Jets. Time to avenge that!

Darnold to Arnold, one time!

I think the D comes out pumped on adrenaline to prove it ain't all about Hutch. I don't know if that's sustainable. That said no matter what I think Sam Darnold is about to regress to the mean, so as long as the Lions don't turn the ball over they should win.

Score? I have no idea but my gut leans towards a low scoring game which means it'll be a shootout something like 34- 27 Lions....

One thing that the Lions on D is going to have to be better at is their lane containment. If there was one "flaw" to Hutch's game, it's that he frequently abandoned his gap assignment. He was good enough at getting pressure to get away with it, but his replacement will not be.

GO LIONS!!!!!!!!

One thing that the wife needs to do while driving is get better with her lane containment. If there was one "flaw" to Hutch's game, it's that he frequently abandoned his gap assignment. He was good enough at getting pressure to get away with it, but his replacement will not be.

Couldn't agree more......., was nearly killed yesterday on the way back from Loch Morlich.

Going to follow the Lions for the first time this season with MicroMike on the podcast.

Jinx bastard if they lose.

But KAAAM AN LEOS!

27-18

Effect of Lions D on Jeffersons, past and present.

Go Lions

Not a must win but damn would a win be sweet

[The Ken]

I am traveling so it will be difficult to watch.

[CGVT]

Shit. No Zietler

[Lionsfan123]

Zeitler being out making a difference already 🙄

[chemiclord]

Well, this isn't exactly an ideal start.

Awosika nailed with holding on consecutive plays. Three and out incoming.
