GAME DAY! Vikings at Lions 1/5/25

[Septem]

Just enjoy!

I'm confident.

Go Lions!

My sense is we saw the nadir of the defensive problems against SF. I optimistically believe some of the returning defensive players will be less rusty and the players in different positions will be more in tune after another week of practice.

And yet, the Lions defense has managed to look worse with each consecutive week.

That said... they looked much better in the second half against SF, so I think there's good reason to believe that they've hit rock bottom, and returning players will at least staunch the bleeding. The offense really doesn't need that much help. They just need something.

Go Lions!

Can only try.

If they’re getting pumped by the purple headed warriors by HT, …… might not be enjoyable!!

Go Lions! Huge game. Give me a zero percent chance of being eliminated in the wild card round, home field advantage, and temporary bragging rights. The toxic minority of Vikings fans on social media have been annoying… as is the case with every sports fanbase (including ours). Still, it’s annoying. Just win, Lions!

Teams are scouting Detroit as well and know what level to attack. Glenn has bottled it up in most games with adjustments.

Lions are better than some of the teams that have hung around vs Minny. Detroit beat them in their barn.

Empty the bag of tricks Ben. Agreesive calls on offense and defense. Ford Field will be rocking.

Lions 31 - Vikings 27

Buffalo and SF killed the Lions with a lot of misdirection and using their RBs down the field against the LBs. O’Connell is no dummy, I’m sure he’s goin to so some of the same shit. AG needs to have some answers.

My thoughts exactly. If we can recognize it I'm sure he can.

The answers is less about Glenn and more about the linebackers reading the keys correctly and communicating.

Bruh, you should have grown up a Lions fan in the 70's. We were their bitch for most of an entire decade.
Now it's the 2020's - they will be our bitch.
Anything less would be uncivilized.

[Dan V]

Fraquar we were. The Vikings bitch in the 70’s , the Bears bitch in the 80’s , and pretty much Farves and Rodgers bitch since then , until Campbell came along.
Now they are our bitches baby!!!!

If I had to rank the enemies:
#01: Vikings. When you get branded like they did us at an early age - they are the #1 enemy for your eternity.
#02: Packers. Mostly because of how we got shafted by the zebras.
#03: Bears. That team of the 80's I actually have a lot of respect for (as I do the 70's Vikings). It was their one moment of glory though in my lifetime.

Two hours away and I preemptively hate the refs, the announcers, and the endless commercials for that "Doc" show premiere. I'm not sure what to do with my hands.

[froot loops]

I wouldn't even rank the Bears as an enemy. I'm not sure there has been any years where both the Lions and Bears were good.
