I will be on a plane/at the airport until probably the end of the first quarter. Sucks but oh well.
I don't have a great feeling about the game as of now but no matter what all of this is awesome!
@handyman I like Vikings chances tonight. Sometimes ya gotta expose your neck, even when you’re a jilted Vikings fan! lol
Meh it's not like I'm worried...I just think the Lions are going to pull out all the stops to win and being at home will pull it out. They were calling trick plays in a meaningless game last week so who knows the crap they will pull tonight.
Unlike I'm sure a lot of people I don't think having to play next week will be that big of a deal if we lose.
If the Vikings execute on the kind of 🏈 they are capable of…I have a good feeling about the game. But…it’s not a playoff game…just the road to making a deep run is a lot cleaner with a win, the #1 seed & a bye week. Go Vikings!
Loser plays at the Rams. Not ideal but I don’t know that playing at Tampa is any better.
Supposedly there are only two QBs that will likely go high in the upcoming draft so maybe things play out this way.
The Vikings sign Sam Darnold to a 3-4 year deal, Shedeur Sanders QB (Colorado) and Cam Ward QB (Miami) go first and second
#1 Tennessee Titans
#2 Cleveland Browns
#3 New York Giants
The Vikings trade JJ McCarthy to the New York Giants and then draft Travis Hunter CB/WR (Colorado) with the 3rd pick.
Arnold is missing high on almost every throw, he needs to calm down.

Yes, he does. So far the lights are too bright for Darnold. Frustrating start for the team and especially Darnold.
That is obviously interlntional grounding on Goff, whatta joke
How was that not intentional grounding > safety? Watching without sound.
Letter of the law, not the spirit, but the football gods righted the wrong.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
Good lord settle the hell down, Sam.

Apparently throwing it directly into the lower leg of your offense linemen who is only a couple of yards in front of you is throwing it to an eligible receiver. 🤨 🤔 Should have been a safety.

After a nice turnover, offense does exactly zero. Darnold playing scared
Darnold looks like absolute ass right now.
The OL looks awful tonight
What the hell was that kick?

Gift wrapped them three points. Brilliant.
That said, they are lucky to only be down four.
No excuse for that kickoff. The one before that almost went OOB so they seem to be trying to kick to that side.
The OL looks awful tonight
It would help if the staff called a few plays that don't require 5 seconds in the pocket. Good grief, the Lions are blitz happy and Minnesota keeps running long routes from inside the 10 yard line.
They need to move the sticks and Darnold needs to get his sh*t together.
Jones must’ve been give an IV with the coban and gauze on his arm.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Getting laughable at this point. Kick the damn FG.
I said take the 3 on both 4th downs, and have hated myself for saying it, but....

O’Connel is getting salad tossed down in the red zone. None of these plays have been there, none.
Wow.
D is trying to hand this W to this team on a platter. Let’s see what O can do.
Collinsworthless can take DET's "D" (ahem) out of his mouth anytime, now.

O'Connell has called 4 easy touchdown throws in the red zone and Darnold has missed all 4. Badly.The OL looks awful tonight

How many Qb’s would’ve got a face mask called on the intensional grounding call…
Keep your stick on the ice...
That's definitely part of it. I've said all season he's missing the open receiver and by the time he goes to the next look, the route is over and it's back yard football.Every play takes 5 seconds when the QB refuses to throw the ball.The OL looks awful tonight

Ah, so that's how you beat a red- zone blitz...and on 4th down!
Are we still offering Darnold 40 mill or a Take 5?
Let me duck while Slap Shot fires one from Europe
Officiating crew really grade a this evening
The Refs just did a great job icing the kicker.
Waaaaaaaaay right. This game is almost over.
The officials iced the kicker. That's just awful protocol right there. Come on.
@streakygopher yeah, like maybe get it out quick by design and not have everything go up over the top.
O’Connell is in his own head now. 52 yard FG attempt, he doesn’t even know what to call.
Defense running out of gas. This is over.
Just not our night! Van Ginkel drops a potential pick 6 at the worst possible time. So deflating, Lions then go on to score TD.
It looks like the playoff Vikings showed up for this one.
What a massive letdown.
Anzalone could've been called for about 6 PIs. He has been grabbing all game, and swinging his cast into hockensons arm before the ball gets there.

hea not alone. They’ve decided to blitz and grab and they’re calling it so infrequently it doesn’t hurt them
Pretty clear script here for how to beat the vikings. Not a good showing right before playoffs... Could be a quick exit like all the MN Pro teams usually do.
Let the Sam Darnold debate REALLY begin...
I'mma gonna grab some popcorn first, gimme a second....
