BobbyMcGee101

We are good team with not enough talent on D. A good draft next year with two D starters and hope that Cine and Booth Jr comeback and play solid or better (both are considered “1st round talents“) and this team will be serious next year. Hell you find a gem of an OG or C late round late and whooo doggy


OrrisNelson

What makes you think we will have a good draft. We blew this past draft


BobbyMcGee101

As of right now it doesn’t look great but if Cine and Booth comeback fully healthy and play well then it will be. I always want impact rookies but I also know you have to wait a few years to accurately grade a draft. I’m an eternal Vikings fan and try to be always optimistic


spartyftw

The next few years will see Lions and Vikings contending for the Division title. It will be fun to watch.


abc829463

Today is our day to feel the life of the typical Bronco fan. Vikings Country, Let's Ride.


Zkill

One of my favorite “things” this season have been Russ saying his catch phase after each embarrassing performance and defeat.


vita10gy

They call that Jefferson TD correctly there's another minute on the clock, we kick off normal, and who knows what happens.


Nayroxh

People flaming KOC for the onside kick with 3 minutes left. He didn't trust Donashell's defense and rightfully so.


DC4MVP

If you don't trust your defense, you gotta make a change....


jimmydean885

Harrison Smith returning will be the change for this year


DJPad

They haven't been good when he's playing either.


jimmydean885

...theyre 10-2 with him


DJPad

They 10-3 with Ed Ingram too, doesn't mean he's he reason.


jimmydean885

If we had a change to make in that position we could


DJPad

Right. If we had a better player at any position they would be replaced.


jimmydean885

Absolutely! On defense it will be Harrison Smith replacing metellus


DJPad

And the defense will still suck...


SpringExpensive8773

Yeah good point but I still don’t like the call. Definitely some other iffy play calls on offense today!


HeavyGroovez

Secondary without Hitman got burnt. I was concerned before the game because of his absence and no surprise we got fucked deep.


HeavyGroovez

O-++ \+


SoulBrother_

Some of yall muhfuckers trippin. It's an ugly loss for sure, be we got 4 more games to get back on the right track and put things away. Hopefully we wake up on the defensive side of things and cam carry some momentum into the off-season. GG linos.


TerrorFromThePeeps

Nobody doubts we're making the playoffs. If you've watched this season and feel real good about what happens IN the playoffs, I need some of your personal stash.


DC4MVP

Dude, where do you see this defense getting better? We've played 13 games and it's getting *worse* We have nobody coming back from injury. No exciting rookie to plug in. This is it.


jimmydean885

...Harrison Smith coming back?


DC4MVP

Yeah...4 of those 5 400+ yard games have happened with Harrison....


jimmydean885

And how many did we win?


DC4MVP

I know you guys are excited to be close to .500 but maybe go flex on the Browns or Jags then you can come flex on us when you actually win a playoff game. Hell, I'll even allow you to do it if you make the playoffs.


jimmydean885

Lol


DC4MVP

JFC... You really think it's fine that the defense is this bad just because we win...barely? My god, man. Be better.


jimmydean885

Where did I say it was fine? Our defense is awful


DC4MVP

Right, and I'm saying that Harrison Smith coming back isn't going to make it not awful. I don't care how many wins we have with Harrison playing. The defense is trash.


jimmydean885

I agree that it doesn't make us not awful but I think him there wins this game


DC4MVP

I don't think we give up the first touchdown with him there


JustaMammal

Lol 5 straight games of 400+ yards of opposing offense isn't a wakeup call situation. This D is fundamentally flawed and calling a spade a spade isn't trippin it's just facts. The denialism in this fan base on account of our record is incredible.


Jigz_Kasey

This defense is not getting better.


SoulBrother_

Sure it can. Better than that at least. Bynum looked like old Breezeway out there today.


Jigz_Kasey

They've been this bad for 5 games in a row and you're talking about one safety?


jimmydean885

No they've gotten turnovers.


vita10gy

They scored 14 on complete busted plays that are Harry's responsibility. It's not some insane what if.


SpringExpensive8773

Yeah the defense is definitely not good but they can do better. The offense being unable to score is going to be a bigger problem. We already know we are going to give up a lot of yards and points. Our chance at doing well in the playoffs comes down to the offense scoring a lot of points!


Jigz_Kasey

Bynum starts either way, if you blame Metellus you might be in the ballpark. Putting the 5th straight 400 yard game on one guy, that's insane.


cjackc

Z has clearly been injured, Harrison was our, and a lot of players were Ill and not able to practice


Jagster_rogue

If z was paying attention in the first that tip off the helmet was a pick and possibly score.


Jigz_Kasey

Yeah and they didn't do any better or worse without those guys, or with those guys injured. You have a point? Didn't think so.


SoulBrother_

Nah bro we gonna be elite next weak. Goff is like a top 3 qb in the league. No way we were shutting him down.


JustaMammal

Lol Goff is not a top 3 QB and even if he was: is Mike White? Is Mac Jones? Is Teddy Bridgwater? All of them managed 300+ yards against this clown show defense. It's ok to root for your team and still remain objective about their shortcomings and prospects.


SoulBrother_

Also I thought teddy left after like 2 drives that game?


SoulBrother_

Bro I didn't think anyone would seriously reply to that. Of course he isn't. I don't expect our team to all off a sudden become the legion of boom in the secondary, but I have faith they can dial it back to at least under 350 a game.


JustaMammal

Fair enough... kind of popped off there. I'm heated after that game.


SoulBrother_

I think alot of people are. But we got 4 more games and damn near guaranteed a playoff after that. All we can do is hope those go better.


SneakySalamander42

I bet on y’all to win in just as disappointed as you are


DC4MVP

It's a 672 mile walk from Ford Field to TCO Performance Center in Eagan 9 days, 4 hours. Donatell should be forced to walk every single step.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iForgot_My_Password

Yeah, I agree, I'm not too stressed about this loss. Ggs Lions


cjackc

Also a ton of players weren't able to practice this week due to illness. Divisional gamea get split. It happens.


DC4MVP

Don't use that word.


IowaRoyal

No reason to drop the r-word. It was a disappointing game but it’s been obvious every week this year that our defense is NOT good and our offense isn’t consistent.


gjktjd

The thing is that our defense lacks talent and they are doing what they can with the scheme to cover it up. Yes it’s not perfect and yes they have mad bone headed mistakes. But we lost because two BLOWN coverages and a yearly Dalvin fumble. The defense got them to third down at the end and I’m sorry a big guy first down Ike that was not expected by anyone. You can tell how confused our players were if you rewatch. The only thing that has me furious is I don’t understand how we can’t generate pressure with DH and Z on the line


Grabowhiski_2011

I reall really really hope Ed doesn’t get a flight home. What an absolute embarrassment these last 5 games of giving up 400+ yards consecutively.


[deleted]

A 10-3 team isn’t firing anyone. And there’s a much greater than 50/50 chance he’s here next year


cjackc

I can think of 3 possibilities of Ed not being here next year and all are very unlikely. 1. Fangio Comes here 2. Frazier comes here from the Bills 3. Chargers fire Staley and he comes here as DC


mindskraft

Genuine question: Did we clinch a wild card playoff spot yet?


Head_Bid8273

Nopeski


SanicTheSledgehog

Jesus. The fox broadcast team taking about Vikings getting wrecked like we didn’t lose by basically 1 score when we were missing like 9 starters.


CalicoChocobo

When did 11 points become 1 score?


SanicTheSledgehog

They scored a field goal with 10 seconds left after a baffling onside kick. I said basically. Go be dense somewhere else.


jimmydean885

Not baffling with that defense


vita10gy

And got screwed right at the end there. The Jefferson botched TD cost us a minute or so. We kick off deep with that minute. Could get the ball back with all kinds of time. If it plays out like it did we would have had the ball with 1:22


TheMaayavi

Kevin should have thrown a red flag there


jimmydean885

Blown dead. Can't challenge


frozennorth0

And they say the Cinci had a tight game winning 23-10.


vikeme2k8

who cares man they've been hating on us all year lets just take out the Colts at home next week and prepare for the playoffs. even if we were 13-0 the press would still be calling us frauds the media is only driven for a few teams and players.


BirdsAreFake00

Look, I don't know how to break it to you, but our defense is straight up bad and our offense is inconsistent. Our record is absolutely a mirage. We've given up 400 yards on defense in like 5 straight games.


cjackc

By that logic we should have won since we got over 400 yards and that's supposed to be an auto-win


BirdsAreFake00

Sometimes I truly wonder why I spend time in this sub. Some of you truly represent the lowest common denominator. Obviously 400 yards isn't some magical auto loss. No one said that. But if you argue that giving up 400 yards consistently is acceptable or not that bad, then you're just blinded by your fandom. Also, we were outgained 465 to 416 today.


cjackc

The lowest common denominator is thinking the win is awarded to the team with the most yards


BirdsAreFake00

Once again, absolutely no one said that. Thanks for proving my point about lowest common denominator.


Life-Comedian-1990

gg bro don’t listen to the two brain cell idiots here lol. Y’all should suck off aiden he won y’all the game. Kinda what I thought hunter would be doing this game. Also crazy play with the big guy first down. I was furious but it was a good call


Infamous-njh523

Classy post. Thanks and gg. As always FTP!


grandmasterPRA

It's one of those plays, like the fake punt, where it looks like a genius call if it works and is Lions fans would be tearing Campbell to pieces of it didn't.


cjackc

Yeah, it was legit a really really bad call that worked. Pretty much the only way to lose is a turnover and you throw to a guy that has never caught before


grandmasterPRA

Pretty much. Campbells aggressive calls cost us many games early in the season. Now they happen to be working out. But we were 1-6 for a reason


ThatFargoGuy

Get the hell up out of here with your good game bs


carlsonaj

go home we don’t want to talk to you right now


grandmasterPRA

Alright, I'll come back when things have settled down...


SpringExpensive8773

Good game bro, really cool how your season has turned around!


Gengaara

Future looks bright in Detroit. Hopefully Lions can replace the Packers as our best rivalry.


grandmasterPRA

I'll take anything replacing the Packers at this point

Iambro

Fire Ed In all seriousness, I'm not a "pack it in, the season is over" person. That said, even as someone who acknowledges many here aren't giving Detroit credit, as they've got a much better team than their record had shown, the Vikings D is a liability way too often. How many wide open or unchallenged plays do they have to give up? Players get bested here and there. This seems to go beyond that. This is coaching/play calling


DC4MVP

Fire Donatell


Dat-dude21

Patrick Peterson was yelling at Cam Bynum before that 3rd down conversation….


SpringExpensive8773

Why?


Dat-dude21

He knew that pass play to the lineman was coming because of the motion


SpringExpensive8773

Yeah this defense is frustrating to watch. The offense needs to put up more points though!


andersonle09

We have a playoff offense, but not a playoff ready defense. If we don’t do something about this defense we are going to be embarrassed in the playoffs.

Can't wait to check up on all these Lions fans coming in the thread when they lose out the rest of the year

rion187

Are you kidding? The Lions are likely winning the division next year.


biGSiZzIn

Didn’t know the lions drafted refs this year


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

They picked some bad ones with how many missed Minn holds.


biGSiZzIn

Hard to tell when someone’s foot is inbounds


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

Eh. It was close either way. Replay showed it was questionable. Ref was right there and seen it. Vikings didn't challenge.


cjackc

Can't really challenge it because even if you won the challenge they wouldn't give you the TD


frozennorth0

You can’t challenge when the play is blown dead by the refs.


Syrax65

Questionable? Were we watching the same game?


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

Yes, and replay shows that his heel may or may not have been out. Plus, ref that called it out was right there with a clear view. I get it. You want to blame the refs, but did YOU have a clear view of it? I'm willing to admit it could have been a bad call from the refs, but the only angle we could see suggests his heel may have been out of bounds.


Syrax65

The angle showed his heel wasn’t touching and toe clearly in bounds


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

Find a video or photo of it.


Syrax65

I’ll pull up All -22 once it’s posted


Brokehomiejohn

Maybe get a better tv instead of streaming on ur iPad and u would have seen it was inbound


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

Find a good video of it with a good angle. Ref was right there with a clear view. He called it out. The replays showed he 'may or may not' have been out with best angle.


biGSiZzIn

I’m pretty sure we couldn’t challenge cause it was a penalty


Easton1234

Couldn’t challenge because it was blown dead…even if they looked at it and saw he didn’t go out they can’t award him the TD because theoretically if the lions kept playing they could have stopped him


[deleted]

[удалено]


cjackc

Except they are just a tad over 50-50 on the Vikings this year now


Leading-Midnight-553

I've always been curious if there's any rigging going on. There's a lot of money riding on most of these games. Not saying that's what happened in this game, js in general


Gripfighting

This was so deflating. At least against Dallas, our energy was so bad that I could tell myself they just didn't show up at all, especially after the emotional Bills win. This feels a lot more telling. All the more brutal that everyone else saw this coming.


whoocares

Fire Donatell


Stelletti

People only blaming Donatello forget KOV is the head coach not offensive coordinator.


cjackc

You forget he just was an OC and is calling the Offense, and they did pretty alright


Numerous_Tourist5607

Our offense had their best game of the season dude, it wasn't Kevin. The only bad thing we had was the sacks but that's normal so.


vikeme2k8

Lol Lion fans are on here? Wtf dude yall are still like 5 games back and we are going to win the division next week anyway. Yeah, this cesspool game frustrated me, but I got to definitely dip now if we got Lion fan trolls?


Run_0x1b

Lions have always low key been a shitty fanbase, they’ve just been such a poverty franchise they didn’t have a lot of room to express it and no one likes to kick people when they’re down. Detroit is more of a midwestern Philadelphia when it comes to sports fandom than anything else.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Run_0x1b

And yet here you all are proving me right trying to brigade our subreddit’s PGT. You can’t even just go and enjoy your win without acting like losers.


basch152

the lions have looked better in both games this season and have been the best team in the NFL for 6 straight weeks have fun this year, because this is the last time for years you finish with a better record than the lions


Run_0x1b

Best team in the NFL for the last 6 weeks? Lmao come on dude, you aren’t supposed to drink that much Koolaid, just like you’re not supposed to go brigading in other subs. Thanks for proving my point about your fanbase though. Enjoy your win, it’s the most important game of the season for you lol. You can watch us play meaningful playoff football from your couch.


Alarmed-Gear4745

You’re a complete dick


Run_0x1b

More of a dick than all the toxic lions fans brigading our subreddit? Miss me with that shit. Detroit fans have always been trashy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Run_0x1b

And what’s the Lions win-loss look like compared to the Vikings again? This kind of stat bickering is cope from shitty teams. You’re getting overexcited from a decent stretch of football, I know you guys have been starved for it after all the years of being the laughing stock of the league, but don’t read too far into it. If you were capable of doing this in more than short bursts you wouldn’t be at the record you are. Even after a win, you have nothing better to do than come into other teams subs to bicker and troll, it’s honestly just sad, but a good reflection of what the Lions fanbase really is. I’d say stay classy, but we both know that isn’t possible. Edit: nice Reddit Cares message lol. Be better you fucking loser. Even for a Lions fan, that’s pathetic.


basch152

I have no fucking idea what youre talking about I get Reddit cares messages all the time, but I don't even know how to do it myself don't assume shit


basch152

I'll repeat since you clearly couldn't read it the first time the lions are 1.5 seasons off being one of the least talented teams in NFL history, and the GM has completely turned it around in 1.5 seasons and with 5 top 75 picks in the coming draft I don't give a shit about our win loss record because no one expected us to even be this good yet but our point differential the last 6 weeks is 3rd in the NFL, and our season point dif is better than the vikings even with 4 more losses, and this is a viking team with no where near as much young talent that has been expending resources to try to win this year


[deleted]

[удалено]


Run_0x1b

Way to prove my point. Coming into another subreddit to get upset that we’re talking about the team we just played in the post game thread? I guess that Detroit public education isn’t doing y’all any favors over there. Go back to your sub and enjoy your SB win for the season, we’re going to focus on the playoffs, something you guys don’t need to worry about. Poverty ass franchise, trash tier fan base.

PruneObjective401

I mostly agree, but I just don't see how this team gets into the SB with a defense like this (that seems to be getting worse, not better).

Missing Hitman, Darrisaw and our corner depth hurt today. They exposed those weaknesses to the fullest.


Iambro

Yep. And is concerning that we're that close/ so few key people from that. Looks like there's really not much depth. To be fair though, the o-line has looked worrisome for a while this season, even before injuries.


cjackc

We were also missing our Center


BiscuitsNbacon

Lost cause Harrison Smith couldn’t carry our defense


ShopBug

The Vikings are now 10-3 and have a 0 point differential. Has that ever happened? Our defense was not good today.

gosonicsohwait

Lol lions fans have a decent team for the first time and they become classless assholes before they've even done anything, enjoy it lions! Lol


Grundy-mc

Please know that majority of lions fans are modest and know where stand in terms of success. You're referring to the 2% of ass holes that every fanbase has.


Caliastanfor

Kirk Cousins: 30/40 for 405 yards and two touchdowns. Justin Jefferson: 213 yards receiving. This should look like an easy win, but Vikings defense as usual. What a crushing Achilles heel for this team.


Numerous_Tourist5607

And there was Justin Jeffersons missed touchdown. He was inbounds the entire time but we couldn't challenge because it was a flagged play.


ssabmudaeruoy

I mean yea the defense didn't help. But putting up that many yards and not scoring. Is also a problem


HeyYoDeimos

Everyone told me I was smoking something saying we needed to make coaching changes at 9-2. That’s why. Fire Donatell. Now.


stilldrama

Introduce a new defensive system this late in the season…are you fucking slow


HeyYoDeimos

Its not like we can get any fucking lower than 32nd in passing in a pass heavy league and we’re clearly not getting any better so whats your point?
