Lions @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 10

A field goal there doesn't really help us. Nor does another field goal. It was a 2 possession game. It's still a 2 possession game. And it will still be a 2 possession game if we kick another. TD's are far more valuable. That's just my opinion though.

You cannot afford to throw a short pass on 3rd down in the red zone. It's chicken football. And it may cost us the game! Go Vikes!

Just this time or the 2 other red zone attempts?

Steve Spurrier
Pete Carroll

steve spurrier was not a good pro coach, and pete carroll was not prior to this year either.

You've also got Saban, Petrino, Bud Wilkinson, Tommy Prothro, Chan Gailey, and the jury is still out on schiano

They always get us on the play action

You'd rather force it and not get any points?

So it looks like the blanket statement college coaches rarely work out is wrong. Some do, some don't. Chip Kelly will get his shot.
