Lions @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 2

[frosted]

Never saw that. What I saw was the ref closet to the catch start to signal incomplete then stop. I never saw a TD signal. I must have missed it.

I may have hallucinated - haha, you guys have me doubting it, but I was sure he did.

Hmmm... that sounds like a euphemism to me.

Lol

I hope everyone realizes I was being sarcastic

[soflavike]

I knew San Fran was no playoff team. How could we be so bad last week?

Last week we witnessed how bad this team can play. All four wheels came off.

[me4get]

Yeah he ref signaled

Yes, after checking with another ref.

[PurpleMustReign]

Vikings need to rattle Stafford more... not getting to him. They also need to cover Tate.

[yezzir]

Teddy's first half passing stats are pretty modest... 6/8 for 90 yds and 1 TD, 0 INT... and that includes the flip pass to AD that went for 49 yds.

He's a ways away from being Stafford. He is what a franchise QB looks like. Finding receivers and delivering good passes.

[frosted]

That travel Wisconsin commercial with Jordy Nelson is hilarious hahaha.

[frosted]

We've only allowed 14 yards rushing so far. Pass defense is a bit leaky, though. Still. Nice to see the LBs and D-Line maintaining gap responsibility.

Lol

I did. Patterson's comfort level with being a below average receiver bothers me. Maybe it shouldn't. He has so much talent but doesn't seem to get it. 3rd year. This is when a player with his abilities should be thriving.

The offense has pretty much revolved around Peterson, even the misdirection play to Wright relied somewhat on the Lions keying on him.

[IrishViking]

Teddy Looks freaking fine. He turned a sack into a 40+ yarder. Beside AP getting to the house how much BETTER could his instincts have been on that play? He is showing touch but the basis of their play calling is fast and quick. No time for the receivers to get deep enough for bombs today

Stafford is getting hit plenty but I think the defense needs to disguise their blitzes better. Stafford is getting them (especially the LBs) to show their hand with the hard count. They need to check to something else when they get caught like that.

[yezzir]

You're going to get it now...

Ha. We can save that convo for another time. I don't think that opinion is unwarranted though.

[yezzir]

Stafford is nasty. We're gonna have to score a lot of points.
