LIONS @ VIKES 10/20/24

[Parfigliano]

Vikes line:  -1.5...50.5...-125.  Who ya got?

[gunnarthor]

Vikes. I thought that we'd be better then many expected because Mullins put up 800 yards in two games against Detroit last year but threw 6 picks. And we still could have won both of them. I figured Darnold is better than that. 

Now we have a much better defense, an improved running game, and a QB better than Mullins. We're going to win this one with surprising ease.

Improved running game?

Well, someone mighta got injured? And one of those weird things, passing good seems to make running easier if they don't expect it?

So maybe we improved our running of the game as well?

I pick the Vikings because as a kid they mysteriously seemed to do better if i did my homework, and hope to do my homework today, at least if a certain football game doesn't distract me too much.

Defense cooking on drive 1

[Parfigliano]

Did he say "3rd and Minnetonka"

[Aggies7]

Dan Campbell is an idiot. I’m sorry. But that’s atrocious 

[Parfigliano]

Thanks Dan

[Aggies7]

Ha! Guess Jones is ok

Yeah well I’ve seen him cost his team games because of it. The NFCCG comes to mind.

Don't know.  Hasn't been touched yet

[Parfigliano]

Why did the BIG10 pick up Rutgers?

[Vanimal46]

Perfect start so far. SKOL! 

[Vanimal46]

Goff getting rattled this early in the game is a great sign for us

[Aggies7]

Fake it again Dan

[Parfigliano]

It's nice that the Vike coach knows football and isn't someone who looks like their lost in a mall

Now you just reminded me of the thousand yard blank stare that Leslie Frasier had on the sidelines as our HC

I don't know how to put sarcasm tag

[Vanimal46]

We're due for a Jefferson 150 yard 2+ TD day

[Aggies7]

Sheesh this game has the pace of cold peanut butter. I was hoping for a quick one so I could cut the grass before dark but not looking good 

[Parfigliano]

This is not my team b NYJ Darnold

Just tell your neighbors you're going for the "native landscape" look

[Aggies7]

The first quarter has been ours all season 

[Aggies7]

I’d go for it 

[Aggies7]

Holy smokes will the thrill is amazing

I was going to rip out the rest of my garden, but that can wait until another day. We've got a few more days left of Indian Summer up here. Currently 74 degrees and sunny... I'm out on the deck with the big TV on the game, and the small TV on Red Zone.

Same. I can't remember the last time it rained here in MN.
