Week Seventeen: Detroit Lions (8-7) @ Minnesota Vikings (7-8)

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Two fumbles, now Goff throwing into double coverage and getting picked. This team is baked for the rest of this season.

Dan Campbell is a huge part of the problem right now

[TP_Fan]

Why is the offense taking it down to 2 or 3 secs every single snap.  Run some damn tempo.  Why has Campbell completely became the worst coach in the nfl.

It’s an undermanned team

So excited to give up a FG.

Vikings have half their defense on IR, starting tackles gone and starting a 3rd string QB.  They are winning.  Come on.

an unmanned team that Dan Campbell is pretending is not a undermanned team

which is why he sticks with the same plays even though the personnel cannot competently run what he is calling

he refuses to adjust because he would rather lose his way, then win another way

lol. Dan Campbell 3rd quarter football.

But he's way too stubborn. Trying to run up the middle isn't working but he keeps trying it over and over. With the swarming Viking defense, he needs screen passes and some type of reverses. And Goff holding the ball and waiting for receivers to get open while we have a terrible OL also isnt working. Quick pass plays would be better.

Good throw Jared

Losing out might not be the worst outcome.  Too many injuries to overcome for the second consecutive season.  Getting the better draft position and favorable schedule is probably best we can hope for.  We’d be an early exit if we somehow snuck into the playoffs.

Not hoping for them to lose, but won’t lament it either.

We can’t count on Branch or Joseph ever coming back close to what they were (top 5 safeties). Concerned about LaPorta’s back and if he can get back to what he was.  Decker and Glasgow both look like they might be done. 

Many holes to fill next year.  Confidence in the front office, but won’t have the luxury of all the picks they had to work with before.

It'll all be over in 10 days. Or, after today, except for one last game.

[Sports_Freak]

The Lions have gifted the Vikings all their points. 13 points off of turnovers. Unacceptable.

I wonder if we could get a #1 pick for Dan Campbell? /s

Down 6 entering the 4th quarter in an elimination game.  Time to find out if Grit is just clever marketing or not.    They have no business losing to Max Brosmer and Ty Chandler 

[TP_Fan]

Hahahahahahahahah, ok, maybe Campbell has to go to. 

[lordstanley]

5 turnovers. A family member misheard the announcer as “jerk off sandwich”.

5 turnovers 

This OL is a joke

Undermanned

[Motor City Sonics]

Disaster of a season. 

[TP_Fan]

Team was never prepared to play. Not once.  Haven’t been in months.

Vikings are less healthy considering.

No doubt but there comes a point where professionals have to compete better.  You can’t get beat every single down.  
 

Their QB is so ****ing bad…this is so frustrating

They have less than 100 yards offense. The only points they have were gifted on turnovers.
