Vikings @ Lions / 2011-12-11

[Brett A.]

Today, the Vikings travel to Ford Field to take on the struggling Detroit Lions. Adrian Peterson will not play for the third straight week due to an ankle injury. Christian Ponder (hips) will.

Discuss the game here!

SKOOOOLLLLLLLLL

For those of you, like me, who don't have the Sunday ticket and fox isn't showing our game.

Hey, any of you have the redzone from NFL Network? Was wondering if it's worth it...

[CalVkg]

ok, let's kick some kitty

[LeCount]

Gonna be another long game.....jeez.....

[Brett A.]

So... about that offensive line pick. Vikings, on their first play on offense, allow ponder to be blind side stripped for a touchdown. Way to go Loadholt!

[Big Johnny]

Why the hell are they passing?

[Brett A.]

And there is an interception...

[CalVkg]

man, we really do suck

[Brett A.]

Yikes... we look absolutely horrific

[Brett A.]

Where do you start man... this is depressing.

[Big Johnny]

You got that right Cal, geez

[Malte]

This is getting REALLY embarrasing already

[Brett A.]

Begs the question... is Tarkenton right? Is Ponder really the QBOTF?

[Brett A.]

Carterhof, is that feed working? Somewhat current? Don't wanna stick around the bar for this garbage...

[LeCount]

This team has no business being on an NFL field. NO Blocking, NO Coverage, NO kick returns, NO Punt coverage. NO Chance.

[c.carterhof]

Not working very well Brett. I don't know if I wanna watch...

Offense sucks, D sucks, special teams suck.

[CalVkg]

blowout in progress

[LeCount]

Link two is working fine for me....unfortunately....

[Brett A.]

That's not the feed CC, haha...

21-0

Wow, kind of glad the live chat fell through.

This looks like the Joey Harrington years for Detroit, except it is Minnesota sucking this time around. Griffin benched outright... NOBODY has had a good performance so far... an argument could be made for KWill and Jared Allen playing well, but they have both had dumb penalties already.

This is embarassing.

[CalVkg]

1st qtr., and i'd say put in the reserves already, but maybe they're already playing

[Brett A.]

Vikes and ponder with a MUCH better looking drive. Shiancoe touchdown. 7-21

[CalVkg]

shank the crank

[c.carterhof]

Woohoo! Nice play.

[adammwarwas]

Okay, as much as we can point to the O-Line for this disaster, I have yet to notice any miscues from Chrlie Johnson, and in fact he's put some good blocks out there. Vikes running left is working out WAY better than right, other than the play where Toby had to break three tackles in the backfield and before a nice gain to the right. Shiancoe is finally doing some good things as well.
