That's a Super Bowl contender? Woof.

Can't say I'm thrilled with tonight's outcome. That being said, NFC is very wide open, and all of a sudden, Lions/Vikes is a huge game this coming Sunday.

Skol Grizzlies!

Looks like Jay Cutler costs yet another offensive coordinator his job:

They should look into his brother Ron...

Would have to think Shurmur or Sporano will get the job, as they are already on da payroll. (Too lazy to verify if either name is spelled correctly.)

Oh and another trading deadline passes with no deals. Can someone smarter than me explain this phenomenon?

Because 80% of the teams have a reasonable shot at still making the playoffs and aren't going to throw in the towel after week 8.

Lol.

BeeJay still predictably silent. Got a little excited a bit too early.

Just 'Queens being 'Queens.

Zimmer now with a runaway lead in the "dumbest coach of the year" sweepstakes.

3rd and goal at the one with 30 seconds left and 2 timeouts. He calls a timeout with 20 seconds remaining on the play clock, so as to guarantee that Detroit gets a chance to tie the game.

How about someone tell the moron to let the play clock get down to a couple seconds and THEN call a timeout.

But I guess since he is collecting a paycheck from the Vikings, it means he is a professional coach.

Who would have thought the AFC West would have been the best division in football through the half way point of the season?

tower912 · « **Reply #859 on:** November 06, 2016, 04:02:27 PM »

The Lion's play calling in the second half was pathetic. Stafford gunning is your best weapon and you don't use it until desperation time?!? Ridonkulous

Packers special teams are horrendous today.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #861 on:** November 06, 2016, 04:14:45 PM »

Don't look now, but the Lions schedule is fantastic for them the rest of the way.

Bye
Jags
Vikes (Thanksgiving)
@Saints
Bears
@Giants
@Pokes
Packers

You get all 3 division opponents at home. Game at Dallas doesn't look great, but the Cowboys conceivably could have the NFC (not just division) locked up by then. They ultimately control their own destiny right now in the North.

FIFY.

It's okay though. I've got the solution. Just promote the assistant special teams coach!

I see anywhere from 4-6 losses in there.

Packers look all around terrible thus far, I thought they'd come out focused and win today.

I'd never count on that with Mac. You just never know.

tower912 · « **Reply #867 on:** November 06, 2016, 05:06:24 PM »

Detroit. Every game so far this year decided by one possession or less. All of the wins involving 4th quarter comebacks.

wadesworld · « **Reply #868 on:** November 06, 2016, 05:14:44 PM »

Let's just throw our 5'10" 190 lb. WR trying to fight through an injury into the backfield and hand it off to him for his first touch in the 3rd quarter. Genius.

tower912 · « **Reply #869 on:** November 06, 2016, 05:24:42 PM »

MUDish, as soon as you think that there is hope for the Lions, they will find ways to lose that beggar description. It certainly hasn't been boring so far, but until the defense gets healthy and productive (no sacks from Ansah, no play from Levy, Slay out with a hammy, Ngata slow to recover from an injury) and the receivers hold onto the ball (leading the league in drops) this is just another year of fool's gold.

I hear ya Tower, but they have a game in hand with a Vikes team that is faltering, a possibly bad Packer team...all their remaining division games are at home. I just don't see anyone clearly leading this division the rest of the way. If you're going to be half a game out midway through the year, you can't ask for a better divisional set up than what the Lions have in front of them.

Jay Bee · « **Reply #871 on:** November 06, 2016, 06:17:28 PM »

Skol Vikings! What a crappy division and/or league. We shall prevail

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #872 on:** November 06, 2016, 06:24:14 PM »

As a Minnesotan .. I can confirm: The Vikings have 53 years to go to break the Cubs' record for not winning a title.

Pro tip: Take the over.

tower912 · « **Reply #873 on:** November 06, 2016, 06:34:59 PM »

Lions have won 1 playoff game since their last NFL Championship in 1957. Vikings fans are spoiled in comparison.

It's time to retool.
