Week Eighteen: Minnesota Vikings (7-9) @ Detroit Lions (11-5)


Recommended Posts

I mean I'm not happy with the LaPorta injury but it doesn't change our playoff outlook that much imo. Over the course of the season having a TE like that can make a difference but they don't change the outcome of any one game all that much.

It's not like losing a key offensive lineman which leads to your QB getting killed, an elite pass rusher or most of all your QB.

ASB and Justin swapping jerseys.   Wonder what Coach Patricia will have to say about that.   

The Lions should offer Minnesota a 4th round pick for Jefferson. Considering he's a terrible teammate, bad for the clubhouse vibe. MCDC could straighten him out.

If we play the Rams, they'll beat us anyway. They are playing championship football right now.

I hadn't watched a ton of the Jags nor followed them that closely but in regards to Lawrence from what I can remember he was starting to play pretty well around the middle of the season before getting injured. I wonder if there are still some lingering effects which would explain his bad play down the stretch?

Either way he hasn't come close to living up to his hype, he's been pretty solid for the most part the past 2 seasons but nowhere near the franchise altering superstar that people pegged him to be pre draft.

Just reading between the lines I do think it's safe to say that he will be missing next week, of course with it being the playoffs if there is any chance he can tough it out and play he will but even so don't know how effective he would be anyway in that case.

Sounds like atleast 1 game which does suck but really I don't see a guy like LaPorta being one of the guys Campbell or most coaches for that matter would've sat even if he did sit guys this week. Goff, Montgomery/Gibbs, St. Brown and maybe some O lineman I could see but I don't think the rookie TE would have been one of them so even though people are going to question his strategy I think ultimately it really wouldn't have made a difference in regards to LaPorta. imo

Especially with Brock Wright out as well. 

This kind of sounds like the injury Kelce had prior to the Lions game.
