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

[Motown Bombers]

If Decker was returning punts, would he need to report? We may want to sit Raymond now.

If the LaPorta injury is the difference between us having "no chance" next week or being Super Bowl contenders if he wasn't hurt then he is the most valuable non QB in the history of football. 

I agree.

I still don’t think he should have been put in a position where he was hurt in a 95% meaningless week 18 game.

Hyperbolic overstatement of the year.

Is it? There are 3-4 close wins that could have very well been losses without him. He's made MANY critical catches and for a QB like Goff to lose his security blanket is a big blow no matter how you cut it, not to mention how critical he's been in the running game. I just don't see how they overcome this loss unless the defense wins some games.

Levi has a big sack! 😀

I wanna see that one again as I was watching Hutch collapse the right side of the pocket and then Levi slipped through. I'd like to see what Levi actually did to get home on that sack...

[MichiganCardinal]

I would rather Awosike be lined up at wide receiver than one of our actual receivers.

What are we doing

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Now St. Brown is hurt. I think it's time to get your starters out now with this lead. 

[Motor City Sonics]

St. Brown banged up now. 

 

Goff is still in there. 

 

Did Decker just check in ?  Was that the cheer? 

[TP_Fan]

St brown now coming up lame.  Come on Dan.

Only on offense if a player is wearing 51-79

[Jason_R]

Honestly, Detroit should have just forfeit the game. It was meaningless anyway. 

[RandyMarsh]

Yeah definitely time to get the starters out especially on offense, we're up 14 on a team who looks terrible on offense, you very likely aren't going to need anymore points to win this.

I would have rather them forfeited than left with a critical injury.

[Motor City Sonics]

St. Brown is back out there.  WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING? 

 

 

he's still hurt, what the **** are you ****in doin? 

[RandyMarsh]

It was a touchback but  Fox is such a beast, too bad he can't kick field goals.

Is it? ...

Yes, it is.

What you are saying is that Ben Johnson and Dave Campbell completely lack the creativity to work around a key guy being out for a period of time, and that Goff is incapable of scoring points if his rookie TE is missing the game.

Complete, and total, falsehood. On all counts.

[TP_Fan]

Campbell just being stubborn now. Branch came back in. Puts st brown back in. Leaving all the starters with the injuries piling up.  This is wreckless coaching right now.  Chances of winning a playoff game severely diminished after today.  

[buddha]

get the starters out of the game.  please.

[Motown Bombers]

This run defense is kind of concerning since it has been so good all year.

then who players here probably arent enough back ups

[TP_Fan]

Borderline criminal.  For real.   

[Motor City Sonics]

From Detroit, Michigan.  The flash, apparently official,  Sam LaPorta's season died at 1pm Central Standard Time,  2pm Eastern Time,   some 38 minutes ago.      Backup Tight End James Mitchell will be taking the Oath of Tight End shortly. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Jefferson makes every contested catch. 

[MichiganCardinal]

That’s the most Calvin Johnson catch I’ve seen since Calvin Johnson. Not even reviewed.

[number20]

Jefferson has like a million yards again
