Going for it 4th and 7 is bad coaching 

Sure, unless it works. Or maybe 2 penalties on the 1st 3 plays set back the offense from running the plays they wanted to. On defense I’m sure Glenn didn’t tell the end defender to bite across the field.

its ok to blame the player as well for poor play.

This will clearly be a TD March for the Vikings.  It’s gonna be 14-0 before the lions even get a first down.

This is going to turn into the Baltimore game from last season real quick if they don't get a handle on things this quarter.

LMAO! Silly me.

Lions look like the Panthers today.

The Vikings had the week off to prepare for the Lions. And I'm sure they had this game circled the same way we had Dallas and Seattle circled. And in reality, we weren't going to go thru the season with only 1 or 2 losses.

[MichiganCardinal]

This feels like Baltimore all over again

[TP_Fan]

Shocker. Their guys make plays and outs don’t.  

[chasfh]

What’s the record for most timeouts taken by both teams in the first quarter? Because that’s almost what it looks like they’re going for.

[TP_Fan]

This start is unacceptable.

Just ****ing stupid.  What a disastrous game plan they came in with.  Coaches over coaching early. 

Somebody's in mid-game form!

Meh penalties are called based on what side of the bed the refs woke up . For example holding can be called every play. 

[TP_Fan]

Flag on every play. So incredibly undisciplined.  

[sagnam]

Penalties penalties penalties

[sagnam]

3rd down penalty?

[sagnam]

Wow, surprised.

[Jason_R]

Stick with the run. 

[TP_Fan]

If they are gonna make 57 yarders. Christ. 

[TP_Fan]

Down 10 before we even get a first down.  Awesome stuff.  they better throw it on first down. It’s 10-0 and Johnson hasn’t targeted a WR or a TE. That can’t happen.

Disappointed now?

[Jason_R]

Oh geez

[Motown Bombers]

I think he was down. I think the elbow was down, but I could see it going either way.

So far, Flores is easily winning the Johnson vs Flores matchup

 

[Motor City Sonics]

They should have fired Campbell & Staff after the Tampa game.  This is CLEARLY not working.  

 

6-11 team. 

[TP_Fan]

Flores is pantsing Ben Johnson. 

[TP_Fan]

Monty has the first down and decides no that’s not what they need and stops.  Then gets stuffed.  

[lordstanley]

Montgomery down.
