Hello Skoloholics, we’ve got your Vikings @ Lions game day thread right here! Come on in, sit down, and join in the game-day conversation.
Today’s game is going to be a tough game. The game is on the road in Detroit, and against a team who have been playing very well in recent weeks. The Lions are 4-1 in their past 5 games, with wins against the Packers, Bears, Giants, and Jaguars, and their only loss being a 3-point loss against a very stout Bills team.
One of the keys to the game will be getting Dalvin Cook rolling against the Lions defense, helping the Vikings to control the clock and keep Detroit’s offense off of the field. Another key will be the Vikings defense’s ability to keep opposing teams out of the end zone. The Vikings have allowed a ton of yards this year, but have done a pretty good job of preventing teams from scoring touchdowns. If they can continue that trend today, I like the Vikings chances of getting out of Detroit with a W. We’ll find out shortly, SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coaching is losing us this game.
Rough start to the third quarter. Would expect nothing less from this team in the third quarter though.
Well this wasn´t pretty, so far. Hock with an unusual drop (again), Cook dancing around and fumbling, secondary looks lost at time without #22… Vikes better get their act together for the 2nd half.
WHOS READY FOR A SHITTY 3rd QUARTER AND AN AWESOME 4th?!?
WE EXCEL IN THE 3RD!!!
That would be awesome, let´s see if they can do it again. Don´t care much for the shitty 3rd quarters, though.
What Dantz do? Hurt other ankle?
He’s still burning
Joeseph would’ve hit his center in the nuts.
2nd half thread is up
WHAT. THE. FUCK. WAS. THAT. PLAY CALL?!? Goddamn it! Run the ball, make ‘em burn that last TO.
how dare you challenge the elite offensive mind of KOC, he’s “innovative” And “creative”.
League’s worst defense and we have seven points at half.
not hitting the over at this rate
Leagues second worst defense and they have 14 at half
15 Carrie’s for 5 yards, Vikings getting owned in the trenches.
lock the church doors we’re all going to die.
Correct
Injuries hitting
Get the excuses ready
Well….
could’ve been worse
Pardon my ignorance but what are those fucking flash cards in stands?
lol Cousins sacked on a Hail Mary, wtf why not just let Joseph try the longer fg.
Joseph sucks lol
Yeah, but might as well just run him out there
Yup.
Campbell isn’t dumb and brought pressure
Jeez
When you need a big play, expect protection to be abysmal. Expect Kirk to take the sack.
Lets get ball 2nd half and run the piss out of Cook.
10 seconds left, 2 timeouts. Fucking go for something here.
That’s fair….shity plays for shity plays.
Wow, huge miss. Bailed out the Vikes.
huge break
Dantz is hurt
Lol
Still burnt?
Wow that was almost a whole half….back to IR probably.
it was until it wasn’t.
^tear that play out of the book and burn it
The play calling in this half has been horrendous, FTMP.
Now with 59 secs let them drive the field and give up the TD right before the half like last year and promptly be down two scores instead of being tied.
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a Dalvin cook fumble
Lions gonna score here too…
Un fucking real. This game should be tied. What in the absolute fuck is this coaching staff calling out there?
go figure, not a good game for Cook
They score fuck this game.
I agree 100%.
Lol…..that was so bad by Cook…Mundt was wide open though Cook just hesitated.
that play is probably why we’ll lose this game.
He was going to pass.
dumb
Lol
outsmarted themselves
Take that backward pitch into the backfield and shove it straight up someone’s stinky ass hole. Fucking sonofabitching cocksucking play calls.
Nope, the “innovative” KOC can do no wrong, he’s an elite offensive mind and way better than any the Vikings have ever had
WTF is Cook doing?? Stutters and FUMBLES!
No clue.
Cook sucks my gosh he fumbled
good for us actually
Waste of time.
jabronis
If they overturn this… this game is rigged
How can you over turn?
Lol wtf
First downs are buneo
What??????? Come on refs
First down. Run the ball and kill clock then score now
Incompletions are no bueno
Another run for 2 yards….
^Leroy Hoard
So… maybe a TD for TJ?
No JJ
Exactly quit running the football or try some runs to the outside at least
Get 7. Use up clock. we deferred. Get ball 2nd half. Score 7. Up 21-14. Am i delusional?
Yes
Sounds like a great plan.
let’s hope they make it reality.

Dalvin for 6 points here once the stupid commercials end.
JJ can take some hits.
daaayyyyuummm
JJ is heating up. Keep feeding him
Kirk to JJ!
Keep throwing
Cook averaging below 2-yards per carry
3 negative runs will do that lol
Yup.
A few negative runs, those hurt.
longest run is 5 yards, so can’t even say take out the long runs, he hasn’t been productive
