I thought about this, and, with the return of the great Kevin Williams, its a no brainer to me. McNabb is getting more comfortable, and Peterson is a BEAST, so in my humble opinion, the vikes take this one 35-21.
Also, I think that the vikes can put detroit's faggott QB in the hospital.

I'll bite...

Only two ways the Vikings win...McNabb stays upright and avoids mistakes and Peterson controls the game on the ground and keeps the Lions offense on the sideline. McNabb doesn't have a big arm anymore nor do they have a downfield threat. The Lions defense only needs to worry about 20 yards from the line of scrimmage at most and they can focus more on the run because McNabb isn't good enough to beat them with his arm. I wouldn't worry about Williams in the middle...the Lions can't run between the tackles anyway. That Vikings defense isn't as daunting as it once was...I wouldn't put Stafford on Rivers' level yet but I can see him putting up numbers on that Vikings secondary as well.

dude, percy harvin can outrun anyone on your defense, so, mcnabb needs to find him. and, I'd like williams to find stafford, and knock him out.
vikings can win this!!!

Who? Does he even play anymore? Let's see if he still has a pulse. Hmmm...Ah, there he is.

He's #72 in receiving yardage, no touchdowns. I'd have to say he blows goats.

great quote by the great winston churchill, too bad Obama is more like neville chamberlain instead, a dumb liberal with shit for brains.

churchill was smart as a whip, and he smoked like a chimney and drank like a fish, YET, he lived into his nineties.

Harvin is one of the fastest men in the entire NFL, you imbicile you. and, if your not careful, He'll run right by your secondary you foolish clown you.

oh, did I mention that Kevin williams is back? and he will hurt your QB?

So what? He still sucks and his QB is even worse. McNubb only has only completed 25 passes this year. He is one of the 3 worst QBs in the league.

Great logic.

It's baffling how multiple Pro Bowl appearances have eluded DHB thus far, right?

I have to imagine the Lions break the Metrodome snide on Sunday. The Vikings are just brutal and the Lions are setting themselves up for first-place showdowns with Green Bay.

So the Vikings are going to win the game because they have a guy who's really fast? Wow. That's some impressive football acumen, right there.

wow, hold on there, dont take me out of whole context, you forgot the part where pro-bowl BEAST kevin williams is returning to the lineup with his beastly steroid self. You kinda forgot that lil fact?
Kevin williams I suspect, will drive stafford 's lil puny head into the hard turf, and, in the process, if we are lucky, seperate his shoulder, and fracture a rib or two.

get the whole story next time.

You don't watch football do you?

Stafford has a normal sized head for anyone with Downs Syndrome.

What's funny is he's pimping Harvin when they've still got the best back in the sport on the team and he usually wears the Lions out and especially at the Triple H Dome. He's the guy I worry about on Sunday...the Lions defense is fast enough to keep Harvin from going crazy. If A.D. (sup Dins) is kept in check, the Lions will win (and cover). The fact the Vikings have no deep threat with Rice now in Seattle, McNabb's arm is crap and the Lions have an improved secondary and their linebackers can defend in pass coverage...I'm not worried about Harvin. Teams have been able to run on the Lions so far...the Chiefs were moving it on the ground prior to Charles blowing out his knee.

As for Stafford, he's taken hits but he's been wise to know when throw it away although that interception last week was one of his few brain farts when he literally just threw the ball into an area that happened to have several red hats in the area but McGraw promptly coughed up the pill shortly after. The thing I liked last week was watching Titus Young run some downfield routes and he's able to make tough catches. Stafford was praised highly last week about his ability to fit the ball into small windows. If he's given time to throw, he'll put up huge numbers. The Vikings have to get pressure on him because any good QB that doesn't have time to scan the field and make a decision is either going to go down or make an errant throw. Stafford showed his experience on the interception last week.

correct, I didnt mention ALL DAY, because he is a given, bottom line? we'll win, bet the house and the kids/

Not going to win today settling for 3, VikingFan...

I'm glad McNabb is a noodle arm because this would be worse than 6-0 against a functional QB. The Lions o-line needs work on protecting Stafford and establish something on offense. Peterson has been solid but without a QB that can stretch the field, the Lions can put an extra man in the box to check A.D. and still be able to defend their limited passing attack.

This team needed to be humbled...didn't think it would be at the hand of the Vikes. This oughta slow down the stupid fans and writers putting them in the playoffs.

That being said...the Vikes need to figure out how to play two halves of football.

Ahh, now THIS is the Lions team I'm used to. Nice job, offense.

Well raise my rent...we got us a game.

Pucker, pucker, pucker...

Vikings probably coulda sealed the W, but got cute and gave it to Gerhart on a crucial 4th and 1 instead of AD. Horrible coaching. Anybody's game now.

Watching a team dominate the first half and then roll over and die in the second is shades of the old Lions. Prior to this year, the roles would typically be reversed. The Lions would look good for a quarter or two and hang in a quality opponent but when the other team realized who they were playing, they crushed them.

Plenty of time to get the winning score...I haven't seen anything in this second half to show me they won't finish it off. Hanson still has a solid leg for an old fart...get inside the 35 for a chance to win.

Fuckin' Backus...

Backus is absolute garbage. Good christ.

HUGE personal foul there. Send this shit to OT, please...

McNabb has no arm...watch the underneath stuff.

Mornhinweg says take the wind... :doh:

Nice coin toss prediction skills. Huge.

If Will Heller isn't lined up on Backus' left side, so help me g0d...

Calvin fucking Johnson...and a great blitz pickup by the back.

Damn. The Liedowns moniker no longer applies. Helluva comeback win. And Titus Young is very good.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:And Titus Young is very good.

He's been really good the last two weeks...great set of hands. Eager to see Fairley out there...gotta be getting close to him being able to get some reps.

I'm trying really hard not to get overly slappy but this was a major surprise. I was pretty much conceding defeat after the first half...they looked down and out.

At the Jerry Dome next week with a banged up Romo...4-0 maybe?

Lions, Bills...Skins? Oh my!

No question. The Cowboys are the Red Sox of the NFL.

It's bizarro world...and the Bills came back from 21 down against the mighty Pats today.

That's because I talked shit to Screw_Michigan about betting against the Pats. And I also talked shit about the Lions earlier in the game. I'm telling you people, I have some sort of YAFJ-like impact on these games.
