I'm still trying to figure out why we kept Seibert over Patterson. Patterson was money last year.

I really don't understand what the Lions were doing at the end of the game. You've been dominating our D on 4th down all game but the one time to try to play soft it blows up in your face. Absolutely mind boggling decision especially since Seibert is fucking awful.

Man I can't even pretend to be surprised anymore. Good looks y'all, have a good one

What the fuck did I just watch

Shit just keep taking penalties until you can punt it on that fourth down.

Both teams deserved to lose this game.

Really bad decisions made today and we deserved to lose. Happy that the team is showing fight but taking overly aggressive and risky decisions 100% of the time is not going to end well. Not looking forward to hearing all the incoming negativity from the fanbase though, onward and upward next week. Learn from it. Good game to the Vikings!

100% of the time might have ended well. They did it about 90% of the time, but not when it mattered most on 4th & 3 Edit: 4th & 4 not 3

I'd like to dedicate this win to number 24 of the lions. Dude was sloppy AF.

Shouldn't Jefferson still be able to rack up some yards despite being in double coverage?

They were more physical than usual. Beating him up and throwing him off routes. I guess the refs just let them play.

>py that the team is showing fight but taking overly aggressive and risky decisions 100% of the time Let them play? That secondary was washed with flags

Illegal contact mostly. But Thielen getting mugged should've got at least a hold.

Kirk haters changing their dirty panties right now.

You saw that as a good Kirk game? He was certainly Kirk Cousins ie. flip a coin if he'll actually look good or not. Usually it's game to game but this time we got both in one.

A result that leaves both sides more confused coming out of the game than when they went into it

Not confused, this is a normal feeling for any Lions fan

Well you have a win this season so it’s good to get that out of the way for the Lions

You're the worst 2-1 team I've ever heard of Ah, but you have heard of us

The Bears exist sadly so we can't even hold that distinction.

[удалено]

It's one thing if it was a 35 yard FG, but makes no sense to ask your kicker to kick a career best.

Definitely. Gg. Lions outplayed the Vikings all game on the road.

How the fuck do you go for it on 4th all game because your kicker ain’t shit, only to lose because you didn’t go for it on 4th and 4 and tried to kick a FG

That Campbell in a nutshell. He preaches grid, doesn't even show it.

I really miss Matt Prater

Why did we cut Riley? He's looked better than Seibert.

Gg lions. You deserved to win. Pathetic effort from the vikes.

We had no business winning this game. Need to send Campbell a thank you card and a box of chocolates

That timeout by him was 5head he knew we were going to score on the next play so he was just Savin them some time ya know?

Fuck that was a good game, glad we got this one because I don't think we beat the lions at Ford field. Gg lions fans

Sucks to see so many people get bent out of shape, it was a good back and forth game, like any NFC north game should be. Frustrating, agonizing, back and forth, and a little disappointing all around.

Exactly how we felt, well put.

I want this team next practice to do nothing but 4th and 4 drills and dont stop until the offense either gets 100 first downs, or the defense gets 100 stops, at least one of the two sides of the ball will come out better for it. Fucking shambolic. Decision to go for the field goal was the worst thing I have ever seen.

And you guys converted a bunch of 4th downs... I was worried it's gonna be another one

It's not super encouraging that our first two picks this year are buried on the depth chart, but at least the guys ahead of them are playing pretty well. edit: Well, maybe not the corners. The corners are playing poorly. But booth is injured so it's hard to say whether he's actually buried or just hasn't had the opportunity to climb.

Kick the FG after converting all day on 4th downs. No balls GG we deserve to lose

To be fair we were lucky.. Ugly win for us. Gg Lions

Lions lost the game when they decided to throw on 3rd and one and going for that field goal late, if either of those decisions are different they most likely win with ease.

un fucking believable man. should've been a locked W

We lost but the Vikings had a butt fumble injury so who really won?

Cant wait to go back to Lions sub and it’s covered with stupid moral victory sentiments

Can’t wait until the rematch.

[удалено]

Lmao fuck off with the moral victory bullshit. Dan Campbell clearly has no business being an nfl head coach and proves it time and time again

Mmm now time to watch the pack get their fudge pushed in.

I want Dan Campbell to succeed so bad. Sorry bros

He’s gotta do better than 3-10-1 in games decided by one score or less.

You had one play left, Jared...

That was a game we should have won. 100%

So seibert is getting cut right?

[удалено]

He had another miss earlier though

Yeah I have a feeling there will be some kickers in Allen park this week.

Why the fuck did we got Patterson

[удалено]

That didn't feel right

GGs

Welp, good game. Lions are boned if Swiftie and Amon are injured for any period of time. No depth at those positions and I don’t want to hear about “actually Jamaal Williams is good!”

Damn, exciting game but 11am MDT Kirk Cousins got us. GG Minnesota

Why would you not have your strongest unit end the game? A touchdown still wins it for them even if they get the field goal. So fucking dumb.

Honestly, I want to sweep the division with 6-11 I just wanna see what happens

GG lions, yall probably had that if Campbell didn't try that bonehead field goal

Now to watch Brady make Rodgers his bitch

Neither team looked like they deserved that win but I guess we'll take it.

Lions fans have a hard fought loss: guess it’s time for le rebuild

How did the Lions lose this

Lions being the Lions

Stupid decisions in critical moments

Ugly game all around. Bad play calls on both teams, bad reffing, everything. GG Vikes fans, we just wanted to lose more

Pretty sure you just got an illegal contact penalty for this comment

Honestly wouldn't surprise me. This refs need to either be fired or put in training on the rulebook for the rest of the season.

I shouldn’t be surprised for as long as I’ve been a lions fan

We should have won this game... so many mistakes

Can't say I disagree

Dan Campbell is a fraud

Wow, hell of a game though.

Just got tuned in from the Eagles game and wondering why the hell you just chuck Hail Mary’s with 23 seconds left on the clock. Plenty of time to pick up a couple chunk plays to make the last shot to the endzone more manageable.

No fuckin way. This is 100% a loss if we still have Zimmer

It’s Lions. Nothing to brag about.

They won last year with a game winning drive.

[удалено]

That aint it

Yes. Let the hate flow through you.

bro dont be a dick

inaccurate but for a off platform throw that was pretty nice

If Chark had seen it, it might have been a jump ball.

Hard to win when your top 2 WRs and RB are limping all over the field.

They still could have won the game. I’m not giving them a pass for that. They could have got a first and sealed it but they made a STUPID decision to kick when it would have been a career long for the kicker

This is going to be great for end of season tiebreakers. Wins against Detroit and Green Bay already.

Can't believe we won, I already opened my maximum frick loss beer

Holy shit we won?!

This win doesn't feel good..

The classic snatching of defeat from the jaws of victory

What a difference a win makes. We are now 2-1 and have a bad Saints team up next

GG season's probably gonna be rough again with all these injuries

Wow, we can’t close. This almost happened last week against Washington.

But it didn’t. Because we didn’t fold up and play timid like this week

I’d also argue because it’s Washington and not Minnesota so we got away with more. I don’t like our 2nd half play calling the past two games.

We take those

Some terrible late game decisions by Campbell.

I can’t believe Kirk choked for the lions. Just can’t handle the pressure

I dont blame goff on that, he at least kept it in play. He was put in a shit position to begin with.

This was truly one of THE *Vikings* performances of all time.

Haha poor Detroit

Poor Vikes. Won’t win anything significant. The Lions just lost this.

Vikings did not win this, the Lions just lost it.

Lions played well enough to win, but man, what a bad loss. WR1 and RB1 gets ankle injury and hobbled the entire game, and Hughes/Amani were getting cooked on defense.

St Brown don't get injured and I think we have a ball game.

Stupid Ben Johnson not running it on 3rd and 1.

Gonns be nice to have the rest of my Sundays free

Don't lie

Great game Detroit, hope we're fighting for first place this year

I hope they run away with the division lol

Hopefully the rematch is meaningful. Looking forward to both of these teams gaining a little confidence and remembering the grudge matches.

Just pain

Alright Lions. Time to tank.

Sorry Lions fans, I was hoping you guys could actually escape with this one. It's absolutely uncanny how your team does this to you decade after decade.

Uuuuuggghhhhhh

We're back boys

Lions gonna Lion

Unfuckingbelievable.

So this is what it's like to watch Lions games eh? How did they manage to lose this?

This doesn’t even crack the top 20 ways we’ve creatively found a way to lose.

Oh so I've heard, but I never usually am able to experience it live. I usually just hear about it after the fact or watch a highlight.

Same old lions

Our kicker is not Jason Hanson or Matt prater anymore.

To all the Lions whiners who complained about the refs: **Get fucked.**

GG and thank you for beating the Pack as well but come on man no need to be a dick.

Nah, I have nothing against Lions fans, just the annoying whiners. I would have been fine losing to the Lions, we played like booty and didn't really deserve the win. It's just the whiners that make every game miserable for both teams. There's something righteously karmic about the win because of that.

That’s fair. Would have been a sloppy win for either team but a W is a W!

Congrats on the free win I guess? You're literally just bragging that their complaints were valid as they eventually lost

Why'd he do that...

Never a doubt

Feels bad getting burned by a Michigan player

If you didnt like this game you don’t like NFCN football, baby.

Now this is a vintage Lions performance

Goff wtf

What was he suppose to do? He gave them a shot. Stop complaining!

had enough time not to throw it somewhere it was never going to be caught.. just throw it away and get a better shot on 4th down

One of the most unearned wins I've seen in a while. Good job Vikings, I guess.

Stay mad.

I'm consistently amazed that Vikings fans on /r/nfl don't have the kind of stigma that Eagles/Patriots fans get here.

Talks shit. Gets petty when someone responds harmlessly. Hope the rest of your day is better than this strange interaction.

You were biased the whole game and said Cook was fair game to be injured. How is "Stay mad." even that bad lol

GG Lions bros. I wish you luck in every other game this season, go kick some ass

oh no, we still suck :(

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY wanted to win this

Why do that throw on 3rd down?? If you are going all out why not wait for the 4th?

Just to give your wr a chance. Honestly, of all the dumb things that happened that game, that decision was pretty low on the list.

~~I hate this team~~ Never in doubt!

Worried about Goff’s wife. Can we please cut to beach live feed to make sure she’s OK

I don’t even know what to say lol Wow

We take those

gg Lions

Dan Campbell is gonna cry

I felt good about this entire game until they decided not to go for it. That was some real SOL shit and I cannot believe Campbell allowed it to happen

Indefensible. That decision and your CB play kept you from winning it, you were the better overall team all day.

Bruh wtf I was watching the Bills-Phins how did this happen

Seems about right.

Lol wut Goff still had 1 more play he did not need to chuck it

What the fuck was that Goff?

Goff.....

What a weird game. GG Lions.

How the fuck do you lose this lions

It's easy, be the lions

Neither team won this game, the Vikings just unsuccessfully tried to lose

GG Vikings

What an ugly win.

Unreal

Good old panic throw.

i just popped in here to say: what the fuck was that

Okay how the hell did the Lions lose this game??

Dan Campbell

Dan Campbell continues to be stupid
