I don't know........the Eagles looked pretty awful last night. I thought after us beating them, they would rebound. But nope, they didn't.The Lions are going to lose to the Eagles on Sunday and then they will be quite and hide in a hole.
Was anyone else pissed when Tirico said the Eagles should of won last week. I liked Charles at least chewing him out for that statement saying how much he hates it when people say that

I actually cheered Chuck for that, usually I just laugh at him.
The Lions are a poor man's Bengals right now.
The Vikings had no business losing this game. I have to give it to the Lions though...they are better this year then in a long time.
The Lions wanted nothing to do with Adrian Peterson. We stopped Kitna in the redzone and Calvin Johnson got away with an obvious push off. Can't complain to much on that though since Randy Moss did that for years in the NFC north. God only knows why Childress decided to throw the ball so much. This game was a W in so many ways for the Vikes.

Jackson looks really raw... man did he throw up some ugly throws.. I wonder if Childress is starting to rethink his throwing this kid into the fire. He will have these bad games.

Or the lions will pound the eagles secondary. And then anyone that didn't pound the Eagles will hide in a hole.
Jackson is raw....we all knew he would be raw. But he has come a long way in a short time and taking him out wouldn't help him or the Vikings long term plan. At this point I think what Jackson needs is experience....not bench splinters. I talk to Jackson some myself, and he is a very hard worker and he is very competitive. I think that if he plays against KC he will do much better. He is beating himself up right now for his mistakes and he is learning from them. Give him some time and I think he will turn out to be the Vikings guy. And I think it was Darren Sharper (oops is that like a dirty word around here now?) who said that he hasn't seen a stronger arm since Farve. And I am sure someone will bring up his accuracy on the deep balls, but that just takes time to develop the right touch on them.
big3 said:yeah. two of those were from our 3rd string QB. i'm sure you don't care about that part though.
Why was your third string QB in?
Was your line that bad that your QBs kept getting beat up?
(see how i'm working this? I'm good)

Cool he seems like a very intelligent kid, and he has all the physical tools to become a player. I guess with the defense returning and a pretty strong running game and line, I won't have guessed they would have thrown him in to learn on the fly. How does his confidence seem with the early struggles?
"Their 3rd stringer didn't come in that I know of. But I know we layed some big hits on their QBs "
J.T. O'Sullivan is our 3rd string qb. Jon Kitna, Dan Orlovsky (injured with turf toe in the preseason), then J.T. O'sullivan. so yes, it was our 3rd string qb that caused 2 of those turnovers (both picks). He was brought in when Drew Stanton (our real 3rd string qb) was put on IR. So when you get right down to it we beat the vikings with our 4th string QB playing half the game. if Kitna doesn't get hurt, it's not even close. and they didn't use Peterson more because he was inaffective. Going to be a long season viking fans. or a great one for lion's fans.
are you talking about longwells missed feild goal? cause hanson missed one too. you guys have been telling lion's fans for years, "what ifs don't matter" the W does. your qb sucks. that is what is hurting you. just like chicago. maybe they will give holcomb a chance soon.
carol k said:Heard on the Minneapolis based fan station today that the Vikings cheated yesterday, and that was said by one of the announcers who was at the game and is a viking fan. Didn't get all of what he said, but did catch those words. He also made the statement that he couldn't tell his son that his team cheated, but his son would probably find out in pre=school today.
What is this with the cheating? First, the Patriots; not the vikings? I have always told my two children and the students whom I taught, that if you have to win by cheating, it isn't a good game.
