ORIGINAL: David Levine Does Gilmore cover anyone ever? We won't be able to stop DET if he plays the whole game(needs a snap count). McGlothern can't be worse. We lost to Detroit on a last second field goal earlier this year WITH Gilmore starting and playing most of the game. I disagree that we wont be able to stop them. Gilmore looks old and I don't see the Vikings bringing him back next year. But this defense as a whole adjusts for him. We held down one of the best big play offenses for 3 1/2 quarters yesterday. I think we can do the same against the Lions. What is going to be this team's undoing is a combination of poor coverage late in games and an inability to bleed the clock late in games. Almost without fail, when we need a clock killing time out burning drive to ice the game, we go 3 and out. It happened once in this game, almost happened a second time, until Akers caught that last pass. Clock management has also been a nightmare. Letting all that time slip off the clock before halftime lining up for a play when you had two timeouts in your pocket? What the holy ****? Seriously, That kind of shit cost us the first Lions game. THAT's where they need to improve the most right now.
