I would like to see Brosmer do well. It would be nice to see the Vikings become QB Central in the next few years, and one of Brosmer or JJ can fetch some draft picks.

Well they got that on forth down with ease.

I like a pressure concept, even if it doesn't work every time.

They have to make sure Goff can't go to his right, make sure there is enough pressure coming from that side.

The Vikings' 'skill' position players need to play with the same do or die mentality that Detroit's are playing.

I think the Lions will win this game. I am hopeful the Vikes give them a game, and squeezing out a win would be the cat's meow.

A true shut down CB
2 Safties
2 starting OLinemen (maybe 3)
starting QB
backup QB
and lastly, depth

He's awful, no pocket awareness.

Status: offline 		The Vikings could have taken control of the game with a FG after the turnover, so the refs called a quick holding penalty on the Vikings OL, whether there was a hold or not.

The preferred outcome is Detroit winning, but not covering the spread.

We will likely see holding on Vikings OL, false starts, and or a turnover in the Lions favor. Anything close will be likely be called in the Lions favor.

Stop blaming the refs. We have negative passing yardage on the day. Brosmer isn't an NFL qb. At all.
