The Vikes start the quarter with Favre wanting to throw deep...OH SHIT! Rice has a step, and makes the catch at the 5! Christ, I HATE this team.
2nd and goal, play actions, Favre rolls left...the TE, Dugan, is WIDE FUCKING OPEN. Too easy of a TD. As the Lions are down to playing guys off the street at DB, I'm not surprised.
On the PAT, the Lions have 12 men on the field.
Fuck us all.
Vikings lead, 24-10.
It's time.
Time for what, you ask?
Game over, man. Game over.
But there's still over 12 minutes left in the game, so play continues.
The Lions get one 1st down on the drive following the Vikings' TD, but have to punt. FOX breaks out the stats, Stafford is being sacked, hit or hurried on close to 70% of his throws. To drive the point home, Stafford short arms a 3rd down throw while under pressure.
Nice punt by Harris pins the Vikes inside the 15. Small victories are about all I can watch for at this point.
You gotta be kidding me! Now Kalvin Pearson goes down, he's DB number 4 out. Is there anyone left on the bench to throw to the wolves...er...Vikings?
Favre to throw...it's Harvin near the marker, circles around....HE'S HIT...but Levy doesn't wrap up, and Harvin has nothing but green carpet in front of him! He's finally run out of bounds, 40 yards downfield.
Levy went for the highlight reel knockout, and ended up getting jack shit. They're called fundamentals for a reason, rookie.
Favre hits another long pass to get the Vikes into the red zone. Whatever. They're going to score, be it a TD or FG. It's fucking moot.
Lions' D stiffens, as Buchanon stops Peterson on 3rd and long....then he limps off the field, another DB banged up. Jeebus, just get the game over before we start seeing linemen playing safety!
Longwell drills the FG, Vikings go up 3 scores, 27-10.
When will the misery end?
It's a rhetorical question. I know it'll NEVER end.
On 3rd and long, Stafford steps up in the pocket as he's under, what else, an intense pass rush...and it's a nice catch by Pettigrew to get the 1st down. Clock running, under 7 minutes left in the game. Lions should just throw the white flag, as they are getting beat to piss, physically.
Lions will go for it on 4th and 4 from their 44. We get a close up of Stafford, who looks disheveled as all get out. Considering the beating he's taken from the Vikings, I'm surprised the rookie is still standing.
Of course, he short arms the 4th down pass, turning the ball over on downs. Christ...
I'll cut him a little slack, as the kid has to be shell shocked by this point. For the next week, Stafford will run for his life whenever he sees something purple...
The Vikings call off the dogs, as Tavaris Jackson takes over for Favre. He leads to Vikes on a 3 and out.
This game has been over for quite some time, but the NFL requires you play for 60 minutes. Time to implement a mercy rule, you think?
The Lions offense is on the field, but it's all in futility. All they are doing is getting Stafford hit, play after play after play. The kid is running for his life on a bad knee. I'm not sure it's worth the extra "experience" at this point, when all Stafford is doing is getting his ass punished every time he touches the ball.
Stafford tries to hit Johnson deep over the middle, but the ball goes right through his hands. Megatron is just going through the motions. Not good.
The Lions end up turning the ball over on downs. Yea?
2 minute warning. Please speed up the clock!
There's one bright spot today. Stafford has thrown the ball 51 times, but zero picks. After the 5 pick horror, that's progress. I'm not going to pin much blame on Stafford for the loss. If anything, the rookie proved he's willing to stand up under pressure, and throw the ball while taking a great deal of punishment.
Again, it's not much. But I'll take what I can get.
Come on! The Lions are taking their time outs. Wonderful, drag out this fucking game even longer. It's already run well long, as it's 4:21 PM as I write this.
Finally! The Vikings are taking a knee. That's going to be the game. I'm calling it...
Correct answer: N O
Lions lose to the Vikings 27-10, a game which shouldn't have been even that close.
I can't wait for next Sunday, when the Lions take on the Browns...in a battle for the first overall draft pick.
If you couldn't sense the sarcasm, you haven't been reading TWFE long enough.
