Just checked the Tigers score, they are down 1-0 in the 1st. Figures. I DESPISE the Twins and their Hellhole of a dome...
FOX runs a promo for the MLB playoffs. Did you know the only teams playing are the Yankees and Red Sox? Screw it, back to football.
Lions will receive the 2nd half kickoff, but we have to hear more FOX Favre love in the meantime. Ugh...
Brown takes the kick back to the 27. Stafford want to throw...Allen blows up Stafford...BALL! Lions recover at their 22. Replays show Backus let Allen through UNBLOCKED. He's going to get the rookie killed...
Stafford to throw on 3nrd and long...SACK. 4th and 21, I think the Lions will punt, don't you?
Vikings return the punt 14 yards, and are in Lions territory. Suddenly, I don't have a very good feeling about the Lions...
Peterson gets 3, but should have been stopped for 1, as he shrugged Julian Peterson off of him like a fly.
Favre to throw on 2nd down...Hunter blocks the pass! 3rd and 7.
Favre to throw...SHIT. It's Harvin at the 34 for the 1st. Vikings are driving, I'm breaking out in a cold sweat.
It's Berrian on a screen, gets 7 more. But the Vikes lose 5 on a false start. I'll take it. 2nd and 8.
Favre to throw...BLITZ! Loins bring damn near everyone, throws it up for grabs, incomplete as Henry had good coverage.
Favre to throw again...Lions BLITZ again...throws it up again...Manuel with tight coverage...incomplete. FLAG? You gotta be kidding, illegal contact on Manuel? Bullshit.
Peterson will run, breaks back, Favre with a block...gets the corner...BIG HIT...and Peterson takes his helmet off to jaw with the Lions. Uh, where's the FUCKING FLAG? He took his helmet off! superstar call, I guess.
Peterson up the gut...BALL! Shit, it bounced right back to him. 3rd and 5, Lions almost got a turnover.
Favre on a slant...ARRRGH! Delmas should have had a pick. Shit. But it's 4th down.
Longwell nails the chip shot, it's 10-10. The Vikings got several calls and breaks on the drive, the Lions, as usual, don't get either..
Brown will take the kickoff...has a SEAM...damn, he almost broke it, but was taken down at the 29. Brown was thisf'nclose to breaking a long return...
Smith gets 4 up the gut. On 2nd down, Smith on a sweep right...hit...FACEPALM. Here we go with the "Same old Lions" bull shit. Smith puts the ball on the turf, Vikes recover at the 27, and you can feel the emotion exit out the doors of Ford Field. This isn't looking good.
Fuck the Lions, and fuck me for being a fan.Fuck Smith too, while I'm at it. Crap...
It fucking figures. Peterson takes the handoff, bounces it outside, and out runs the Detroit defense to the end zone. Just. Like. That.
PAT is good, Vikings are up 17-10. Kill me now. I'm beginning to hate life and the Lions again. //checks Tigers, still losing 1-0// Yep, it's official. I HATE all things Minnesota. Well, save for Prince and the Revolution...
Vikings have scored 17 unanswered points. I gues the 10-0 lead was nothing but a dream, and I'm back in Kansas, Toto...uh, back in Michigan.
Lion take the kickoff to about the 20. Smith is running with purpose, trying to make up for the turnover, as 2 hard runs have the Lions a 1st down at the 34.
Stafford to throw...short drop...BIG PRESSURE...and is lucky to throw it out of bounds. 3rd and 10.
Stafford will throw again, looking for Johnson...but CJ has to make a diving catch, and was shot of the sticks to boot. He might have had a chance if the throw was on the money, rather than at Megatron's feet.
I'm beginning to really hate life...
Vikes ball at the 29 after a Harris punt.
OK, that's good, Lions stuff Peterson for no gain. Favre tries a screen, Lions blow it up for a 4yard loss. Favre tries to pass again...looks...looks...holds it...SACK! Lions get the 3 and out.
Now if the offense can do SOMETHING, as the defense is actually playing well enough to win. Really, they are...
Lions 1st and 10 at the 37. Smith puts his head down, powers his way for 7. Smith with 5 more off tackle. He's really running with a purpose right now.
Play action, Stafford to Heller for 8. Lions are moving the ball. Need 7 guys.
Smith off left tackle...BOOM. Stuffed for no gain. 3rd and a couple.
Stafford takes the snap...and rolls out right? He rolls...rolls...rolls...THROW THE DAMN BALL! Which he does, well out of bounds, no one was open. Lousy fucking call, especially with the Lions running the ball so well.
Vikes will let the quarter run out with the ball deep in their own territory after another Harris punt.
With 15 minutes left, the Vikings hold a 7 point lead, 17-10.
I'm NOT happy.
