Fireside Chat: Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings

Found December 12, 2011 on The Lions In Winter:
TEAMS: Detroit Lions,  Minnesota Vikings

A minor technical snafu (I didn't press record right away) chopped off the intro and the first minute or so, but here's this week's Fireside Chat. A strange and bizarre-feeling win, but . . . yes, a win. Subscribe (and rate!) via iTunes if you are an iTunesy person like myself.

Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions: 4th quarter running diary

Via Wayne Fontes  |  December 11, 2011
The 4th quarter starts with a nicely designed fake reverse into a screen to Williams. 1st down at the Vikes' 23. Now there's a horse collar! 15 yards! Even the blind could see this penalty... Lions 1st and 10 at the Vikes' 12! Williams bursts off tackle, 8 yards! 3rd and 2. But he's stuffed on 3rd down for no gain. Lions go for it on 4th and 1 from the 2. Nope...

Detroit Lions escape historic collapse

Via isportsweb.com  |  December 11, 2011
I can’t honestly say that I have ever been more frustrated watching a sporting event than I was watching the second half of the Lions-Vikings game on Sunday. The Lions controlled the first half of the game, forcing four turnovers and scoring 31 points.  They built a 17 point lead at halftime and looked comfortably in control of the game.  The Vikings even benched quarterback...

Haye was signed by Detroit late Thursday night last week and played against Minnesota on Sunday. Despite only playing seven snaps, Haye had two tackles, but was still released by the Lions on Tuesday. Suh returned from his two-game suspension yesterday and will play against...

Schwartz would be surprised if Lions' Suh causes more trouble

Via NFL.com  |  December 13, 2011
Ndamukong Suh, the linchpin of the Detroit Lions defense -- and the player most responsible for the team's growing "bad boy" reputation -- rejoined the Lions on Monday following his two game suspension for stomping on a Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Nov. 24.

Game Thread: Vikings vs. Lions

Via Purple Jesus Diaries  |  December 11, 2011
Clean off your Saturday hangover, girl scouts, it's the Purple Jesus Diaries Game Thread! Join us today as the Minnesota Vikings travel to play the Detroit Lions sans our heavenly figure, but WITH a quarterback who's got a gimpy hip. Probably from thrusting too hard, in a girl of all things, while he wasn't wearing a shirt. How awesome. It figures to be a real ugly game...

Jim Schwartz Says Lions Committed Facemask Foul On Final Play Vs Vikings

Via GridironFans.com  |  December 12, 2011
Sure, the Detroit Lions will acknowledge they caught a break when linebacker DeAndre Levy grabbed Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joe Webb's on the final play in Sunday's game. The Lions held on to beat the Vikings 34-28 after avoiding a flag on Levy that would have given Minnesota one more shot to win with no time on the clock. "We grabbed the facemask," Lions coach...

QB Christian Ponder likely to start this week against New Orleans Saints

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  December 13, 2011
Rookie QB Christian Ponder was a game-time decision at the start of their game on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, perhaps he should have sat for the game with the starting nod going to QB Joe Webb. Now it appears that Chrisitan Ponder will once again get the starting nod for the Minnesota Vikings this week when they host the New Orleans Saints. Ponder threw three interceptions...
