In the second half, yes.

In the first half, no.

The Chargers and Bucs did the exact same thing against Minnesota. I do not think the Lions defense is good enough personally for them to be a contender. Secondary is still unimpressive and their linebackers did not look so great either. Mcnabb just offers no vertical threat. Everything is a run or a short pass. fricking flat offense.

This was a trap game for the Lions and the Vikes were playing with their backs to the wall, i wouldn't put much into it.

Huh? The Lions are not much better than the Vikings. I know you will just point to their record, but the Vikings have led over like 95% of the season. Vikings have a superior defense and running game. They just keeping fricking up in the second half.

Run the football. You have the best running back in the league. He's not being paid to carry the ball 17 times.

I agree. Unfortunately, they did this in weeks one and two and lost. I just do not know how they keep doing this.

Yeah what i'm saying is all the circumstances favored the Vikings they had to have this game, so i think the Lions got their best shot but the Vikes didn't get Detroit's best.

They each looked good for 30 minutes apiece. I do not if would say that either team peaked today. Honestly, this is a pretty even matchup. Detroit should be favored by 3 at home (scratch pick at a neutral site).

I guess, but the only thing they are preserving is their winless record.

They go up against Arizona and KC the next two weeks. Curious to see what happens.

Someone ranked them 15th in the NFC last week. Clearly, they have never watched them play. I think Minnesota is better than the NFC West (not saying much) and Carolina. Not sure about Washington and Dallas. I also think they are on par with Tampa, Chicago, and Detroit.

KC has to be the worst team in the league this year bar none.
