    Thankfully I was dead wrong about yesterday's game (I had it picked as the game they would tank). Shutting down the best offense in the league is huge, Case continues to fight for his job, Thielen is playing lights out. (Sidenote, he is from the same town of 9000 people that I live in) - but going to Detroit makes me nervous, they always seem to have our number.

    Jay that is a beautiful part of the state, I used to go to a resort out on Lake Melissa every Memorial and Labor day weekend as a youth. I remember as a kid there was a bait shop in Downtown Detroit lakes that had a front window with big ice trays in it and people would bring their big fish in to display.

    No team has ever been swept by the Lions and gone on to win the Super Bowl that season, just saying.

    Beautiful in the summer - a deep freeze in the winter . I've only lived here for 13 years but I do believe that bait shop is still there.

    Yeah I will be watching the game surrounded by viking fans, perhaps if I piss them off bad enough they will throw me out and I can sneak home and go sit in a tree.

    Hopefully Sota doesn't get pissy about me posting "fantasy football stat crap before the end of the season"

    You always find a dagger to rip through my heart.

    Honest opinions... Did you think the refs were trying to give the game to the Lions?? There were some insane missed/called penalties against the Vikings.

    From my eyes as a hardcore Vikes fan it seemed the refs did everything in their power to give favor to Detroit.

    The taunting call was spot on, Case hit the player with the ball. I don't want to hear complaining about the non reversal of calls. When the officials call a catch a TD the replay has to show irrefutable evidence to reverse the call if the camera angle does not show that the call will not, can not be reversed. viking fans always feel that the refs are against them, the TV announcers are against them etc.

    So how about Adam Thielen? Seems like he's the new Jordy Nelson... Except he has Case Keenum throwing to him... and he's better :lol:

    Easy now Jake, I will not deny that Adam is very good but lets let the season finish up before we hand out awards.

    I can't see Zim trusting the kicker at this point.
