Trivia question- Who was the team we played against in our "home" game at ford field in 2010?
Well well well. Won't this be fun! Last year's two games against the Lions sure were. First one we were up 20 and they came back and won in OT (see link below). McNabb was our QB... ACK! Seems like 10 years ago!
The second game we started out awful in Ponder's worst game ever probably. He had 3 INTs and a fumble, they lead directly to two TDs. Then WEBB came in and scored on a 60+ yard scamper and drove us to a first and goal down 6 with under a minute left. We failed a play or two then they face masked him for a fumble that they recovered 50 yards back. We should have had another first and goal... oh well.
Cue the benny hill music. Who needs replacement refs?
Everyone is wondering about STAFFORD and MEGATRON... if Matthew is playing, if they'll light us up. I have no idea. We did pretty good against Crabtree, Moss and V. Davis last week though. I am sure many Viking fans are starting both of them on their stupid fantasy team though. I hope they don't do well. We are playing more man and our safeties this year, though not great, are a lot more consistent. (And getting better every week) They'll still have some miscue- some guy will beat us over the top and the safety will arrive late but... let's not hope it's for a game winning TD or FG like last time. Remember when they found Megatron on the long completion in OT last year. Ouch
I hope we can string 4 quarters of offense, defense and special teams together. We are a team built for a physical game, a possession game, a bend but don't break defense that occasionally can make the big play. This game will come down to big plays and field goals. Let's hope this isn't the game where Ponder throws his first INT or WALSH misses his first FG.
What do you guys think? I think it's anyones game. It will be close no matter what they have been year in and year out. I hope AP has a big game, he AVG 99 yards and has 8 TDs vs them, he also loves turf and playing indoors. Also let's not forget we have JEROME SIMPSON back. He'll be good for 5 for 80 I bet. (I hope)
tee hee
Jared Allen also likes to play the Lions. In 13 games he has 9 sacks. Not bad. He's a turf guy too. (54 sacks on turf vs 51 on grass in 20+ less games) Our only other road - day - turf game this year was in INDY, we started out awful. Hopefully Ponder and Company won't repeat that. Hell let's see some razzle dazzle. Do a hurry up for no reason. Do a reverse WR option, run WEBB in a wild cat. Pressure is on Detroit for this one. Let's have some fun go in there and get the W!
SKOL!
I want to see this 4 times
