Vikings fans need to cheer for the Lions this weekend...

**NodakPaul** · 11-25-2008, 09:23 PM

Yeah, I know that the Lions are hosting the 10-1 Tennessee Titans, but it would definately be in Minnesota's best interest for them to pull out a W.

Why?
Because with every loss that Detroit chalks up, they are getting more and more desperate to secure that single W to avoid making history.
After TN, Detroit will be hosting the Vikes.
They will be coming off from the Thanksgiving week, which means that they have 10 days to prepare.
Looking at their remaining opponents (@IND, vs NO, @GB), their best shot to avoid a 0-16 season will honestly be against Minnesota.

And you can bet the Lions know that too.

If the Lions pull one out against the Titans, that will relieve the pressure, and they won't play Minnesota nearly as hard.
Come on Honolulu Blue!
I will be cheering for you on Turkey Day!

I hear exactly where you're coming from but if we lose to these lions under any circumstances we deserve to miss out on the playoffs

The last time Minnesota traveled to Detroit to take on a winless Lions team was in 2001.
It was week 13, just like this year.
The Lions won 27-24.

I do NOT want to see history repeat itself.

Then try the following:

- kidnap Childress and Bevell and hold them for ransom until the game is over.

-Get any drunken homeless wino to take their place and we will be fine.

No it was Bouman in that game ... and going into the game we were 5-7 and still had an outside shot of getting somewhere.
We had killed the Titans the week before and looked like we could get to 8-8 or even 9-7 and maybe sneak in ... and then we were the team that got embarrassed by losing to the Lions.
You ALWAYS have something to play for when playing a winless team ... you don't want to be their win.

**happy camper** · 11-25-2008, 10:43 PM

Not buying it.

**midgensa** · 11-25-2008, 10:45 PM

And fuck no ... I don't want the Lions to win a damn game ... unless topping the Packers the last week gets us in or knocks them out ... I will actually root for G.B. I would love to see and 0-16 Lions team.
