The Lions are banged up on defence but their offense puts enormous pressure on whoever they are playing ... both physically and mentally Edit: And right on cue the Vikes stop the Lions and gain excellent field position after the Lions were forced to punt it away Edited January 6 by Macca 1 Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Vikes go for it on 4th down and come up short ... and against the free-scoring Lions, that can be the mindset Teams have to match TD's with TD's against Detroit 1 Quote
Gorgoroth 13,216 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Well a tipped ball turnover and now the Vikes have it at the 7 Quote
Gorgoroth 13,216 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 And that should have been a pick to the Lions! Quote
Gorgoroth 13,216 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) Lions D hold in the 5 again!!! Goff picked after a horrible throw. Edited January 6 by Gorgoroth Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Going to be tough for the Vikings now ... trailing 9-24 early in the 4th Need to score a TD on this drive Quote

Macca 17,127 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) Congratulations to @Go the Biff for winning the tipping comp! Well done, GtB! You are now a 2 time winner joining the other 2 time winners ... @Gorgoroth @Clintosaurus &@DeeSpencer It was a close encounter all season long but you kept gaining points week in, week out. And that's what won it for you And it went down to the last match of the season where @titan_uranus would have got up with a Vikings win But for the victor, go the spoils! More details later on, including some info on the post season tipping comp and the 'Hall of Fame' But just a heads up on the post season comp (while I'm here)... we should be able to get enough starters as I'm assuming we're all going to be watching the playoffs Week 1 ... 1 point per win (Home or Away) plus a bonus point for the correct margin (1-6, 7-12 & 13+) Week 2 ... 2 points per win plus 2 bonus points for each correct margin Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for each correct margin Week 4 (Super Bowl) ... 5 points plus 5 bonus points for the correct margin Leaderboard Tipping Comp (Final) 43 - @Go the Biff (Winner and Gold Medalist) 38 - @Dr. Gonzo @JV7 @titan_uranus (Silver Medallists) 37 - @Clintosaurus (Bronze Medal). 36 - @layzie 34 - @Gorgoroth 33 - @BDA 32 - @DeeSpencer@DemonDave 31 - @Macca 29 - @ElDiablo14 And just a reminder on how the (virtual) medals are allocated... there's no 1st, 2nd or 3rd per se, just the most amount of points, the 2nd most points and the 3rd most points That tradition was started 12 years ago and there is no real reason to change things Edited January 6 by Macca 5 Quote
JV7 2,375 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 @Macca goes without saying each year but thanks once again. Makes the season that more interesting! Bring on the post season! 3 1 Quote
Go the Biff 3,474 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) Cheers Macca. Thanks for running this. As JV7 said, it makes the season so much more interesting. Particularly when your own team is stinking it up. Bring on the finals. Reckon it's gonna be wild this post season Forgot to mention, really enjoyed the revised points system with more points on offer. Made things a bit more dynamic Edited January 6 by Go the Biff Forgot to mention 4 Quote

Close enough to a line ball game according to the bookies ... Vikings -1.5 @ Rams +1.5 Other favourites Chargers -3.0 @ Houston Tampa Bay -3.0 vs Washington Eagles -4.5 vs Packers Buffalo -9.0 vs Denver Baltimore -10.0 vs Pittsburgh Quote
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Yep thanks Macca, a bit of fun that makes the season that much more enjoyable. Can't believe the season is done already, feels like it flies by. Hoping the Lions can win the SB but would be fine with anyone except Buffalo, KC and Pittsburgh. 1 1 Quote
Gorgoroth 13,216 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I read that Hurts is still in concussion protocol. He has missed the last two games. Could be critical and also a few weeks off even if he plays how does that affect him? He wasn’t in perfect sync prior to this so, be an interesting watch. Quote

I saw a tweet which said he can't exit the protocol until attending practice on Wednesday, I'd expect him to be playing this week. 1 Quote
