Goff just stood and copped a hit on a 4th and 5. 

What a play.

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

Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

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

Going to be tough for the Vikings now ... trailing 9-24 early in the 4th

Need to score a TD on this drive

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

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

Dan Campbell in his post game said to Kevin O'Connell "See you in two week..."

McVay and the Rams...

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

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.

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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
