  4. darnold is an honest suprise, but the vikings were always a strong threat to us lions fans. Lions vikings will be a great game to watch. MCDC is doing exactly what lions fans want. This is why he got the job, and why he has been winning. I hope he doesnt stop. We expect to lose some of these aggressive moves, but what if he keeps winning? Stay the course!

  6. I believe the Lions are the better team and would win 8 out of 10 games even with the banged up defense (some guys are soon to be back). The Vikings are a good team and whoever they face in the playoffs is going to be a hard fought game.

    Personally I think in NFC it’s:
    1 Lions
    2 Eagles
    3 Vikings
    4 Packers
    5 Washington (still cannot get used to Commanders name)
    But any team can be upset so it could wind up with a team like the Rams making it to the dance #any given Sunday

  11. Any given Sunday (or Monday, sometimes Thursday, a rare Saturday). We Lions fans have decades of disappointment but we aren't a laughing stock anymore and the Lions as a whole (and not just Barry or Megatron) are fun to watch and win or lose (I really hope for a Lions win) I suspect we will get an exciting game.

  14. I'm a Vikings fan we are legit. The NFC is gonna be a dog fight. GB and Detroit are obviously very good. Tampa is well coached. the Rams aren't slouches either. And Philly. Plenty of good teams all with QB's

  19. Respect to the Lions they deserve a season like they are having but as a Vikings fan its crazy to me that people make it seem like the Lions and the Packers are on top of the division. I don't know if everyone forgot this but the Lions barely beat us and we beat Green Bay. Now we still have to play them again and maybe we lose, who knows but as of right now we are one of the top teams in the NFL. You can say well we struggle against teams that we should have steam rolled and that is true but this is the NFL. The record of a team doesn't always reflect how good a team is. The Chiefs barely beat the Raiders and the Panthers. The Rams beat us but they also, just beat the Bills. The Bills are a great team and they beat the Chiefs but struggled against Miami. The Ravens lost to the Browns. I could go on and on about this but lets just stop questioning if the Vikings are a legit team.

  23. One year removed from being perennial doormats, it amazes me how quickly Lion fans have morphed into becoming entitled Packer fans………😂

  24. The NFC's top three teams are 32/7. GB lost to the Lions twice, Minnesota once, and the Vikings lost to the Lions once. Any one of those teams could win the Super Bowl.

  27. The Falcons are garbage. Kirk Cousin is a turnover machine. The Vikings aren’t winning anything as long as the Lions run the NFC. The Lions will get all their injured players back in a couple weeks. The only thing that will stop the Lions is injuries.

  29. Hate the narrative that the Vikings aren’t fr bc darnold is their qb, oh u mean the guy with 28td and 3300 yards thru 13 games like he’s literally been a top 3 nfc qb all year and out playing Goff, hurts, and all other qbs that are supposedly the difference makers for their teams

  30. As a Lions fan, it's easy to see who the threats are based solely on records. MIN to me is the bigger threat along with the Eagles simply because MIN is a threat not only in the conference but in the division. B9th teams have only 2 losses, Lions as good as they've been only have a 1 game cushion. The last game with MIN at Det could possibly be for the division, and maybe even decides the 1 seed. I don't think Det fans for the most part overlook MIN, we beat them at the buzzer in their house so it wasn't a seriously convincing win. On paper though, the Eagles give me more concern especially with our banged up D but hopefully by the time we would have to face off against the Eagles we get some of the troops back on D.

  32. Vikings’ market value has tripled! That should allow Vikings afford to at least double every Viking’s pay, including all the coaches and Coordinators for the next ten years!

  33. If the pack and bears don’t lie down to the Vikings, the Lions should win the division. ( let’s not forget about the zebras )

  35. It’s definitely is out of the realm on possibly the vikings get 1 seed I don’t see the lions giving it up the bills lost to the rams and the niners aren’t the same team
