Haven't seen much of anything from the WR 3 position this year. I wonder if Floyd will change this or if the lack of production is a function of the offense.

To be fair, Treadwell should've gotten 2 pass interference calls. 1 absolutely should've been called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would have put the ball at the 1 yard line, the other would've put them down to around the 30 instead of a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assume the PI to put the ball on the 1 would yield a TD, but they could have been stopped, just like the GL stand by Detroit at the end of the game. Detroit scored points on turnovers.

You're right. I never said that I assumed they would score a touchdown, but to say it wouldn't have had an impact on the game is a bit ludicrous. Not only would have put them in two scoring positions, it changes the field position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Sigh... don't bother. there is an 85% chance that a team scores a TD when it has 1st and goal from the 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosing Cook really really sucks. If bradford comes back soon I think they can still be ok. They still have some good weapons and a good defense. It'll be tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Didn't watch the game because I was sleeping due to being stuck working nights. Heard it was terribly officiated in favor of the Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozizaki Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 That game was pretty well and good lost on the play Cook got injured. Detroit goes down the field and scores immediately after and our best offensive weapon leaves in a game we already were without Sam Bradford.

The Gnat Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The only real issue that I had with what the Vikings did, and what I think cost them the game as running one wildcat play, that should just be out of the NFL period at this point. Losing Cook is massive for this team, he was really becoming a solid part of the receiving corp as well as running the ball. Now the key moving forward is Bradford coming back and staying healthy. If he comes back next week, I think the Vikings can be a fringe playoff team, if he misses time, the Vikings will be slightly below .500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, such an unnecessary and untimely play call by Shurmur. It was 7-3 at that time IIRC. Then 7-6 off of that TO, then the Cook injury/fumble made it 14-7 and ball game.
