Your shirtless women are much more terrifying than your prepubescent boys or your beardless almost men.

Our Viking women strike terror in your hearts, yes, out of fear they will embarrass you and your pithy skills at pleasing them. they are warriors in every way.

 

 

Why do Viking women sew fur at the bottom of their nightgowns...?

To keep their necks warm at night.

Cornerback Cameron Dantzler has been activated from injured reserve.

Dantzler, a third-round pick in 2020, suffered an ankle injury last month at Washington. He was placed on IR before the game at Buffalo, and he has missed the requisite four games. Dantzler started the first eight games of the season, across from veteran Patrick Peterson. Dantzler sealed a Week Five win over the Bears by taking the ball from receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette.

It’s reported that two of the Lions starting defensive backs, Jeff Okudah and Will Harris, are questionable to play Sunday.

If they can’t go, that is a huge blow to Detroit’s pass coverage and an advantage for Jefferson and the Vikings arial attack. Harris and Okudah combine for 66.3% completion, 875 yards, three touchdowns, eight pass breakups and two forced fumbles.

While Detroit is currently allowing the seventh most passing yards and third most passing yards per completion, they can’t afford to be without starters in the secondary. Especially against the league’s 13th best passing attack in which Jefferson accounts for 29.3% of the Minnesota Vikings arial yardage.

From what our local reporters are saying, Okudah has been battling the flu and it's looking like he'll play. I think Harris has already been ruled out.

Vikings have had players out this week with an "illness" also.

Yeah, it's going around everywhere. 

Our defense has been playing great as of late, including our secondary. I'm a well known Will Harris hater, but I don't think him being out will put a huge damper on what our defense does well. Problem is our backup nickel is Chase Lucas who just got put on IR. I expect Jerry Jacobs to play a ton.

Reposting this from the other thread:

Lions DVOA numbers for the entire season thus far:

13th overall (!!!)

9th on offense (12th in passing, 10th in rushing)

19th on defense (17th in passing, 25th in rushing)

LIONS DVOA SINCE WEEK 9

6TH OVERALL

10TH ON OFFENSE

6TH ON DEFENSE (!!!!!!!!!)

BTW, since week 10, Vikings are last or second to last in every defensive category, in the league.

Detroit Lions inactives:

LB Derrick Barnes

CB Will Harris

G Evan Brown

G Kayode Awosika

DL Austin Bryant

DL Michael Brockers

WR Tom Kennedy

Honestly, Evan Brown is the biggest loss. Harris and Barnes have played better as of late but still not good enough IMO. 

We get Romeo Okwara back. Jameson Williams should finally get some plays. Swift, Chark and Reynolds are all getting better. Amani Oruwariye is back, let's hope the refs don't decide to illegal contact him all game. Okudah will play. 

This is the healthiest we have been all season and it couldn't come at a better time.
