ESPN: Vikings-Lions Week 18 Will NOT Matter for the 1-Seed or Division... Whatever. Jabronis.

I prefer that the national media are disrespecting this team again. We got too much love from them when we're 5-0. Now, many national media people don't think we're for real. Good!

[@AntonColey]

@@Bluboy30 Yeah I’m confident. I am the same person saying how Detroit will continue their success from last year and win the division again. I’m confident enough to put my money where my mouth is. That’s why I got a few bets going. The suspect interior o line/inconsistent offense and the just let it fly defense is gonna be the reason why they’ll fail in the end. The offense will let them down before the defense is my guess. It’s not like the fans will be too upset or anything. Like they always say “there is always next year.” Suspect Trenches = Suspect Playoff hopes.

[@atownhataz]

Don’t read into it. They also had the Vikings to have the worst record in the league.

[@henryflemming]

It’s a fact the Lions are playing much better than we are right now. However we just need them to drop one game before week 18 and us win out for the Division and Home field advantage

[@Bennyandthesets313]

As a Lions fan I don't get the hate on you guys and us? It's like they want a reason GB is the best.

[@Romacitta]

The Vikings have shown they are capable of blowing *any* lead going into the 4th quarter. I'm sick of it. Yes, the squeaking by teams shows resilience on the Vikings part, but it also shows an inability to finish teams off.

Bears on a short week, Packers, Bills on a mini bye, Bears and 49ers. They realistically could drop 2 games in there going into week 18. All in division games have been close for all the teams except first Packers and Lions match up. None of this matters unless the Vikings take care of their own business

[@000JonnyBoothworthy]

@@GiovannisDaedra scenarios will work themselves out I do believe it like you say IF we take care of business... They are due for a loss or 2 either way they've been beating themselves up it will show soon week 18 could be our show but even if not wildcard Vikes can do just as much if not more damage

Horse manure by ESPN. When the Minnesota Vikings keep pace with the Lions till week 17, they can win the NFC North Division in Detroit. Detroit has Buffalo on their schedule. The Vikings and Lions can be at 14-2 going into their last game at Ford Field.

Vikings have 4 easy games in a row coming up. Lions have the Thanksgiving Curse game against Chicago, Packers and Bills coming up. With 3 NFC North teams vying for position, it’s going to mean something.

Dude, if ifs were fifths, you’d be wasted! If you have trouble beating the bears, you’ll have even more against the lions.

Lions have every tie breaker on MN (in every situation they end up tied) except for division tiebreaker if they drop a game to Chi/GB.

[@HewNandol]

Thanksgiving right around the corner >:)

[@patrickharty9214]

The Vikings should have won against the Lions. The Vikings stripped the ball from the Lions near the red zone in the fist half of the game. That alone would've solidified the game for them. The officials let them keep the ball. All you have to do is look at the film to know. In addition to that, there was the "Roughing the passer" call on the Vikings but not on the Lions in the first half in the exact same situation that changed momentum twice in favor of the Lions. I felt rage for what the NFL was doing to rig this game. The next time they play, they have to put the Lions away and not let the officials determine who will win.

[@jacobmorehouse5059]

Behind all those “what if’s” the pick before half doesn’t matter when the play was blow dead😂

[@giraffezebra2698]

There are bad calls in every game. Depending on who your team is, some are worse or more important than others. My problem is the lack of consistency. One crew calls holding, roughing the passer and PI over every little thing, some let them play.

[@kurokitsune17]

And you should have lost to the bears. Doesn't change the fact that you struggled against teams Lions destroyed. And your 1 example of Houston is that Lions threw 5 interceptions and still came back and won.

[@richardfox5110]

Before the Lions choke job in the NFC championship last year, they had won one playoff game in the last 60 years. If in the future you make it to four Super Bowls, even if you lose them all, at least you would have some kind of respectability. The Vikings have been to 10 NFC championships Winning four of them . The lions have been to two NFC championships and lost both of them .The Vikings have 21 division titles since 1967 and the Lions have 4. Minnesota has beaten Detroit 80 times in 125 games in their history. That’s about a 35% winning percentage for the Lions . How pathetic😂 …Yet you delusional lion fans are on here trolling on a Viking site trolling about how great the lions are and how crap the Vikings are. You should be ashamed. Go troll on the Lions podcasts.

[@robertmetz3547]

Oh ya scoring 52 on both the jags and the titans means nothing is not like you barley scraped a win against those same jags and titans but the lions scoring 104 points on the same teams you scored 35 on totally irrelevant got it

[@mikehawk3472]

"They (lions) hold the second tiebreaker too" which is 100% dependent on the first tiebreaker(head to head) since the vikings only divisional loss is to the lions. Meaning a W18 win would have them tied in the first two tiebreakers, but we'll just pretend that we dont understand how that works.

[@LemonInYourEyes]

The fact that their only loss is against tb is a problem. We never play tb meanwhile our losses are H2H and against the rams (who the lions beat). We need some help if we want the division.

[@mikehawk3472]

@LemonInYourEyes i get all that, im just saying if you write for espn you should be able to summarize that in a way that explains the situation, not misleads the audience into thinking its set in stone.

He may have written that "the Vikings have a higher chance of slipping some time later this season than the Lions", but his tone was "the Lions are perfect, the Vikings will lose somewhere I'm just not gonna specify so I can still call it speculation". Enough is enough. Vikings and Vikings fans do not need any national media respect because it's never going to be genuine anyway. The Lions sucked for literally decades...and it took a mere year and a half of being good for the media to put them on a pedestal. Vikings franchise has a top 5 winning percentage all-time...can't even get respect for 5 minutes. We're better off remaining off the radar.

Ya, Lion's fan here. I have no idea where they get 4%. Vikings are a very good team and there isn't a whole lot of difference between 10-1 and 9-2, and at this point and the opponents closing the year for each team are about even. As long as the teams remain healthy we might see the Lions, Vikings, and Packers in the playoffs. That would be cool. Must say, hoping the Lions take it though.

[@MichSports]

Lions fans can play the what if game too. If Montgomery doesn't fumble, the game isn't even close. Here's the rub....the Lions offense has continued to be a top 3 unit in the league. The defense has improved and been one of the best units in the last month. The Vikings are a good team, but you making it seem like the national media is out there gassing up the Lions like it's unwarranted. If they handle their business, we will see you in week 18.... 🤷

[@waitaminute7257]

Vikings fan but honestly I don't think week 18 is going to matter for the division title. Vikings make the playoffs but they're going to lose a couple more along the way and will be too many games back of the Lions by week 18.
