[@georgefuller280]

​@justindloski9129 ... When the snow was melting on the Grass Turf at Briggs Stadium 🏟 Tiger 🏟 Stadium, ... the Turf would just get torn to pieces as the playing surface turned to Mud and slushy snow. Do a search for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Oakland Raiders. 1973, '74, or '75, I believe it was. As the snow stopped falling and the light Rain began around Halftime, you could see that footing was going to be very difficult in the 3rd & 4th quarters. The Pontiac Silverdome would later make it possible to ensure a dry Turf for the entire game.

Dan's giving the D props, but to be fair, the D wouldn't have had the energy to do what they did if the O didn't control time of possession as much as they did.

I would be willing to bet neither coordinator leaves us this year. This culture just seems like these guys are having fun and enjoying the game. Coach Campbell made the NFL better. So many teams going for it on 4th, doing more creative/trick plays. Then on top of that you have a guy like Brad in the background making moves. I guess the hardest thing would be turning down the guarantee money, but walking away from all the Love and support to a possible broken system seems very hard. I would think next year the Lions would be better too. Special shout out to our Defense as well, way to step up and play with heart. "You cant bury me when i come from dirt" was awesome line from Amik. Huge game this week for him.

Kind of how I predicted earlier somewhere else, but no matter. They were given a 'meaningless game' against the 9ers, and played everyone and the media went off on them. Talked about how much yardage the defense gave up and how the defense was so weak. Did they not consider that is what they wanted the Vikings to think? They gave up no big plays in the game that mattered. NO TDS in the game that mattered, and still scored over 30.

[@georgelugenalt200]

Yeah, but that was important bc the Forty Ninnies played their best game of the year against the Lions, it felt like a playoff game, like this one did. Tonight Lions D played far better, bottling up the Vikings pass game and stopping most of the runs. Didn't look too great in the first quarter, but they kept sending blitzers and it rattled Darnold pretty good. Go Lions.
