Crap, look at the sacks that Stafford has taken.  And they let Reiff walk?

Case had played damn good, there is no questioning that.  i dont envy Zimmer’s decision, but i trust him and his staff to make the right call.  

I personally want Bridgewater to go back in if hes’s ready to play, the reason being that he is a proven winner,  Gump, and Case has been winning but with strong tailwinds.  tough tough call.  the funniest thing is, that Bradford might be the best QB on our roster if healthy

Did I read somewhere that Riley Reiff hasn't allowed a sack yet this season? He's my most surprising Viking so far. I guess Remmers and Berger are really good friends.

Yea that stat jumps out at you and think they made Wagner the highest paid RT and paid him LT money, let Reiff walk, and signed TJ Lang who's cap hit is 11 million dollar for a Guard.  All that and they can't run the ball either. 

We have to beat the Lions next time the last 3 times we played them we handed them close games.  I will say the Lions defense is much improved over the last few years.

Thanks Detroit. I really appreciate the job Riley is doing.

Yes, I read that as well.  What a welcome tidbit that is.  Was nervous with the amount of money he got, but then again what do I care.  And now he is like a revaluation to our o-line.  quite leadership, work ethic and solid play.

As well as Case has played, he has left a ton of yards on the field and missed many wide open WRs because he plays a lot like our old #7 by focusing on presnap reads, but he can reopen up on the run. However, he isn't the most accurate.

Other then the stat of Stafford sacks I am surprised by each of these guys yards per attempt.  Well I am most surprised by Carr for being so low because of all the vertical weapons he has and a very good offensive line.  

Some folks discounted Bradford's completion last year of nearly 72% and we all know that was OL related and yet these guys per attempt are lower then what Sam ended up last year.

Stafford is the highest paid player in the NFL and is not a winner.  But we have handed them the last 3 games so we need to turn that tide.  But the fact that the Lions threw that much money at Stafford hurts the rest of the roster - he is not Tom Brady, Rodgers, Bree's material - IMO.
 
Carr is not having a very good year so far.
