Great job Jeff, you just reported to the entire NFL how to punt to Powell
🙄
The lions built their defense around Hutchinson, and there aint no fixing that in 7 days. Sorry Troll boy, but the Vikings are winning this one.
Never trust that sports grandpa guy! he recommended a beer called surly for years and years swearing it was the greatest thing man ever created. I was extremely skeptical knowing that Vikings fans rank in the bottom of nfl drinkers but I decided to try some when I was visiting the state and all joking/trolling aside it was literally the first beer I didn’t finish in my entire life it was horrific. I did buy a 6 pack of before I die for the super cool box and logo and to support the worst Vikings podcast in existence but man don’t trust that old senile bastards judgement it’s sooo bad!
My prediction is Jones plays, Phillips plays, and Hockenson plays. Risner and Cashman out. Jones limited vs. Rams, Cam Akers takes bulk of carries, similar to Niners week.
Hey Judd & Phil, in regard to your punting and punt receiving portion of this episode, Have you ever asked coaches or punters about utilizing the Coffin Corner kick? If the kicker can master this style of kick, you wouldn't have to worry about a return. Why does it feel like no one does this anymore? Greg Coleman was very good at this as I recall. If Judd's curiosity is peaked, please ask this question. it feels like a no brainer solution for pinning the opposition deep in their own territory. Just sayin . . .
This Viking -Lions game is going to be a fight to the death .
Reckless speculation on a Thursday night can the Vikings make a trade for Alvin Tamara!?
You said that right everyone of the players on defense are starters anywhere else
I think we are not considering strength of schedule enough. It may actually be the case that the Lions aren’t that good considering their competition so far. I’m thinking this is more likely a win for the Vikings than not.
I thought it was his bruised hip??
These guys are Debby Downers. Why would they play the game just give to the Lions. There don’t exactly health there selfs. I sometimes these guys but
Vikes will show up. Well coached team.
Is u guys u guys Vikings fans?? Y’all sound like you guys team lions
Jugghead, Mr doom and gloom, what a hack
When will Mackay finally eliminate his permanent pessimism???
Even if we lose, man, let's be positive and I agree to the high scoring pass driven game scenario of Judd.
I love Purple Daily, BUT I dont want these NEGATIVE NANCIES that dont believe in this team to win a Superbowl to jump back on the wagon on Sunday Afternoon after we beat the Lions 31-20. Phil doesnt believe in this team at all, he is just waiting to say, I told you this team wil break our hearts again.
If he’s 80% u play jones. Let him sit for the easier games
Mackey since your worried about darnold maybe we should start mullens would u feel better about that
We’ll need all the weapons we can get on Sunday. If Hock is feeling good, they need to play him against Detroit. Then if he needs to take the Rams game off for extra rest, fine.
Vikings are going all out, winning this game baby
The Lion's passing defense is ranked 27th and that's with Hutchinson… I look for a very big game from JJ…
It may not be primetime, but the Lions-Vikings game will be televised in the vast majority of the country.
If Jones is cleared to play DO NOT sit him. This is a first round bye type of game the Vikings must win
These guys never even mentioned Wayne Fontes
ONE PRIDE! 🦁
There's no bigger game on the regular season schedule (winning increases the odds of playing/winning a postseason game by a lot).
If Minnesota has a lead and the other team is trying to relinquish possession by punting, the coach and captain need to make sure that there are eleven players on the field who understand the rules and who will not do anything stupid.
Be ready to shut down a fake punt, but don't risk muffs, penalties, and fumbles.
It's the coach's fault that Nailor did something so idiotic.
This show sounds scared of the Lions. I hate that. Have some 🥜s and pick your top 3 team to win a big division game. Sheesh
What Happened to Surly Brewing Mackey?😡😡😡
Vikings are not losing a home game this year 💯
Vikings are not losing a home game this year 💯
The lions have a weak secondary. Sammy boy needs to step up and sling the rock, Jones needs to play, this game is for a 1st round bye and home field advantage!
I think most people are brushing past the fact the game vs the jets was played at 830 am in a foreign country in the rain. Darnold will be fine. Dude has battled adversity all season. Every mistake he had bounced back and made big plays when they needed him to
I love the goofy walk-in that Mackey has when he first enters Park Dental. It's as if he's thinking in his head "Man, this is so stupid that I'm getting filmed for this."
25:40 calling Dex ugly!? C’mon man.
Doesn’t matter. Sammy Is going to throw the rock AROUND the yard. Then afterwards I want drone footage of Judd crawling back into his hole.
Detroit didn’t just lose Hutchinson (and maybe Davis for this game) – they also lost another starting DT to IR
So suddenly both teams’ defenses are wracking up injuries
Simple, if any one player is cleared medically and he preforms at a 100% level in practice then he plays this team needs to be 100% available when called upon.
Also it's about having the entire team as close to 100% as long into the season and perhaps the playoffs as you can the old saying is the post season comes down to who's healthy.
This team is 5-0 so every week they stay atop the NFC they are going to have big decisions to make on who plays how healthy they are and how they can keep those players healthy because they are fortunate to have the leeway to do so because they built themselves a lead in the conference.
Mackey you already picked the Lions
Write this down. Lions will score first and the commentators will mention how it is all over for the Vikings because the Lions marched down the field like it was nothing. The Vikings will respond with 40 points and only allow the Lions to have 1 more field goal, leaving the commentators absolutely stunned. O’Connell has worked this game plan for 2 full weeks. He has a response planned for every scenario that the Lions can throw at him. His true genius will come through in this game and he will be the talk of the entire NFL and maybe, just maybe, the Vikings will get some of the respect they deserve. If you want to see what this looks like, watch (or re-watch) the 1987 Vikings/Saints game. My prediction is that this game will end eerily similar to that one.
Why not just play Jones vs Detroit and rest him for the Rams game?
Agreed. We need Jones healthy. He’s vital to our success come January
I’m sorry, you guys are just wrong about this. This is the highest leverage game in the regular season of the century. If Aaron Jones and TJ Hockinson are close, they should play. Winning this game puts the Vikings in the drivers seat to have the number one seed. Sam Darnold can win 2 home playoff games with these weapons and a defense that creates havoc. He is not winning 3 road playoff games in a row. We can afford to drop games in the future as long as we win this game. We will have 2 games in hand on the lions and the lions have a harder schedule coming up. This is THE game to win.
Phil sure loves his Lions huh
The Vikes and Lions future and even the reality check of the first 6 weeks will be defined on Sunday…I.E. I THINK the Lions haven’t been as dominant as the Vikings and I think that Vikes strength of opponents has been significantly better…I believe the key difference is MOST of our “mistakes” were self induced and not the result of pressure or scheme of opponents (like fumbled toss, botched punt, pre snap penalties). All discipline type things that can be easily corrected. I think the Lions are aggressive and physical but not as disciplined. My feelings on Campbell being overly aggressive seem to differ from most. I’m not impressed with going on it and being successful on fourth down… like John Madden said why go on fourth down when you couldn’t do it in the previous three… much like Aaron Rodgers and other quarterbacks being known for comeback, victories, and Hail Marys’s… if they were that great to begin with they wouldn’t be trying desperation moves in the final seconds with a hope, and a prayer that the ball fell their way
I love your guises approach, even though fans will hate it as far as sitting Jones and TJ… people are over hyping this game… overhyping this game is basically for bragging rights, but I would rather be at the strongest as a team and beat the Lions in December and January… the five and our store has afforded us the luxury of giving our players an extra week or two if needed to be 100% and not have a high rate/risk of re-injury because of going back too early
