Great comment. Nobody in the national media, including former players, puts much stock in that. It's always statistics, including a lot of nonsense stats. This team is different.
The Vikings really didn't even try though. They've also been known to pass the ball in the RedZone all season long and the Lions were just ready for it.
In one breath he said OConnell was probably coach of the year while telling us he just got out-coached. Dan Campbell has to be coach of the year. Who else wins 15 games with more than half your defense injured? Not even close.
To be fair to Sam darnold, the pocket was collapsing around him in the Red zone as well. So he was throwing out of rhythm or while being chased quite a bit. He was also hit 10 times in this game and pressured far more. Most quarterbacks, if not all quarterbacks, would struggle in that situation. Situation. I'm a Lions fan by the way so I'm not making excuses for Sam. Just giving reasons why he was likely off.
How Anzo and Amik don’t get graded the highest on the defense is why pff makes zero sense and they have to admit their grading system is extremely flawed.
Yes, Darnold was bad. But Jefferson two drops, Hockensen one drop or two, Van Ginkel dropped what would have been a pick six. I'm willing to blame Darnold and I think he had a very poor game but the route running wasn't good. Help your QB when he is struggling by getting open.
Lions did this to fourteen other teams, so relax. Vikings need a threatening running game besides Aaron Jones, you see what happens when he's not available. Defense understandably got worn down.
Gibbs is so game-changing. It's hilarious to think people questioned him being a top 15 pick. Is there 5 players drafted last year better? I can't think of em. He's an absolute stud
Plain and SIMPLE!! Aaron Glenn RATTLED DARNOLD so much that "Darn Old " Darnold showed up..... inaccurate and mistake prone under pressure, when he cannot hold the football!! Master plan by a guy, who has half the starters on defense on IR. So... Please don't give ANY EXCUSES!! Lions are THE BEST TEAM and THE BEST COACHED TEAM. Vikings are NOT IN THE SAME LEAGUE, or even close!! Sorry " FAKINGS"!
Amik was a dawg in this game and he didnt crack the top 5 for PFF???? Thats as bad as Kirby getting snubbed for the Probowl!!! Cant watch you anymore dude!!! Trash!!
That Amik Robertson line goes so hard: "They tried to burry me. But you cant burry what comes from the f***ing dirt."
god damn dude that is a line. I love this team!
I’m looking forward to some more of quotes like that from Amik. What a confident game.
Are you kidding??? Jefferson gets only 3 catches, that is a major win!
80.8 tackling grade for him!
PFF grades = PFFT. Amik and Gibbs were the clear studs.
I hate PFF grading lol like what are they looking at?? Amik was ballin!
And Goff has had much better games with lower ratings than this one. How does that work?
Lions didn't just win. They DOMINATED that game.
I tried to tell you guys last week Jack Campbell is a stud. He just can’t do it all himself.
Having him and Analoze back now is huge. I’m hoping Carlton can come back for the NFCCG but a broken jaw isn’t something you can just play with.
84.8 grade for Campbell!
5:31 "There were times when he was just a little bit off in the redzone."
That's a little bit of an understatement 😅
PFF grades are nonsense.
Gibbs had an off the charts game, and he wasn't the highest ranked in the game.
It's ok.. they don't even know their formulas sometimes lol
Of the charts? He avg 7.7 rushing and 11.0 rec. From the 1st meeting. And getting many of montes touches.
These two clowns both picked the Vikings to win. SMH. PFF doesn't account for heart, desire, determination and experience.
Great comment. Nobody in the national media, including former players, puts much stock in that. It's always statistics, including a lot of nonsense stats. This team is different.
Also the fact the Lions have an all around better coaching staff as well.
I think its pretty clear Darnold cant make a throw when constantly rattled.
62.8 passing grade for him under pressure this year
Ok, Amik Robertson shut down one of the top three receivers in football, and he's not Top 5? How's that work?
PFF grades? Amik Robinson shut down one of the best receivers in the league. Lost all credibility to me.
Vikings could not run in the red zone, Lions could. Also, Goff was by far the better QB
The Vikings really didn't even try though. They've also been known to pass the ball in the RedZone all season long and the Lions were just ready for it.
Does the hangover continue into the playoffs ?
The analysis is good but the grading is confusing and inconsistent
The Vikings never would of thought the Lions played over 60% of the snaps in man to man.......
Amik should have the highest grade
80.8 tackling grade for him!
@@ProFootballFocus. Coverage grade ?
The Rams are going to handle business next week. 14 wins to go out in the wildcard round....
W Lions. On to the divisional round now.
"Running to the railroad track
Run along with Captain Jack
Run into the peacecamp back
Run along with Captain Jack"
Do you think the Lions will roll through the NFC playoffs?
Anzalone made a HUGE difference in that game, 1 on 1 vikings TE
79.6 tackling grade for him in his return!
They're undefeated on the road.
In one breath he said OConnell was probably coach of the year while telling us he just got out-coached. Dan Campbell has to be coach of the year. Who else wins 15 games with more than half your defense injured? Not even close.
Lions
PFF's grading system -
Drunken intern watches the game while looking at tiktok
Drunken intern gives a thumbs up or thumbs down emoji every play
Darnold and the Vikings played scared when the Lions got into their head!;;

Well executed game by the Lions, the viking blunders kept them out of contention on this one.
The 2nd half was ALL LIONS…
Philly will come to Detroit and get their asses kicked…
Bend but don't break? They blitzed +59% of the time
How Anzo and Amik don’t get graded the highest on the defense is why pff makes zero sense and they have to admit their grading system is extremely flawed.

So weird that the title of the clip is the Lions and only 3 minutes was about the Lions. Your bias is showing
Lions did this to fourteen other teams, so relax. Vikings need a threatening running game besides Aaron Jones, you see what happens when he's not available. Defense understandably got worn down.
Vikez fans are sad lmfao
About time pff owns up to being wrong about Gibbs and jack Cambell. We got roasted for months and these guys led the way on saying how dumb brad was.
Gibbs is so game-changing. It's hilarious to think people questioned him being a top 15 pick. Is there 5 players drafted last year better? I can't think of em. He's an absolute stud

In before everyone complains about how pff grades work for the millionth time.
Amik was a dawg in this game and he didnt crack the top 5 for PFF???? Thats as bad as Kirby getting snubbed for the Probowl!!! Cant watch you anymore dude!!! Trash!!
Joseph didn’t get pro bowl selection???
spanked
Lions defensive MVP= DARNOLD . Your defense isn't fixed Darnold just made you guys look good.
