How do you roll up almost 300 yards of offense in the first half and only come away with 10 points? Turnovers. Specifically red zone turnovers. This is the essential summary of the game today. Sorry you didn't get to see a better game, Kapp. It was a frustrating one to watch, even on the TV. Felt l...

Did you guys watch the game? The so called juggernaut lions offence put up 14 points against a chiefs D without their best player. Mahomes was throwing to XFL receivers and lions were gifted a pick 6 on a throw that hit Toney right in the hands. Kc had a ton of drops and no Kelce. Not impressed. Ye...

The Lions are just built right: super strong in OL and DL; some good skill position players; tough minded and with a coach they want to fight for. There's a lot to like about them. I don't love the idea of playing them twice in the last three weeks of the season. I'm very much looking forward to it...

I didn't watch the entire game, but Mahomes didn't look all that sharp to me. Either that, or the Lions got more pressure on him than the Chiefs expected (and from what I gather, a lot of people thought the Chief OL got away with a lot of holding that wasn't called). Regardless, I am not happy abou...

Solid analysis, VL, I enjoyed reading your write up. Nevertheless, I agree with Kapp. I think the Vikings O comes out crisp. I trust the KOC will have his guys firing fast from the start. I am concerned with IOL and the Bucs pressure in the middle. I hope KOC has a plan to roll Kirk out or other met...

https://www.sportsline.com/nfl/odds/ Jacksonville -5 Philly -4 Seattle -5 Washington -7 I'm playing in two fantasy football leagues this season, so I'll be devoted to that on Sunday mornings and will try to get my picks in here early in the week (if I remember). :v): Edit---had to change out Pitt a...

Pretty sure even if I played every week, someone else missing a week or two wouldn't prevent ME from getting last!!

My darts were unlucky last season, but things are going to change... I can feel it! (*cue "Loser" by Beck...)

Cliff, I hope that in these difficult days you are able to find peace, while knowing that that may take time. Lean on loved ones; they want to help. I wish the best with your child, too. Your words about how great of a mother your wife was hit me hard. It is heartening to see the words of support fr...

In addition to those pointed out up thread, I'm a bit surprised to see Luiji Vilain cut. He looked disruptive on nearly every snap I watched.

Good observations, VL. I'll just state in this thread that I thought Jarren Hall showed some flashes yesterday. He got especially hot on one drive (2nd to last, maybe?) hitting some nice down field throws, stepping up in the pocket, ... he got in a rhythm. It made me happy that they didn't trade for...

We have a preseason game and it doesn't generate ANYTHING here? Bobby Dylan sang it best, "The Times, they are a changing!" But, yeah, it was a super boring game. The Vikings under KOC really don't DO much in the preseason. It's probably the prudent approach, but I kind of miss the old day...

Boring game, overall, with no major occurrences and no stand out performances. Too many penalties, terrible OL play from our backups, and very little pressure from our DL. IIRC we went to halftime leading 9-7 (which is all that really matters--in the 2nd half we played guys that mostly won't make th...

Overall, our starting D looked solid. Standouts included Luigi Villain, Tonga, Pace Jr., and Cine. Cine made a few minor mistakes, but his aggression is something we need. I can see a future for him on this team, unlike his fellow 2022 draft mate, Booth Jr., who got burned bad in the second half. I...

Only saw bits and pieces of the game, but I was not impressed by Hall at all. Yeah, he didn't get great protection, but even when he quickly released the ball he didn't look sharp. Vikings defensive secondary depth does not look good either. Booth was straight-up burned for an easy TD. I hope he's ...

Well Akayleb Evans is with the ones and Joejuan was a Flores signing so he will start. Murphy will play also. Looks like Cine won't play until the hitman hangs them up. Plus Joshua Metellus might get the sub snaps now. He's a big safety and the hitman sat out some snaps last year. I'm about the onl...
