Preseason Week Three Game Thread - Vikings/Chiefs

[Reignman]

Was it Reignman who expressed his concern about the relative lack of turnovers so far? If so, Reignman, it sounds like the defense heard you and decided to take care of it!

Why yes, yes it was. So refreshing to finally see some takeaways. I even see them going for the strip more often on tackles too. Something I haven't seen much of the past few seasons.

Barr looks lost again.

Why do i feel once our D is compromised it's just rinse and repeat with no adjustment

It looks pretty clear to me that the LB's either can't handle their assignments and/or make a mistake on their responsibility.

[Reignman]

I am convinced that Jeff Locke is not an upgrade from Chris Kluwe as far as punting is concerned.

That last punt was ok, just missed an inside the 5, but man that 1st punt was just awful. The weather has been great and he's not getting any hang time and certainly no distance. I mean that 1st punt went what, about 32 yards in the air? Got a lucky bounce. Is it too late to bring in another punter?

Yeap

I'm sure GB will love it lol

Good job to stiffen in the red zone. These Chiefs' announcers are just so bad.

The two INTs are the difference in this game. Vikings have had the ball for 1/2 as many plays and 1/2 the time as Chiefs.

Just remembered that Brad Childress is on the KC coaching staff.

absolute trash. "Marcus Shields" give me a break...

[PacificNorseWest]

people complaining about the defense, you do realize they have 5 points possibly going into the half right? I'll take that 100 times in a row if given the chance

There's complaining and then there's analyzing. There's a clear deficiency with the LB's. It's not something that's encouraging, even despite only haven given up the 3. It is preseason, after all. Not all offenses are as cupcake as this Chiefs horizontal passing game.

Hahaha I know, right? I pointed that out earlier in this thread. They thought Captain Munnerlyn was our safety too. I mean, how hard is it to look at a sheet a paper that has each teams' depth chart?

[Raptorman]

So, if I have this right. The Vikings first string defense has given up 17 points in 4 quarters of football.

[HardcoreVikesFan]

Bad Throw. Play action passes don't always have to go deep. Especially when there is double coverage.

[Eli]

Simpson is SO weak fighting for balls.

I'm sure I am going to catch hell for this but cassel reminds me of ponder.
