Re: Preseason game #2 Colts at Vikings
Thielen was being groped before the ball got there on that "incompletion".
I'm watching on Sportsurge and getting great picture quality.

That was really nice running by Dye for the pick 6. Go Vikings.

Re: Preseason game #2 Colts at Vikings
I think the focus is on not getting the QB hit and that limits an offense.

That may be true, but the teams we're playing seem to be able to move the ball.StumpHunter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 7:48 pmI think the focus is on not getting the QB hit and that limits an offense.

AJ Rose probably won't make the team, but so far I really like the kid.

The teams we have played have a QB competition for starter.Thaumaturgist wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 7:53 pmThat may be true, but the teams we're playing seem to be able to move the ball.StumpHunter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 7:48 pm

Also, the Colts only scored 12 so they weren't exactly lighting us up like the Broncos last week.

Re: Preseason game #2 Colts at Vikings
This may be the Captain Obvious statement of the preseason, but the offense concerns me.
Kirk Cousins has had a lackluster camp, and that showed yesterday.
Justin Jefferson has missed a lot of time. He’ll be fine, I’m sure, but he’s missing valuable reps.
Darrisaw has barely practiced.
Cook hasn’t played, and likely won’t until the season opener.
Thielen limped off the field last night.
Conklin hasn’t played.
We have no legitimate backup QB.
We have an untested rookie playcaller.
I know it’s the preseason. But I also don’t believe the team can just flip a switch and suddenly become explosive. Hoping things improve pretty soon on the offensive side of the ball. Kind of on pins and needles right now.

Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

Re: Preseason game #2 Colts at Vikings
It is preseason, I am not worried until regular season
Re: Preseason game #2 Colts at Vikings
Another unwatchable game. Spent all that money on a new stadium, new practice facilities, new everything. Same old team.
For all the people on this board claiming this is a championship roster. Please don't let up now, if you truly believe this is finally the year, hold this team's feet to the fire. Don't make excuses for them. Either this year's team is different or it's not.

Re: Preseason game #2 Colts at Vikings
The team is different every year. We only have one starter returning from last years secondary. We have new starters on the DL. Nobody gives a rat's #### about pre season. and it don't get more boring. Why do you think they cut it back. People only attend the games for something to do. It's a beer drinking event. Season's are not won in pre season. Just like players aren't made in pre season. That stuff is taken care of long before these worthless games roll out. Camp sets the depth chart. The teams feet are already in the fire. We need 14 wins for the division title. That's a hot fire.StpViking wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 9:08 am Another unwatchable game.

Re: Preseason game #2 Colts at Vikings
The offense is really puzzling. The starters looked just as off as the backups were the week before. Cousins said the timing was off, which may be true I suppose, but they just looked lackluster.StpViking wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 9:08 am Another unwatchable game.

"I feel really good. I felt really clean tonight as far as just seeing coverage and getting through my reads. I felt like we moved quickly. I felt like it was a really smooth operation, and that was encouraging. I thought overall it was really smooth."

Re: Preseason game #2 Colts at Vikings
That makes it even more puzzling because Cousins appears to be seeing something nobody else is seeing and the results certainly don't support.808vikingsfan wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 6:57 pmCousins also said:VikingLord wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 1:11 pm
