WTF was that punt return????

Refs missed a false start on the 2 pt conversion, but that is ok because they didn't get it.

What a punt by Locke. He is looking much better.

Kearse is huge. I hope he pans out.

can catch a ball ...

I hear Fusco didn't play. Was it Sully at C and Berger at G?

The Vikings' efforts to improve their offensive line have received plenty of attention this offseason, but the first drive for the team's top offensive unit looked an awful lot like something we would've seen last season.

Wow O-lines gets the blame again. I watched that first series, personally I put the blame more on Teddy than the O-line. Teddy has got to develop his pocket aware much more. Even slow footed Tom Brady can dance around the pocket to make his O-line look better.

Oh well 1st pre season game, still a lot of time.

So the play where he had to stiff arm one of the best tackles in football, who ran off a guard because the whole left side collapsed, was teddys fault?

Totally makes sense.. Everything is Teddy's fault .. even last years missed field goal...
I am happy with Teddy and have been a Teddy fan since his first preseason come backs
and two minute finishes.

If I was GM I would try and trade Kalil to the Eagles for their 10 game suspension guy and maybe
eat some of his money. Then I was try and get the Guard from Cowboys who wants out and move Boon
to LT or Cirles can handle it... I am guessing our tight ends will be held into block and our Offense
will suffer and be vanilla again.

I firmly believe Teddy could break 5 tackles and deliver a strike into a tight window that gets dropped and get the blame.

In the first drive, Teddy held the ball too long on one play (I think it was the sack) where he had McKinnon open for probably a 15 yard gain. On another play the line blew it and didn't give Teddy time (I think it was the 3rd down play). There was one play "fail" for each of them.

But, they really played well the second drive, particularly McKinnon.
