Well, to be fair: he didn't say they would be playing
against each other.
Vikings - 20
Bills -24
(It's preseason)

Too funny!
Pre-season discussion threads should also be less concerned w/ scores than what we're looking for or hope to see.
I'd like to see Ponder get into a rhythm w/ Jennings, Simpson, Wright and hopefully CP84 too. Heck, let's get Rudy some catches too! I'd rather AD sit out the whole preseason.
I'd like to see Jim Kelley, Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed come out of retirement for the Bills for old time's sake.

Changed the thread title for him.
Hopefully we'll get our first looks at Rhodes and Jennings. I'm sure Ponder will play more than a series too so hopefully he has a better showing.

I too wanna see our first team secondary play well, maybe a pick and sack or two.

i'd like to see Cordarrelle Patterson play that way he did the first game, and also to see ponder gel a bit with Jennings, Simpson, and Wright. Also interested to see the secondary and also for one of the MLBs to have a good game.

Also if the Vikings can force a few turnovers like coach Frazier wants to emphasize on this year.

The first team offense needs a half tonight. Only this game, and next weeks national telecasted game to get together, every snap is vital now. Especially when starting on the road. Except Adrian, I din't wanna see him. I hope Rhodes plays tonight as well, or he could start falling behind.

The Bills scored a boatload of points last week. I would like to see our 1st team defense shut them down. Allen and Robison getting pressure and Harrison with Greenway shoring up the middle of the field.
Unfortunately I won't see any of it til it's replayed on NFL network....so, I imagine it will be completely broken down in here before tomorrow is over.

Watching the battle for #4,5 & 6 WR will be interesting.
Right now, the WR depth chart is probably:
Simpson / Jennings / Wright
Patterson / Burton / Webb?
Summers / Smith / Thielen
I also am eager to see what Xavier Rhodes is capable of.

I believe the depth chart at WR is exactly as shown at Vikings.com:
SE Jerome Simpson, Cordarrelle Patterson
FL Greg Jennings, Jarius Wright, Stephen Burton
This year I think we'll see mostly Wright in the slot, but also Burton, Patterson and sometimes Jennings lined up there.

yeah, me too. Replay is on Sunday at 4am (HST). I'm tempted to pay the $14.99 for the preseason live subscription.
$15 for the preseason isn't too bad....that's a couple beers and some wings lol. Once the season starts you're golden, football for breakfast. I'll be in the 808 end of Jan, be nice if the Vikes were still playing.

It's game time! Here's hoping the Vikes deliver a good performance tonight.
