Please show something, anything on Offense Friday night. This has been a walking-dead covid preseason so far.

Third game for Kubiak, and new WR/OL coaches.
Agreed. Saturday night was so insanely painful and it made me extremely nervous that Kubiak isn't qualified for the position. Toss in some guys who know what they are doing so I can evaluate a little bit. I realize it's preseason and I usually never overreact to it, but Saturday night was about as bad as I can remember a Vikings Offense looking.
That was absolutely brutal to watch. I know we are sick and tired of this but it looks like GROIN pains again.
FIXED it for you.
Unfortunately it's both growing and groin pains. Ugh. I do like the energy of the OL coach though. He seems to be tough and a bit nasty. Hope that rubs off on the OL.
You said groin and rubs off. This is not a porn site, control yourself

Yeah well Jimmy started it. Lol.

Would be nice to score a touchdown on Offense this preseason.

Got a gut feeling AT is going to have a tough year, the hamstring last year and bruise this year are going to be a trend. Hope not but he looks a bit fragile.

I believe the hamstring was the year before Al…

yep, it was 2019 he had the two hamstring strains. Last year it was the cleat cut, so he’s gonna have good year.

Yep.

I hate to think of anyone getting injured but I also don’t know how you can pull everyone if we fail to score points on the first few drives.

The Bengals are one of the easier-looking matchups on our schedule. It would stink to lose a very winnable opener because we didn’t get enough reps in during the preseason.

KC said they’re playing starters for a half, fwiw.

I don't think tonight gets much better and we're all going to be seriously wondering what the hell is going on. Again, its preseason only. A win in Week 1 in a nice fashion will evaporate anything that happened before but with another laid egg tonight its going to have VikingNation jittery.

Agree. KC's playing their starters. We'll have some starters in, but likely not any of the players that make this team go. It would not surprise me at all if the team looks sluggish again. But for me anyway, preseason isn't as much about stopping and sustaining drives; it's about individual matchups. Is Bradbury getting pushed back by Jarran Reed? How does Hill hold up against Chris Jones? Can Breeland stay with Tyreek Hill? They have a much better OL this year. Can our DTs get penetration? If I see good things I'll feel good about going into Cincinnati with all our starters and the full playbook.

I think it was the 2017 preseason? This offense looked awful. Game one against the Saints was one of the best offensive performances I've ever seen from these Vikings. Bradford 350 yards, 3 TDs, Cook 127 yards. So...just sayin...Oh...and not long after that game, you made your Bradford post. A post which will live in infamy. Let's not repeat that. :-)
