Wow, there's no sugarcoating it. This is a terrible, terrible throw. Good thing we don't have Drake Maye. 😜

Classic issue of looking upfield before the ball is secured. SMH

And I think AJ Brown now has a high ankle sprain.

Game/Set/Match...

That non-catch could have turned the game result around if Dobbs simply catches that throw with touch.

Maye feathered that ball in nicely.

But you act like we can’t give critical assessment of Drake Maye’s play last night… you’re choosing one play, I could choose three or four more to the contrary. I think the kid has a world of talent and looks very good (I'd love to have him), but wake me up when he plays a really good team and gets his first win against the team with a winning record.

I think what you meant to say was that he absolutely would have caught it if the ball was thrown with a flatter, more predictable trajectory.

Who’s going to be worse this year? Arizona or Atlanta?

Yes, there are many nuances. Seattle has a very good D and probably make Maye look more like Aunt May. Some really bad throws in there coupled with the bad drop by Dobbs. But the game is a game of inches, Dobbs catches that, Maye doesn't try to go hero ball for the last INT.

Jury is till out on Penix and they still have Bijan. Atl defense was middle of the pack last season.

We saw this last year when Maye played legit teams. He was very lucky with the schedule last year.

Wow, was not aware of that. I have Netflix, but still I'm getting tired of all the hoops you have to jump through just to watch football.

Local fans will be able to watch most Timberwolves games this year through DAZN starting at $19.99 per month or $119.99 for the season, the team and streaming company announced Thursday.

I think Miami is going to surprise this year, do not think they will be a playoff team, but could see them be very competitive. Malik Willis has looked legit in camp, big kid, with a strong arm and mobile, who it seems like the light has gone on. They have Achane and a really under the radar WR group including two really good rookies in Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell and on defense love the rookie Jacob Rodriguez. Also think they have a solid new HC.
