Preseason Game #2 ~ Vikings/Ravens ~ Sat. Aug. 22nd @ Noon Central.

:flag_wave:If you're out of the market area, FOX 9, you can stream it via NFL+ or *ESPN Unlimited.

*If you have DirecTV with ESPN included in your package, you also get ESPN Unlimited. You have to activate though.

ESPN Unlimited is included at no extra cost on accounts in good standing whose base package included ESPN channel 206.

Log in to your account at DIRECTV, navigate to TV Package from your Account Overview, click the Activate ESPN Unlimited link, and follow the prompts to agree and sign in with your MyDisney/ESPN credentials.

FYI ~ I streamed last week's game on ESPN & didn't have a single issue.

Or bought it for the specific purpose of burning it.

So another scintillating and action packed game for the home crowd at U.S. Bank, huh? Boy has that stadium seen some shit football in the last year. Hardly anything to cheer for.

Didn't specify the injury. Said it happened as part of an accumulation of plays.

An accumulation? Meaning he got hurt on more than one play? FFS, the kid played ONE quarter. And I'll wait to hear from the medical staff on this one. How many times did JJ hide an injury last year? No one questions your toughness, kid, only your judgement.

  • I think Scott may be winning the RB3 job. One thing about him is that he always gets more than you think he's going to get.

  • I saw Demmings miss a tackle. This was my concern about him. His coverage seems good.

  • I think Jacob Roberts may have blown the coverage on the Ravens TD

  • I think McCarthy would win QB2 in a laugher if it weren’t for his high and outside heaters, which are due to his poor timing, which is due to his poor processing speed.

  • Banks might be on the Jordan Davis plan. He'll play a lot, but It took Davis a couple years to really get it.

  • Orange is going to give LDR a good fight for NT1

  • Liked what I saw from TID and Richter

  • Felt like Jurgens played really well. Vershon Lee can't play at all.

  • Brosmer can’t play, zero improvement there

  • I think the Vikings defense, once again, is going to be very good, even with Banks and Orange onboarding

Did Bredeson play yesterday? Man....if they sat him with many of the other starters, that boy is valued. I didn't get to see the game yesterday unfortunately so I'm not sure.

Pretty nice angle on that second one. Good rush as well.
