We Look Sloppy

2nd team  Def  played well against jags 1st team off

Yes, and I don't understand what the Jags are doing.  I thought the teams usually discuss how they want to play the game. 
Maybe the Jags felt their O needed more work than their D and we wanted to see as much of our 2nd team D as possible since we have a lot of serious cutting to do.
Still, we are not playing Zimmer ball.  Dropped passes, missed take aways, giving up screens and QB scrambles, not scoring a TD on a take away and giving another right back to the Jags.  Penalties, special team mistakes, etc.   We just don't look sharp today.

Offense is completely out of sync.  Defense is fine other than one bad drive.  Thankful it's preseason.

Agreed. Bumbling, stumbling, fumbling. It was not pretty. And Alexander got hurt. Ugh.

No excuses... except Saturday morning; i'd let that one fly...

who's idea was it to play a game at noon on a Saturday?  B)

ill have to wait for the replay since i missed it. how long were the starters in?

Blake played the whole half 7 pts to show for it. 
I agree sloppy, out of synch discribed it pretty well. Two top defenses are on display today. That's the only good I've seen. 

Neither starting offense looked good against two of the best defenses.  But the Jags starting offense played the whole half after only 3 series against our starters.  That was when Bortles was able to move the Jags somewhat.  He basically threw two interceptions in the first two series.  So Defense looks solid as usual.  

The offense had 4 new starting OL going against one of the best DL in the NFL.  Collins fell back to earth after last week as well as Edison at Center.  O'Neill came in later at RT and played well again from what I saw.  Anyway, keep most of the OL in for the second half and to see what Sloter/Roc can do.  

D looked good, O looked bad. 0fer in 3rd down in 2H. Missed FG. Is Les Frazier coaching today?
Oh well. Better to be clicking in January than July. Really hope Mack is okay.

Don't know which is worse the offials killing the defense or listening to the Jag crew call the game. However anyway you slice it you get to the garbage this games became.

Yes, score is meaningless.  Win, loose, or draw, it doesn't matter.

Terrible roughing the passer call!

Man, we are loosing players like crazy.  Back up full back now.
We need to start protecting all the players and not just the QB's.  Time to play flag football.

Dam  to many injuries

How many O lineman got hurt today?

Told you it might be a shit show. Minnesota has 3 starting offensive linemen out, that's all we need to know. Good teams will shut that weak sauce down. Minnesota needs Remmers and Elflein back now and I think you'll see that. Its preseason, expect them to be eased back and then in Week 1, fully healthy outside of Easton and the dominate the 49ers. Today was blip on the radar that nobody noticed. 

This team is very good....but they need that O-line a go. Its coming and it will get better. Preseason football is dipshitFest.

Contrast that with the Jags who were specifically game planning to hamper the Vikings Pass Rush with their Starters, who played the whole half.

The backups asserted their will against the #3 Defense, albeit minus Miller. They couldn't make hay against the #2 Defense. Not sure how that adds up to shutting weak sauce down as few teams are at that level Defensively.

Now the Special Teams on the other hand. 2 weeks in a row with multiple gaffes. Lots of young dudes having to step in. Could be a work in progress.

What got me was just sloppy ball.  Stupid penalties, dropped passes that hit people in the hands, poor throws, poor play against screens, just sloppy play.  Not what I was hoping to see when we matched up against a good defense.
I thought the Jags did a better job on things like blowing up our few screens although too stopped themselves or failed to stop us with stupid penalties. 

With all the pressure today cousins didn't look sharpe at all.
