Don’t mean to hijack the thread, but seems to fit here for most of us….. Vikes pass defense gave up 23 and a half yards on a 3rd and 24 on the way to a Raider’s score. Some things never ever change

It is preseason, wouldn’t worry about it too much. If we’re doing this during the season then yeah I agree with you

Taking a page from Viking teams in the 70's................................Get a first half lead, then go into prevent defense, the rest of the way.

The big difference is the Vikings, then, had the defense capable of doing it, usually.

Cmon Byron

[Winston Smith]

Can Correa opt out before the season is over?

No runs, no wins; one can blame the pitching but it is sad when pitchers , far too often, are dealing with a 1-3 run lead.

[RickOShea]

Is Lopez related to Matt Capps?

[mrtwinsfan]

Rocco why are you torturing us ? Pagan again

[Aggies7]

Vikings look pretty bad too, so there’s that ?

It’s a preseason game with Sean Mannion at QB

[Winston Smith]

The boys are putting lipstick on Pagan now....

[RpR]

Twins lead has shrunken to only 13.5 over Kansas City; good thing Detroit retrogessed from last year.

Yeah and you’d better hope cousins never gets injured because mannion and mond are not good. It’s like coming into the baseball season with two starting pitchers who can’t/aren’t allowed to go more than 5 innings. Oh wait

Cousins has missed a grand total of one game the last four seasons.

[RpR]

Kansas City beat, shut out, the Dodgers.
