Re: Out Of Towners

Hopefully you guys will be on the live game thread, I have no access to watch the game, I'll just follow along with you guys.


I'll probably watch the replay though. Just finished watching the Vikings replay. Comcast has NFLN games in HD now!


Yea baby!

How did the Vikings look? I heard Jackson looks like complete crap. Accurate?

Yea, 8 of 11 for 83 for 1.5 quarters.
25 yards rushing. No turnovers. Doesn't sound horrible to me
He wasn't great, he wasn't bad. He needs game experience.

Where did you hear that? Or was it wishful thinking.....LOL


edit: Oh, to answer your question on how the Vikings looked....pretty damn avaerage I'd say. Defense showed some flashes. QB's were under pressure. No red zone offense again for the Vikings and Richardson and Hutchinson didn't play. They have a ways to go on offense. Jackson is by far their best option at QB. He played pretty well.

[RashanGary]

John Clayton said he looked lost. Said he had talent, but was not ready to play in the NFL.

Nah, he didn't look lost at all. John is entitled to his opinion. I thought he looked ok. His teammates say he's poised and confident. I think he'll end being an ok NFL QB from what I've seen so far.

[HarveyWallbangers]

The guy has talent. He's just raw, and the offensive playcalling is VERY conservative. Actually, he reminds me a lot of J.P. Losman, and I wouldn't be surprised if his career path kind of follows him. I don't think Losman played much his rookie year. Kind of lost his second year. Last year, it was his third year, he looked improved, and looks like he has a decent future. Both guys can run, but they aren't in the Vick, McNabb, Culpepper, Vince Young, Steve Young class. Both guys have solid arms, but they aren't in the Favre and Elway elite class for arm strength.

Re: Out Of Towners

So locals please don't post anything about the game until after we get to see it on NFL network.

How about.... you out of towners, don't read this thread until after you get to watch the game on NFLN

I'll be listening to WTMJ tonight. I did that for 25 years BEFORE God gave me the NFL Sunday ticket.

Yep, spent many a winter sitting in the car freezing my ass off on a Sunday afternoon. To much static inside the house, so the car was the only option.

awww, now there is a true fan!! Just curious..does Sunday Ticket show pre-season, too?

Nope. I had it for a couple of years....I used to wish it did....

You had it to make sure you didn't miss any of the Packer games, eh, Ras?

Actually I did watch them all when I had it. I'd miss pieces of it because the MAIN team was playing so I'd only flip over during commercials....

[CaliforniaCheez]

WTMJ is on while I'm doing some household chores before going to watch the game.

What other team has a 3 hour pregame show for an exhibition game??

No, but for what they charge now, they should! Thank God for the NFL network.

No shit....they should show EVERY preseason game live for what they charge....PLUS, season ticket holders pay FULL PRICE for these games.

NFL should treat them as real games when it comes to packages like this.

[Joemailman]

Woodson and Harris will both be held out tonight. Great chance for Dendy, Bush, Blackmon, Walker and Williams to show what they can do.

[BallHawk]

I'm relying on you locals for the color commentary tonight.

I'll be using NFL gamecenter, but that'll be about 25-60 seconds behind you guys.

For the first time in about 8 months, I can finally say that it's gameday.
