I would expect the first teams to be about even, but the Vikings backups should destroy the Raiders backups.
I just wanna see the Vikings new uni's actually in a game. And Kornheiser on the mic. I'm curious to see if he'll be a Dennis Miller type, or will he actually have football knowledge to share.
Pretty boring so far. I feel asleep for most of the 2nd quarter though.Tavaris Jackson just had a sweet play but got injured on it. His numbers look well, not sure if he's played as well as they look though.

Oh well.. It's only preseason. We could have won that game if we wanted to but no sense in putting it into OT. Positives:- Tarvaris Jackson- The kid plainly tore it up tonight. It may be against 2nd and 3rd stringers but I was quite impressed. My friend who knows nothing about the NFL remarked that we will probably see him in a year or two as a starter. -Defensive Line- Great penetration. Aaron Brooks didn't know what had hit him.-Secondary- Good game for the secondary as well. When our starters were in, Brooks had no where to get the ball apart from the one Moss catch. Dwight Smith looked great.-Ben Leber- I've doubted this guy a lot but from what I saw I was really impressed. Props to Ben.Negatives:- Special Teams- Kluwe and Longwell were OK but our coverage and return game (other than Kasper) was horrible. Not a bright spot..-Mewelde Moore- What happened to him? He was lower on the depth chart it looked like that Ciatrick and couldn't run against 3rd stringers. Nice...-JT O'Sullivan- Better than Shaun Hill but sorry man, you're gonna get cut. Good effort though especially avoiding the sacks and such.
Minnesota fans, I'll say one thing; You guys are very lucky to have Tarvares Jackson. He's going to be special.

I love those jersey's. Can't wait until week 17 when I get to see them live. Tavaris is sweet. He'll start as soon as Brad retires (after this season hopefully for his sakes). But the Vikings still SUCK!
Those new Vikes jerseys werent horrible but anything with purple on it is bad enough. Brooks really missed Moss once when he was wie open in the endzone. And thank god that the Vikes didnt try to tie it because I wanted to watch SportsCenter, not more preseason football.
