Reich made a mistake not starting Eason with the way   Hines played that first quarter.

 

Not sure it would have mattered. They were blitzing Sam in every series.  Who knows though. I think Reich made the right call starting Sam.  Seems to have more tools in his toolbelt. 

 

[Boss7894]

Somebody need to just tell them to throw better than that 

[cdgacoltsfan]

Sam led us to victory with the backups last week. Let's see if Eason has it in him.

I usually don't like Paul Allen. He does not seem as annoying to me today.

 

What do you like to get from an announcer?

Definitely not Joe Buck

Roll your eyes all you want.  He's a former NFL coach.  Decades in the league.  Very good DC.

[JlynRN]

Well not sure what to think of the 1st half. I think the defense looked good, glad to see Paye making his presence felt  LOL.  Offense, well leaves something to be desired. Hopefully Eason can put something together in the 2nd half. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

When Eason comes out all week and begins to show confidence and assert himself he should of had the start. Now you might kill the confidence of a young QB.

Thank you. Yeah, I was displeased with the Mond pick. I was hoping we would move up for Fields or @danlhart87's guy (Jones). Every team in the NFC North has drafted franchise QBs except us. I think Denny Green (RIP) was still the head coach when we drafted a QB that worked out for us and even he did not last long (Culpepper). I liked Teddy but unfortunately, he got hurt and it did not work out. We drafted Ponder and Tavaris Jackson (RIP) but they too were bad picks.   We need you to draft us a QB. 

 

I have not followed camp too closely but I have not heard much about Bynum. I will be watching today. Hopefully Gamepass works for me.

 

I like preseason because it is a sign that the regular season is approaching. I want to post this when the season starts

 

(Brothers and SISTERS. Women love football too. )

 

Thank you for the Vikings draft analysis, @EastStreet.

 

I'd have liked them to move up for Justin Fields, as @NFLfansaid, but we know Rick Speilman has no clue drafting QBs, and Mike Zimmer likes off-the-field character more than winning traits in a QB, so we're stuck with Cousins and worse backups for as long as these gangs have control over the Vikings. Sigh

If he's that fragile , he needs to find a new occupation.

Mond looked like Curtis Painter there  

[John Hammonds]

Basically, listening to Rick Venturi give color commentary is basically an exercise in basically hearing the word, basically, a whole awful lot.  Basically.

[PrincetonTiger]

Happy to see Rose doing well

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Banogu has looked great.

Has Turay played tonight?

Mond just did 

[EastStreet]

Overall, bad QB play from both.

 

I think Reich had a bad game plan vs MN's D scheme. I liked the game plan last week. Oh well.

 

Curious to see if Eason rebounds, and what Hundley looks like.

Hundley will look terrible

[Nelson56]

Hopefully he's not calling plays to try to win a preseason game.

[TimetobringDfence!]

Well let's we get some better QB play let's go.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bob Lamey was the best announcer we have ever had. I miss him. When I was a kid he was doing Pacers games and I used to always try to emulate him.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I was worried about Eason being backed up that far.

Looks like the tweaks to the D scheme may have paid off vs the run for MN. 

On O, personally I'd be more concerned with the OL situation than QB situation.

He will always be Hockey Bob to me.

[CanuckColt]

We need our old "pre-season star QB" Chad Kelly back...too bad he is 'defective' because he can play QB better than either of these guys.

Maybe. Can't look much worse than both the other QBs though....

He could announce any sport no doubt.

If he does that be a negative record

I don't think they game plan for preseason games 

[PrincetonTiger]

[EastStreet]

The QB play is hurting my eyes. 

So is the play calling

[compuls1v3]

Granson is having a very bad game
