Kirk is loving that, how big of a loss will Cook be is the question. The only team better in your division is the Lions and they haven't proven anything so the Vikings could still be a playoff team.

 

Looks like we will have RB by committee led by Mattison. The other backs are Kene Nwangwu and Ty Chandler. We drafted this guy McBride in the 6th round this year, but I read he fumbles a lot. He needs to fix that if he wants to play.

 

We also use a fullback, CJ Ham.

We may lose Taylor so I feel your pain. I hope we don't but this whole Taylor situation hasn't looked good at all.

Harry looked good there. I used to like him in college. I'm surprised he did not do well with the Pats.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Hell of a catch by Harry!

Maybe we will keep him.

 

That was laughable by McBride there. Lol.

Hey there is the Captain, they just showed him on the sideline - then the Vikings can't get 1 yard, SMH

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cade Johnson has been transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle out of precaution to be evaluated for head and neck injuries sustained in Thursday’s preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings, the Seahawks announced. He’s in stable condition, the team said.

I didn't see it.

Anyone planning on participating in Fantasy Football?? Are there any rookies that you would like on your teams?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Wow what was that??

[NFLfan]

Time to call it a night. On Saturday, 3 hours before the start of the Colts/Bills game, you will find the game thread in Colts Game Day. Do join your fellow fans to talk preseason Colts play.

 

 

Good night/day.

Nah, I am retired from it. I played in 12 team leagues from 2014-2019, haven't played since Covid. The old gang I did my leagues with quit and I was ready to do so as well. I won my league in 2018 with Andrew Luck at QB. I had a squad that season with Luck and Hopkins. The league I was in was real competitive, these dudes would bring their laptops and notebooks to the table when drafting. We always met up at a bar to do our draft. From 2014-2017 I took some whippings, but I took a gamble on Luck bouncing back after his injury and I kicked rear! I got him in the 3rd round after there were like at least 5 or 6 QB's taken. Hopkins was my first pick and it paid off.

I will watch now. Thanks!

Jordan Love trying to do too much already. He needs to pace himself

I'm going to watch a little of the Giants and Lions. Giants are leading 6-0 (2 FGs).

Yep I wish I had access to all the games, there will be several tonight I think. Keep me updated of any highlights from that one!

GB just had a great drive, Love already more poised, TD.

The Giants are showing here because they are the local team. I'm not sure when the Jets are playing but that game will be showing too.

 

I may be able to watch the Colts game on my phone tomorrow.

[NFLfan]

@Dingus

 

What are you watching?

[NFLfan]

There was a Bobby Okereke sighting. The Lions are driving with Nate Sudfeld at QB.

[DEColtsLover36]

Cincy just had an okay drive, up on the board with a FG. GB defense did alright stopping a full on touchdown but could tighten up a bit

Are the Lions fans hype? I know some of the fan bases that are usually the underdog come out screaming even for preseason 

[NFLfan]

Lions score a FG after a pretty good drive that stalled.

 

Giants up 6-3.

[DEColtsLover36]

GB done playing their starters. 2nd string QB already made a great play, not so much in 2nd down

[NFLfan]

The Lions fans are very optimistic. They love their head coach. I do too. I was very intrigued by their team last year and even more this year. And they signed one of my favorite people, Teddy Bridgewater. He may not make the team. He is battling Sudfeld for backup QB but Sudfeld is ahead of him.

[NFLfan]

I think the starters are done playing here too but there are some known names on the field like WR Cole Beasley and RB James Robinson.

 

Lol. The Giants announcers said they are confused as to why the Lions are favored to win the division.

[DEColtsLover36]

Steelers up 7-0 against Tampa. Wonder who they have on the field for that game

How was Jake Browning for the Bengals? We had him in Vikings camp two to three years.

[DEColtsLover36]

Browning trying to stay calm despite not so great protection. They are talking about him now saying how he is keeping his cool.

Good handoff just now for a good run Cincy.

[NFLfan]

Clifford is looking good for GB. He beat out Levis in college.

Lol. I jinxed him. Pick-6

[DEColtsLover36]

Oh no!

Just now, DEColtsLover36 said:

It is preseason. He looked good otherwise.

[DEColtsLover36]

Clifford will be okay. He was doing fine before that.

Yup

[DEColtsLover36]

Uh oh I hope that pick doesn’t cause GB to totally fall apart now. Time to test their ability to bounce back
