anyone tuning in ? ESPN

Vikes muff opening kickoff
bwuahhaaahhhaaaa

See Richardson say something to the defenseman? **Gasp** 15yd should be called! I want justice.

looks like the raiders continue to be "the dumbest team in the league." four defensive penalties in one drive.

then Doug Gabriel muffs a punt ... lucky the Viking was oob

i hate to say this, .... but Brooks actually looks decent

Does anyone like seeing the score in the middle of the screen , i hate it.

weird aint it ?

i'd rather it be down and distance

BLAH !!!

they take a timeout then take a HUUGE sack on 3rd down

Raiders suck

raiders line doesn't look so hot

Could be a long season in Oakland.

its growing on me
it does give down and distance (as well as the play clock)
and even gives stats

Andrew Walter gettin' some pimpin

Ruh roh, the Vikes 1st round rookie LB hurt his knee. Maybe we can trade them Sirmon.....for Traverus (sp) Jackson :wink2:

Sorry, I missed it because of the scoreboard on my screen blocking the play.
I hate this more and more as i watch it. Why dont they put the stupid thing back up in the top corner out of the way.

Last time I looked he was 0 and 4 and got sacked, what happened? The rookie made a beautiful pass for the TD though, 67 yards I believe.

it was right before all that :ha:

what happened ?
someone starting bragging on him .....

Tavaris Jackson looks like a beast, he really does look like a poor mans Vince... The commentary personally i think sucks and the damn Tony, Tony, Tony question part is getting on my last nerve. So far monday night football doesnt have the feel but hey its preseason and they got time to improve i suppose.

I was thinking the same thing, he looks really great out there and might have a TD if it wasn't for a certain dropped pass. This guy may be one of the best of the 06 draft next to Vince. I think Kellen Clemens will be big someday too.

Gotta add Cutler to that possibility with that game, yeah it was the lions and such but his throws did look great. But Jackson really stood out today and I think he will be a fan favorite in minnesota now.

I think the booth is doing a good job. Tony K. cuts off Joe Theisman to early sometimes, instead of letting him answer completetly, but he has forced Joe to answer some questions that might not ordinarily get asked. And we know Joe loves to talk so it works fairly well. Tony K has made some weird comments, but I think he'll learn how to cut some of the silly stuff out. We'll see. I almost think one more football guy would be good like a Dan Fouts. Just to give Joe someone else to talk to. But I'm ok with this group. Not quite as good as Madden and Michaels in my opinion, but liveable.

I thought they did a good job, too.

he went 1 for 6

he went 1 for 6


With at least one sack and a delay of game. The guy is a bum.

just wondering where this decent part comes in.

Could be a long season in Oakland.

Sad, but true.

One would think that a coach who is a HOF lineman would be able to beat some sense into an O-line. Only time will tell. For one, I'm getting tired of this "losing" crap.

Aaron Brooks will not be the starter of this team for long. Andrew Walter is the future. Everyone in Raider Nation loves this kid, and we're dying for him to get some serious reps.

BTW...Vince Young is the TRUTH. Good luck this year, guys.

Thanks Dude. Same to you. Stay safe.:yes:

I think he meant descent, spell check doesn't take into account lousy quarterbacks.

Good luck this year, guys.

Thanks. Same to you.

BTW, how's Robert Gallery doing? Now that Jackie Slater and Art Shell are there I'd expect him to really develop into the player theywanted when they drafted him.

Here's what's crazy to me...The Raiders who are likely the worse team in the NFL play on national TV..If I counted right FIVE TIMES...Including Two preseason games.???

I understand why Tennessee isn't playing on National TV...we we're 4-12...Nobody thinks Oakland will be any better this year...But they think we want to watch them FIVE times

They're the Raiders. Really, it's that simple. They are an icon type team, and we aren't.

on a side note, chad greenway is out for the season with a knee injury he sustained on kick off coverage.

You're exactly right.
