MT dropped a TD. Even the announcers stated wow he should have had that one so I know I was not the only one. 9/10 he hauls that in so it wasn't just backups whiffing but meh...it is still PS I agree. Not a big deal. We went undefeated in PS one year and then had one W I believe the whole season.

So are you suddenly worried about Michael Thomas? Of course not. A meaningless preseason game testing the bottom 40 players that aren't making the squad. They will of course affect the entire squad ... real starters or not.

MT dropping that pass had nothing to do with anyone else but MT, it wasn't the throw he just dropped a TD that he should have caught. To my understanding I don't think anyone is saying we aren't capable of being a good team or whatever you're making the analysis of the preseason game out to be, but it's clear as that the performance put out on the field yesterday is less than encouraging from some starters and potential backups.

He's the highest paid WR in the game right now. No way am I concerned about it, hell he shouldn't have even been out there in the first place. Am I questioning Payton. Yes. Nobody is putting their superstars on the field in the first PS game but us from what I have seen. It's stupid but he is the coach and I am not. If MT or Kamara would have got hurt though everyone on this forum would have blown a fuse.

The Vikings had Kirk Cousins Diggs and Theiland on the field

Then you didn't see our game. Cousins started at QB and both of their starting WR's played.

And that's a great point, there's a lot to observe in a game, and be prepared for some who're following it on more than one level...

While we withheld Brees, Jordan who're obvious difference makers, we saw what they could bring...

But our defense shouldn't have devolved back to a speed-bump with Cam out...
