Last Preseason Game ~ Fri 08/28 ~ Broncos

The lack of edge depth is really showing up so far. The Vikings’ defense is not doing a good job of holding contain at all

Jakobe Thomas looks GASSED.

Dillon Bell is super fun with the ball
In his hands but the problem is getting it to him.

Observation #7 - Vikings at Broncos - Gavin Bartholomew is a reliable TE who could make some noise. Max Brosmer is interesting. Looked like deer in the headlines in regular season action, but he has handled the blitz, lets it fly and IS accurate. Is he #3 worthy? pic.twitter.com/INfIe0kH9z

Vikings safety room continues to show up this preseason. This time it’s Kahlef Hailassie with the INT! pic.twitter.com/RY48ttHlsF

BRUTAL miss by Brosmer man. That should have been a TD for Dillon Bell.

Reichard makes his second FG of the game, this time a 28-yarder

Observation #8 - Vikings at Broncos - Dontae Fleming has shown some nice speed after short catches tonight. Not in the top 5, but likely a decent practice squad option for year 2 in a row pic.twitter.com/Dar3dj4EsJ

Observation #9 - Vikings at Broncos - After I complimented Max Brosmer, he threw away a ball 3 times in a row in red zone opportunities. He seems to panic about making mistakes on throws beyond 8 yards. Had Dillon Bell wide open in the end zone. pic.twitter.com/wCQaBg3RgF

Observation #10 - Vikings at Broncos - Viking defenders who continued to flash in all 3 preseason games were Jacob Thomas, Bo Richter and Elijah Williams (in the photo). pic.twitter.com/jQlJZ2JqZ4

Final Observation - Vikings at DEN: I'm hopeful, but very anxious abt our QB position. Kyler Murray won the position but struggled at times in camp-took only 3 snaps in preseason. The #3 spot is a mess. JJ likely gone. Max just is not good enough. We will find out in 16 days pic.twitter.com/n7R7Bwvj5V

Not when the guys like Bo Richter and Tyler Batty are likely your edge depth players! https://t.co/Z74LOU1fte

It sucks that Jacob Thomas got hurt but he’s an UDFA so of course he was going to play.

Carson Wentz kept playing when he was writhing in pain and could barely get up and McCarthy just doesn’t feel good enough to play. Yes it’s a preseason game but show some fight and toughness.

This what happens when you hire a GM that couldn’t draft for 4 straight years. Paying the price dearly now. https://t.co/2mghIRUBwE

This has been one of the worst pre-seasons in Vikings history. Just brutal football.

Let's come from behind and win this thing 🫡
