Nice return by Phillips.  Good game for him so far.

[Stripes]

Damn. Chris Evans is quick.

[membengal]

Holy hell - that was gorgeous from evans.

[Stripes]

Thomas fumbles.

Let's get these out of the way in the games that don't matter.

[membengal]

Why does our offense refuse to let us see McPherson?

[Stripes]

It's awkward having Tobin in the booth talking about his players effing up.

[Stripes]

Second team defense finally gets off the field. Good time to see the punt return battle (and probably a fair catch)

[Stripes]

Nevermind. They went for it. And it didn't happen. Nice.

[membengal]

This is correct:

 

[Stripes]

Yep. This Ossai debut reminds me of rookie Geno Atkins in 2010's preseason. Different position obviously, but we could tell immediately with Geno.

[membengal]

Rookie UDFA almost got Brandon Allen killed.

[Stripes]

Bad DPI call to Tate's advantage.

[membengal]

I thought it was a clear DPI - he pinned Tate’s arm.

[membengal]

Guess not - but a nice block from Carmen.

[membengal]

Evans really impressing.

[Stripes]

Meh Seibert

[Stripes]

Pretty decent first half from Brandon Allen. The interception was whatever. Without the red zone fumbles this game is looking great.

There’s three nfl teams that need a kicker. Show him off.

Better than I thought.  Defense is impressive.   O-line at least looks competent.

[Stripes]

Friendly flags tonight.

[membengal]

Given that I thought we were gonna get housed - the first half was heartening.

also, here’s the block from Carmen that got some chatter earlier…
