Couldn't get the video stream (ugh) so listening to the game on KFAN's audio stream, which is great to have, but I keep missing things.
Positives:
We scored first!
Sounded like Cassel and Patterson had a little chemistry going, which is good.
Blair Walsh makes a 30 yarder to make the score 10-0, glad he's keeping in shape.
Interception by Kurt Coleman!
Field goal blocked by Gerald Hodges.
Negatives:
S Mistral Raymond is out with "concussion-like' symptoms. UGH. Because we can afford to lose any defensive players!
Bridgewater finishes the half 3/8 for 24 yards. Sorry, I know you gotta give QBs a year or two, but really? Blah.
Bridgewater game total: 6/13, 49 yds.Slight improvement. Ish.
Blair Walsh missed a FG from 53 yards. I mean, this isn't hugely bad, but it's not a positive.
Twitter Notes:
Vikings have 8 first downs with 1:51 left in first quarter
Anthony Barr gets a sack!
Jerick McKinnon had six carries for 36 yards on his first drive for the Vikings - he's a rookie.
AJ Mansour - A lot of attention being put on Teddy & the offense but the Vikings defense has allowed 139 yards, 6 first downs & 0 point through 1 half.
Raiders score a TD and PAT is good with 1:25 left in the game. Vikings lead 10-6.
HALFTIME:
The Vikings lead the Raiders 10-0 at the half.
Cassel - 5/6 for 62 yards
Bridgewater - 3/8 for 24 yards
McKinnon - 45 yards
FINAL:
Vikings WIN 10-6!!
We won. I'm happy! Can't wait to see some footage tomorrow, wish I could've seen the game. Still, we won!
