Was real happy with the rebuilt Giants performance for first time out of the box.

Very promising start to the Vikings overhaul....QB play was solid and overall we got some good results.

We have a solid base to build and fine tune our game plan as we enter the regular season.

Optimistic in Minnesota

A Good scrimmage with the much improved Lions. No real pame plan just testing out plays, players and a new rule. I will have a more detailed game plan in week 2. One can only hope we can eek out a .500 season?.................................................MM

Pretty nervous about this roster, I still think we aren't completely competitive and I'm trying to make some roster moves to build a team that can be competitive right now while also trying to build a long run team.

sometimes the best move is no move at all. Folks get swept up in trades and cuts and draft picks and they overlook the obviousness of caling a good game! lol not just talking about you young man...........................................MM

What happened to my offense? 8th in yardage last year nothing changed except young players getting better and that look terrible.

No balance on offense is the 1st thing I noticed but I have no idea how many pass plays (short/medium/long) you are using and what you play matrix is set to.

2 preseason games
101 passes 85%
18 runs 15%

Last season

618 passes 65%
333 runs 35%

................And then you go and make a bonehaed trade like you did! NO move at all was the right answer. If you want to know what's wrong with your team don't blame the players coaches or sims. The answer is hanging on a wall somewhere in your home? lol.....................MM

GG Cowboys /Senna, Your Offense showed some signs of life in 3Q Honestlt I saw you a bit of a pass heavy scheme and GP'd accordingly. I was shacked that we kept you out of the end zone. NOt picking on you sir but failing to have a K in play is not only a violation of league rules and tanking. Not haveing a K is a HUGE disadvantage to your team. Remember If you sign a new K and cut the old one the AI willl not activate him. You have to do it. When signing a FA it's best to make sure you have the player B4 you cut the old one. I know we al have made that mistake.....................MM

And a no move would have me out of this league for underperforming, even if I only have a one year use for him, it's better than sitting at a record less than 5-11 having made absolutely no changes and expect a better season. Free Agency was a bust, the draft failed miserably, and the only thing I have left is to make overly aggressive trades to try to win now. This is win now mode because I'm running out of time to prove my worth in this league. If I have to make "bonehead" trades, I will make bonehead trades for a one year player that will hopefully give me a season that will make you guys think I deserve to stay in this league.
