Please! does anyone remember the last time we played a pre-season game at the Metrodome? I do...I was a DISASTER! we lost Rob Moore and it seems like 3 other players in that game...I think it helped kill our season that year (when was it...I forget the year...1999?) I have a bad feeling about that place....

Play the guys that are pnly trying to make the team -- take the loss...forget about it....move into the regular season with a healthy team - Pleeeeeeeeeeeeese ...........

I believe that it was 2000. Tobins last stand.

To add insult to injury (literally), I believe that the Vikings really thrashed us that game. like 55-7 or something.

just horrible.


I'll go along with the no starters thing. NO Problem.

I'm pretty sure it was 1999. Expectations were high as we had just come off of a playoff victory the prior year. Rhinehart went down in that game as well.

When Moore got hurt you could just see the entire team get deflated. Then the carnage began.

55-7

I'll take 55-7 again in this final pre-season game.....with this caveat......NO INJURIES.

Ditto on the starter thing.

The Vikes really kicked the Raiders around..Randy Moss had 2 td passes...The Metrodome is a tough place to play(I saw the 98 playoff game there and just escaped with my life!)..I am nervous about this game,,,,the 200 preseason game was on a Thursday night as well...where is that Pumkin anti-curse thing when you need it!?
