Is there a good link to watch the game? I'd really like to see it tonight instead of on delay...

Lets see what kind of overreactions and hating this first pre-season game and pre-season as a whole brings from Fins fans

Fins win toss and elect to receive which is already a rarity from last season when they too often differed opening kickoff despite claiming to want to set the tone early. lets see what they do here

The Fins are off to a good start. The Oline is playing well against a good Dline. THill & Stills connected on a few plays. Drake is also playing well.

Scoreless opening drive for the Fins after a pass-happy first drive. Need to clean up penalties that have been a problem all of camp.

Unlikely, but hopefully the Fins give RT one more drive where they make an attempt to mix up the offensive calls a little more.

They overcame the penalty. Hopefully we'll see less penalties this year.

The pass to Amendola was just an ill-advised play call IMO. I know its pre-season but that down and distance deserved a better play call.

With his injury history, I really hope the Fins DONT try to do the big/quick plays with him even though he is capable - don't want him to increase the chances of exposing him to another concussion

Not the best start by the Fins defense.

TB chewed up Fins D as I expected after a scoreless first drive for Fins.

At least its TB and they miss kicks there on a regular basis

David Fales in now - so much for RT getting another drive to actually do something

Nice run by Ballage -- must be said: I hope that this isn't just a pre-season thing but something Tase and the Fins offensive staff takes into the regular season -- inexperienced/unproven as they may be, the Fins DO have depth on offense and Gase needs to use it. Gase can't play favorites or be predictable offensively this season as far as who he calls plays for -- the fins have offensive weapons, depth and versatility -- AG needs to use it.

I think the issue on that play was it was overthrown by THill. It was his only bad pass during the drive.

I don't think the Fins can worry too much about protecting Amendola. He is a pro WR. He knows how to protect himself.

Fales & Wilson are making plays. Ballage is showing good speed.

Great effort by Gesicki on the nearly impossible catch.

Sanders made the close FG.

Well, at least it looks like Minakah Fitzpatrick will join Reshad Jones as one of the few bright spots on the Fins D until everyone else catches on

On defense Minkah made a few good plays that helped lead to the punt.

Ballage had another good run. He is another rookie who is playing well. I think Gesicki will also be an impact player for the team.

Ballage showing his speed again - then athleticism - then that he is a rookie by trying to do too much and doesn't protect the ball and loses it.

Ballage will need to learn to hold on to the ball better. There was no need to try to hurdle the guy. He had the first down already. It's a learning experience for him. Better now in preseason than in the regular season.

Another nearly effortless rushing TD for TB
