They will wouldn't have lost to Dallas had they "lost" this game. Why are you so obsessed with thinking pre-season games matter except for the Coaches to evaluate talent?

You tried to make "Grapefruit League Champion" a thing this year.

I feel like eventually, the ridiculous penalties and overall direction of the NFL will begin to hurt its bottom line. There will soon be a generation that doesn't care about the NFL all that much. Still make 100s of millions instead of billions.

They are going in the direction of the Arena Football League with these defensive penalties.

Seems they want to kill the idea that defense wins championships.

<font color=goldenrod>Legit glad to see Michael Sam playing well. The best case scenario was always that he played well and made the team based on his on-field performance. If he had a terrible preseason you know it would have been a shitstorm whether they decided to keep him or not.</font>

Ravens are 5-0 vs the Cowboys, Only other team with an undefeated record vs another team is the Texans who are 8-0 vsthe Dolphins, they are also 3-0 vs bears.

Nobody cares.

How many teams have are undefeated against the Cowboys since 1996 when only playing them 5 or less times?

Expansion teams are undefeated against teams they only face every once in awhile?

:eek:

How many of your games in that list are pre-season?

SO happy to have Jerome Boger back in my life

Preseason football is life.

Why with all the hate on Droford? If he likes preseason good for him. I wish i did, would be able to enjoy more football that way.

Nothing against Droford, but c'mon. Preseason football is fucking awful.

Make fun of Droford all you want, but at the end of the day he's the one laughing all the way to the bank with coupons in hand.

<font color=goldenrod>Odell Beckham re-injures his hamstring for the 3rd time in as many months, ruled out vs. the Jets where he was expected to finally get into a game.

Starting to doubt he'll play at all this season. Hamstring injuries take months and months to heal properly. Ugh.</font>

I like our new QB.

<font color=goldenrod>Brian Hoyer officially named the Browns' Week 1 starting QB to the surprise of nobody except ESPN.</font>

Johnny Backup
Johnny Clipboard
Johnny Bench
Johnny

Johnny Thankful He won't get eaten alive by people sick of his shit?

no

It appears Jim Kelly doesn't have the cancer anymore. Hooray for Jim Kelly.

Giants O-line can't do a god damn thing in the passing game. Eli is running for his life on every play. And now Schwartz got carted off.

Fuck.

Johnny Towel-Warmer.

Just stop....

<font color=goldenrod>The Giants' first string passing game finally put together a great drive. 2-minute drill, going 91 yards for a TD on mainly passing plays. Was glad Coughlin didn't bring them back out for the 3rd quarter. Let them Costanza it - leave on a high note. Geoff Schwartz dislocated a toe so that's certainly not a good thing with an already thin line. He'll likely be out a couple of weeks. Hopefully Beckham finally gets into a game the last week of preseason, I'd feel better about him if I could actually see him play.

Ryan Nassib has played great the last 2 games, yes primarily against backups and third stringers, but I think he's certainly played well enough to warrant being the only backup QB. A 3rd QB is a waste of a roster space in today's NFL. You're probably screwed if your starter gets knocked out for a long time, and regardless there is never a shortage of veteran QBs on the market to bring in as an extra backup later on if needed.

And Corey Washington with his 4th TD in as many games. His 53-man roster spot has to be secure by now, the only question is whether or not Coughlin will give him any sort of playing time in the regular season.</font>

Vito, the Giants need to threaten to fire Coughlin again. They'll likely win another Super Bowl.

Loving what I am seeing from Bortles though. He'll be the starter by game 3 at least. Henne just isn't a good starter. Manageable backup at best, but starter, no.

Just wait until week 2 or 3 where he has a bad couple of series' drives, and the team panics and let Manziel come in to "save the day". ESPN will have the QB controversy they clamor for. The allure of instant jersey/merch sales and knee-jerk fan pacification will trump a long range plan of trying to build a winning franchise.

<font color=goldenrod>Matt Prater suspended 4 games. And Wes Welker concussed again.</font>

Prater's suspension is weird. Official word is coming down tomorrow.

Won't be surprised if Welker doesn't make it through the entire season. This is getting out of hand now.

<font color=goldenrod>Sam Bradford out for the year. Torn ACL.</font>

Rams didn't have much of a chance in that division anyway, but Shaun Hill as the QB is going to make it worse

Heh. Could have sworn that the headline this morning was "Sam Bradford's ACL was fine". Or something of the like.

Wonder what SammyG is thinking right about now?

That is what 3 or 4 times within a year for Welker now?

Had a bunch of concussion problems and scares while he was on the Pats as well.

Yeah. Me thinks he needs some extra padding in that helmet of his. Or he's gonna be the poster boy the concussion issue NFL is dealing with right now.

Brees and the first teamers looked really good last night. The only time the Colts threatened was when Hasselbeck came in. Defense had Luck shook like a mother fucker.

<font color=goldenrod>I didn't think they'd win the division, but I figured they'd at least be in the mix for a wild card. Now there's probably like a 100% chance they finish last in division.

Jameis Winston should start shopping for crab legs in St. Louis.</font>

That means you thought they'd be 2nd in the division.

<font color=goldenrod>Not really. "In the mix" means they're in the hunt late in the season. I figured Seattle and San Francisco were playoff locks but if any division could produce 3 playoff teams, it's the NFC West. If you were to tell me Arizona or St. Louis would be the 2nd wild card I wouldn't have been surprised.

Arizona is still in play but I'm willing to rule St. Louis out now after the Bradford injury.</font>

So you like the whole West to go to the playoffs
