One thing.
Stay healthy, get out of there and set the week 1 roster.

Can we win one PS game? I don’t think they are all that important, but being 0-3 won’t make Payton a happy camper.

Maybe an angry Payton will make us better? ;)

It would be nice to win 1.

In case OC asks, tell him the game is Saturday at 9:00 pm his time. (That would be 7:00 CO time)

I’m hoping to see more of Drew Sanders, he was fun to watch last week.

Hopefully not too much though. but a little bit for sure. Needs more reps to be ready. Game 3 probably mostly PS and non roster players risking the injuries for week 1.

Hope we scorch them. Still upset about the Christmas Day game last year…

How much work do we expect the starters to get in this one? I am guessing they play into the 3rd quarter?

Not long. Last PS game majority of times starters don’t even play but with the switch with one less PS game that changes strategy a bit. Guessing they won’t play long though. Don’t wanna risk injury before first game and need to figure out last few roster spots by playing those guys on the bubble. It will be interesting with Payton though what he decides.

I will be really surprised if the starters play into the 3rd quarter.

I could be wrong but I would be really surprised starters play long. Payton could see this as a "new opportunity" for him and wants the team to get a better rehearsal beings they are still getting chemistry amongst each other and a culture switch. That being said, just very rare you see a team play starters into the 3rd quarter the last PS game. However, this new schedule of only having 3 PS games as oppose to 4 can shake things up a little. 3 years ago no starters played the last week of PS among all the 32 NFL teams.

I do think Brett Maher needs all the work he can. Maybe we should kick field goals every time we are inside the 30 to see if he still has it. ;)

Yeah, that's really what I'm trying to figure out. Before the schedule adjustment, the third preseason game was the dress rehearsal and the last preseason game was a chance for all the roster bubble players to make their case or put some good film up so other teams might sign them. So is this one the third game dress rehearsal or the last game roster bubble game?

Brave new world!

I think he was asked how long they would play and he said he wasn't sure if he would even play the starters in this one. Said if they do it would only be a series or two.

This is what I figured. Back in the OLD PS format it was pretty common they would sit the last game... New format, makes sense they may play a series or two.

Payton said he would play a few starters for Game 3 but not many.

Jeudy is getting an MRI on his hamstring. Say some prayers. This is getting old and we haven't even started the season yet.
