Game Thread: Preseason games....

Russell Wilson, taking sacks in Pittsburgh? Same results - new team. Just a matter of time, before people start blaming poor offensive line play for the reason for sacks.

Whatever else, Dallas has the best kicker in football

I looked like he didn't get a lot of power on the kick and I thought it was gonna be short. Wrong I was...

That kid looks like he has smooth easy power to me. Just seems to glide through the ball so you think it isn't much but has plenty of juice. Kinda like a smooth batters swing where the guy doesn't look like he's coming out of his shoes but hits bombs. Griffey Jr. comes to mind.

The Browns are plagued with injuries every single year, looks like another year of more injuries. They lost 3 backup OT’s in the stupid preseason game last night. Their two starting OT’s already on PUP. They lost their backup center last week.
They don’t play their starters so now their backups get hurt lol

I watched them here with local announcers. The slobbering was sickening.

That is pretty much every preseason game with local announcers. I imagine it like RTK announcing an Eagles game where every guy that is going to be cut at the end of camp is destined to be an all pro and potentially a hall of famer. It makes them more palatable.

kid from Dallas kicking gets best week2 performance. 66 yds is a record in reg season.

It seems like Pitt fans are already underwhelmed.

I will say that if you're problem is taking sacks and your solution is Justin Fields then you have a sick sense of humor

True, I'd probably vomit listening to local Cowboys announcers.

most kickers from that distance kick the ball much lower. Not our guy.

Dude is awesome

Well, the Packers probably don't have the depth to suffer too many injuries if our 2nd stringers vs Broncos starters means anything

Richardson looked good for the Colts on the first drive, so I switch to the Bears' game to see Williams Obviously the Bears don't think he needs reps so I get to watch Bagent...lame

You missed Richardson's pick 6?

All I watched was the 1st drive...and I pretty much knew something bad would happen for him once I posted...

Hate to see this shit.

What shit?

Sunshine seems healthy and is working the 2nd stringers from Atlanta...time for buc/fins...

 

[Moab]

Is Atlanta going to keep Heinecke and go with 3 QBs?

The more preseason games I watch the more I think the NFL should go to 18 regular season games with 2 preseason games. There are just too many stadiums that are 1/2 full, most teams play their starters very limited amounts of time to risk exposure and they're not really going into the games with anything other than vanilla O and base D. Most use it for reps to see what guys could have potential for injury replacement, practice squads and development. Basically the preseason has become almost obsolete.

I'm guessing we'll see that 18 game schedule in the next CBA. My thoughts are they should have 2 bye weeks and the byes should happen in a 4 week span. Something along the lines of all AFC teams are off week 6 and 13 and all NFC teams are off on 7 and 14, then flip it for the next season. That would also get rid of the imbalance of bye weeks and all teams have the same rest periods when they're playing.
