I'm fading Ajayi, Miami's line looks horrendous.

No Pouncey.

RT James and center Pouncy are out but should play in game 1. The guard positions are a problem, but LT Tunsil could be a stud.

 

[SoBeDad]

Mallet looks bad. No surprise,.

 

[SoBeDad]

Cutler time 

Made 2 nice downfield throws, including a 31 yarder to Parker which was negated by a penalty. The job is his.

 

[SoBeDad]

Mallet looks bad. No surprise,.

Perfect throw to Xavien Howard, 2nd year CB who's rising fast. Kapernick is better than Mallet.

 

[SameSongNDance]

NYJ vs. BUF week one is going to be the ugliest game of football ever played.

 

[need2know]

I know it's preseason but tb offense looks good

 

[ponchsox]

Winston looks terrific.

 

[eoMMan]

I know it's preseason but tb offense looks good

Yup. Winston could be a top 3 QB this year...maybe #1.

 

[ponchsox]

And the Bucs still don't have a kicker.

 

[opensourcebeer]

Winston looks terrific.

Agreed.  The whole TB offense looks strong.  

 

[Sarlakticacid]

I know it's preseason but tb offense looks good

Indeed. Utilizing multiple targets. Escaping pressure and he seems to be more aware where the los is when scrambling 

 

[kyoun1e]

Doug Martin...zero RB gold?

 

[need2know]

I'm buying bucs offense anywhere I can in the redraft....

 

[TripItUp]

Doug Martin...zero RB gold?

I've been preaching this for the past month here..nobody listens. 

 

[Weebs210]

I've been preaching this for the past month here..nobody listens. 

Going to have to reach for him soon at this rate.

Currently have D. Martin slotted somewhere in the 8th and J. Rodgers in the 12th. 

Hmmm.

Is he being show cases for a trade...

 

[SameSongNDance]

For ####s sake Bortles, how do you under throw that?

 

[ponchsox]

Bortles is just awful.

 

[opensourcebeer]

Miserable throw by Bortles.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

For ####'s sake.

 

[Sarlakticacid]

Same old Jags 

 

[Weebs210]

Is he being show cases for a trade...

I don't think so. Bucks are going to have a good team this year and he is their best back by far.

 

[SameSongNDance]

I mean, if Bortles can't hit ARob when he's getting 5 yards of separation how is he going to hit him when he gets 2? How is he allowed on the field?

 

[The Duff Man]

NYJ vs. BUF week one is going to be the ugliest game of football ever played.

No....but the game with that title does include the Bills

Browns 6.  Bills 3

The winning team completed two passes

I think even his own teammates are finally getting tired of him.   They lose a couple games I guess they go to henne?  Why don't they have another QB on the roster after last year?

 

[Sarlakticacid]

Evans catching beach balls

 

[barackdhouse]

I knew Bortles was bad but I didn't realize he was this terrible. They played a lowlight reel early in the broadcast that made me cringe.

Winston is killing it. And Martin looks great.

 

[ponchsox]

N/M

I was about to go back and watch that game while playing this in the background but then I realized NFL Gamepass only goes back to 2011. I'm pretty disappointed right now.

Wait..I found the highlights. 

 

[SameSongNDance]

Winston..why?

 

[ponchsox]

Ugh, same old Winston. Looks brilliant than he makes a WTF play.

 

[barackdhouse]

Winston is killing it.

Oof. Foot in mouth. 

 

[Sarlakticacid]

Gotta protect that ball

 

[opensourcebeer]

Wow, Bortles.  Trying to one hop the ball to Arob.

 

[SameSongNDance]

I'm at the point where I'm unsure as to whether or not Bortles is simply trolling everyone.

 

[Arodin]

I'm at the point where I'm unsure as to whether or not Bortles is simply trolling everyone.

It's the 1st half.  Bortles only completes passes in the 4th qtr.

 

[Milkman]

Bortles has always sucked ###. 

 

[Stealthycat]

QB Brandon Allen is a good QB

Not great .... but at Arkansas he had some great games, no doubt about that. 

 

[Ilov80s]

This is Chad Henne's job to lose at this point, right? Bortles has no confidence at all. 

 

[TheDirtyWord]

Interesting aspect to Bortles is that Jags could/should simply RGIII him.  If he gets hurt, they have to pay him in 2018. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Anyone see anything of note in the Bills/Eagles or Ravens/Dolphins games?

Clement played decent and Blount did not. Blount has been old all camp. Eagles RB probably all worthless this year.

So Smallwood is worth a late flyer?

Tyrod is done, right?

I think no one is worth a flier. They are all mediocre at best, and there are so many of them no one will get enough touches to make up for that mediocrity.

i wish they could adjust the timing of these games. That game would be absolutely perfect for the 3rd Monday night Football game (yeah i know, not west coast, but whatevs) and have Chris Berman doing the color commentary. Him and Dilfer
