2025 Philadelphia Eagles - Pro Football HOF sculptors in Canton begin work on the Tanner McKee bust. (34 Viewers)

[renesauz]

In an effort to avoid a slow start to begin the regular season, CIN plans to play all of their starters tonight, for at least a few series.

Sirianni wouldn’t reveal his plan, but I doubt we see any offensive starters but maybe some of the D will see a few reps.

I wonder how slow of a start they will have if Chase or Burrow or Higgins come up with a lingering hamstring injury in this completely meaningless game. I can’t believe in 2025. There are still teams willing to put their key starters out in these preseason games.

I tend to disagree. We see a lot of bad football in the first few weeks of the season. Starters aren't ready to play at their peak. I think satrters SHOULD get at least a couple of drives in at least 2 pre-season games. Players need to be ready to get hit, to tackle.
The fact that hardly anybody plays them levels the field in this regard, but I think it's a mistake. Overall season long injury risks aren't greatly elevated.

As a Bengals fan, I wholeheartedly agree. That is really good to hear that we are expected to put them out there for a few series. I hope they do that all three games, but probably not. I was starting to think Zac Taylor would never learn.

Half these teams start too slow the rules for camp etc don’t help. I get player safety etc but these are no different then a joined practice only players can hit more and QBs are game

I'm basing it only on my perception of a small sample size (Bengals only) from memory, but it sure seems like the Bengals start slow and they are one team that has seemed to avoid using starters almost entirely in preseason the last several years. Actual statistics would bear out a more meaningful result, but that is my perception.

In 2024, when they started 1-4, the week 1 Patriots game was the only one where they SHOULD have won. The rest or the games were all losable games.

In 2023, they lost to two playoff teams in week 1 and week 2.

In 2022, they lost to a division rival and a playoff team.

In 2021, they started 3-1.

In 2020, they were just bad, only won 4 games.

I don't think the Bengals slow starts are a product of their preseason preparation. They just happened to play some teams that turned out to be pretty good early.

In those 5 years of Burrow starts, they were 0.100 in games 1-2 and 0.635 in games 3-playoffs.
In 2022, after starting 0-2, they went 12-2 in the regular season and 3-1 in the playoffs (beating Mahomes).
0.100 is well below what you'd expect even for underdogs playing 10 games.
There's more to this then they just happened to play some good teams early.
Drew Brees and the Saints had a similar run from 2014-2018 (1-9 in the first two games of each season), sometimes it just seems like some teams start slow.

And my recollection (again, not data) is that they weren't just losses in the early games, but particularly ugly losses, especially on the offensive side.

The Eagles have been at the forefront of limiting hitting in practice, ending two a days, benching their key starters for preseason and generally focusing on player safety. They have also been the model of health over the past few years. They had all their starters in the Super Bowl three years ago and all but Nakobe start in the Super Bowl last year. Anecdotal, I know, but the idea that playing them - even for a quarter - doesn't increase their injury risk, is crazy. Of course it does.

A team like the Eagles, that are good enough to potentially play up to 20 or 21 games have to plan accordingly, IMO.

What qb hungry team? Can't think of many who don't have their starter locked in this year and/or just spent high draft capital on their future qb.

Far from it.

I have legitimate reasons, as I detailed in the L4 Thread, concerning a commitment to a High-Stakes Investment partnership that involves more $ than most people, besides Chet, of course, make in a month. Maybe even a quarter.

I even began my post with 'Unfortunately', while you were dismissive.

...and despite the fact that I've clearly voiced my dipleasure with, and loudly complained about the Sleeper platform, AND I did crappy in the inaugural Footballguys Bowl last year, I'm not only jumping back in this year, but I'm competing in a Shark Pool Dedicated League, rather than vs a bunch of randos, which will be even more challenging, but allows me to participate, in the only way I am able to - a free League.

You, other hand, are just making excuse that flies in the face of the Philly mentality I became accustomed to while growing up, in college, and during my career - whatever happened to "any time, any place, anywhere?"

To your credit, you're a step ahead of the rest of the smack-talking cravens in here who continue to post right along, while conveniently disregarding the fact that I'm pointing out a golden opportunity for you all to legitimately validate your claim to supremacy, via putting your money where your mouth is.

So, you've got that going for you...

I don't know, maybe some of you are *just* Eagles fans, and not actual Philadelphians. That's would make more sense.

No self-respecting Philly guy I know (and I know plenty) would ever back down from an opportunity to show who's boss in a fair fight.

Do with it what you will...
