Preseason Games Thread - Observations and commentary from the FBG Shark Pool (1 Viewer)

[ILUVBEER99]

As someone from Winnipeg, I'm slightly insulted, mildly entertained, and overjoyed that they are playing a preseason game there with the players supporting (trying to?) the local town.  

Reports are decent tickets were $400+ and even garbage seats $75+.  Stadium will supposedly be less than half full.  LOL at NFL thinking Canadians were dumb enough to pay that for a worthless preseason game.

The other thing being mulled is an 80-yard field to avoid the end zone, source says. But few people seem to know how that’ll even work. Again, stay tuned.

Kickoffs are all from the undamaged end of the field.  Any time there's a change of possession going towards the damaged end zone, flip the field so the offense is always going towards the "good" end.

They're announcing on the #Packers broadcast that Coach Matt LaFleur is not going to play any starters tonight and they're going to shorten the field.

 

[Iceman03]

Every single one of Goodell’s ideas are off the charts stupid.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Michel looks quick

Has a real nice run called back for a hold

 

[Penguin]

Sony Michel with a 36 yard run that won't make the box score

 

[Penguin]

33 #Packers will not be suiting up for tonight's game.

 

[sho nuff]

As if the preseason isn't enough of a joke...an 80 yard field...a field that wasn't checked out before hand as being safe...just awful by the NFL.

 

[Penguin]

Cam leaves with a leg injury

ETA: NFL Network saying foot injury now

 

[ffldrew]

Redskins should be letting Haskins go with the 1's. Case Keenum looks the same as ever. Captain checkdown and 3 and out. They aren't going anywhere with him so why not go all in on the rookie.

 

[JoeJoe88]

Rosen is going to win the Miami job by default.  Fitz has looked pretty bad.

 

[Osaurus]

I guess the Chick Fil A at Mercedes-Benz stadium is actually open.

This game is a who's who of players not to draft 

 

[Biabreakable]

This game is a who's who of players not to draft 

At least we got Joe Buck.

 

[JaxBill]

Meet the new Jags offense.  Same as the old Jags offense.

 

[Todem]

Fitz is terrible. Hell the entire Dolphins team is an abortion. 

I want nothing to do with that offense......nada.

 

[Ilov80s]

There is zero doubt that the defenses are way ahead of the offenses right now across the league.

I don't think most of the offenses are really trying right now.

 

[Ilov80s]

Well Miami and Jax offenses are trying but they are pretty much DOA 

 

[Milkman]

Haskins isn't ready. He may never be but he should sit a year. 

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

I guess the Chick Fil A at Mercedes-Benz stadium is actually open.

well its thursday

 

[Osaurus]

well its thursday

So it’s open maybe 4 times this season?

 

[Milkman]

Well Miami and Jax offenses are trying but they are pretty much DOA 

I think we should give them more than one series. 

 

[Penguin]

Is it me or does that Geico Gecko never age?

 

[Interseptopus]

is there a reason the field is in such bad shape? late to the party. 

This is ridiculous. Should have canceled the game and played it tomorrow in Green Bay

 

[Milkman]

Plus Jags D is legit good. 

 

[Ilov80s]

I think we should give them more than one series. 

Both offenses have had the ball twice and have a combined 10 yards. 

 

[JaxBill]

Jags challenge in part I think because punt team was late getting on field .

 

[Milkman]

I'd actually be excited for Fournette owners at this point. Two series. Two targets. 

 

[Penguin]

They had to remove the Canadian Field Goal Posts to set up the American dimension field and the turf that replaced them had major seams exposed

 

[Milkman]

Both offenses have had the ball twice and have a combined 10 yards. 

Ok you win. Jags offense is terrible. My bad. 

 

[Ilov80s]

I think the announcers were wrong about something. They said once a review is initiated, everything is reviewable- including PI away from the play. That can't be true? Doesn't the ball have to be catchable for that receiver to have a PI call?

 

[JaxBill]

I'd actually be excited for Fournette owners at this point. Two series. Two targets. 

But he has to

A) Catch them

B) Make somebody miss

He does neither well

 

[Penguin]

Maybe they meant defensive holding instead

NM, that doesn't make sense

 

[Interseptopus]

Thanks. Why were they talking about guys slipping and rounding off their routes? is the field beat up too? doesn't look great

 

[Man In The Box]

Yep. Miami’s O-line is still terrible. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Ok you win. Jags offense is terrible. My bad. 

I think most people agree that the Jags have a bad offense. It's the general opinion.

 

[joffer]

bump C. Uzomah

 

[Milkman]

A) Catch them

B) Make somebody miss

He does neither well

I agree but you don't see the usage as a positive?

 

[Todem]

I'd actually be excited for Fournette owners at this point. Two series. Two targets. 

And he cannot move.

 

[JaxBill]

Josh Allen best player on field so far. 

Pretty terrible game in summary.

 

[Todem]

But he has to

A) Catch them

B) Make somebody miss

Exactly.....he looks lethargic. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Maybe they meant defensive holding instead

That could be. However, I think it will be awful if they start calling random penalties away from the ball on replays. 

 

[Todem]

Josh Allen best player on field so far. 

Pretty terrible game in summary.

That Miami OL is pure hot garbage. 

 

[Milkman]

I think most people agree that the Jags have a bad offense. It's the general opinion.

I agree the Jags offense with Blake Bortles sucks. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Josh Allen best player on field so far. 

Pretty terrible game in summary.

As a Lions fan, I am already starting to cringe over this 

 

[Penguin]

Thanks. Why were they talking about guys slipping and rounding off their routes? is the field beat up too? doesn't look great

Main concern was the end zone were it was patched, they were out there looking at it for over an hour. Even tried glueing it back down. Guy was standing on a sand bag for like 30 minutes on top of that area

 

[Biabreakable]

Fournette not getting much room.

 

[JaxBill]

I agree but you don't see the usage as a positive?

Positive it will frustrate me all season why they didn't pick up a legit change of pace back 

 

[Biabreakable]

Foles throws behind Westbrook on 3rd down but he still makes the catch. 1st down finally.
