Preseason Games

[Smonroe]

VS Panthers

@ Minnesota

@ Detroit

 

I always look forward to these games, mainly to see the new guys.  This year it will be first time we see any of the QBs on the roster since … 2012?
 

As always, getting out of the preseason with no injuries is the first objective.  Winning games is the last (although I’m sure some will still complain is we lose).

 

So psyched for August!

A couple years ago it was actually a decent, fun game.  But mostly it was unwatchable.   The NFL did good dumping that fourth game.

The question I have now is this: will the 3rd game become a throwaway game like the 4th was?

 

I'd like to say no, because there won't be enough time to waste in the preseason now.

3 is the perfect amount of preseason games because some unknowns may really shine in a game or 2 and make the roster. 4 games is too many. I would play the starters in game 2 for a half anyway.

That's my hunch as well, that hopefully nothing really changes for games 1-3, because they've always been entertaining with game 3 as the "dress rehearsal". 

 

I'm just excited to finally see what Eason can do on the field.

Me 2.  But I won't be surprised if Ehlinger becomes the fan favorite.  He'll probably be playing against and with 2nd and 3rd teamers and running for his life.  

 

He'll be the new Swag!

They are ugly.  But still better than the Browns.  Cleveland has an appropriate team name...

Yeah, he's a great kid, and we already support him for his adversity.

I would agree, mostly from what I heard is the week 3 will still be 2 weeks out from the season, not the Thursday before
