Last night's Packers v 49ers OMG.

sdandrea1

professor Do you think they project better this year? And are they staying healthy?

I only have sports talk radio to keep track and I've been busy with family, so I don't know much. I get tuned in once the season starts. None of the projections matter anyway - the truth is on the turf.

Yes, agreed. My "sports talk radio" theme has always create a ruckus. They tend to do that well. So, at this stage there are significant concerns about all the gaps on the Eagles roster. On paper, I see one position of question on this years defense - with three viable replacement candidates. All that crap goes out the window as soon as real games start and starters start getting injured.

I have nothing but high expectations for and fear of the Eagles. 😉

Caleb Williams tearing it up in the preseason!

Down go the Browns!!!! I've always thought Flacco was "streaky" but not sustainable.

I'm not surprised about Flacco. Seems Cleveland will QB by committee this year. Lots of fodder for the media and fans. What a circus! Where's Deshaun Watson and how much is he getting paid?!

sdandrea1 Can the Browns really be downed? They are pretty much always already down.

professor

sdandrea1 I've always thought Flacco was "streaky" but not sustainable.

"In the 2012 NFL season, Joe Flacco had a passer rating of 87.7 with 3,817 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 16 games. He led the Baltimore Ravens to a Super Bowl victory and was named Super Bowl MVP. His postseason performance was particularly strong, with 1,140 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions in 4 games, resulting in a passer rating of 117.2. "

That's a really nice bit of "Streaky" right there. Seems something NVP Lamar Jackson hasn't quite accomplished - getting "streaky" in the playoffs?

stroh

professor Where's Deshaun Watson and how much ~~is he getting~~ did he get paid?!

professor I would imagine they don’t even want to mention Watson’s name after that contract blunder. They’ll figure out 2 and 3 with Sanders and Gabriel and probably not have to mention anything after that.

Kenny Pickett?

He's still a Brown, under contract and getting paid $46 million/year.

azgreg

Watson is still recovering from his Achilles injury.

Sorry, ment Watson.

Bengals Safety #27 is a pussy! He had a free shot, at the goal line on Jayden Daniels. He didn’t make an effort! Omg! You’re cut!

Just watched the opening drive for Washington. 4 plays. 2 long rushes, a stop and a JD scramble for the TD. Unusual peek at a preseason contest.

Watching a BritBox crime series on Prime. Code of Silence......👍👍👍

stroh

There's football on tonight?

No, Washington is playing the Bengals. 😉😂

I just checked back in. We're down 28 to 17 in the 4th. Don't know who's playing offense for Washington right now.

There definitely seems to be a different focus for “very good” versus “very bad” teams … and it’s probably warranted, as bad teams need to evaluate a lot more open roster spots while also reshaping their culture (not to mention to give their fanbase hope - if ownership has any say).
