White had an INT if he didn’t go for the hit.

Looks like scripted offensive plays that Nate didn’t adjust to the defense being on the field....

Forgot it’s Michaels and Collingsworth announcing. Can’t stand either of them. Also can’t stand to hear Rodney Harrison pontificate. Useless group. Hopefully a good game, kinda rooting for Philly.

I gotta say after watching the video, give him a look. His 2 TD’s were better throws than Tyrod can do. First one, threw they guy open. Second one, let the receiver make a play. Most of the throws were short passes, almost screens. Seemed to be situational with short yardage for a first. He did seem to make those dump off passes after looking downfield a few times. Honestly remember the hype over him. Concerned that he’s been a disaster. Worth a look see and possibly be our 3rd running the scoUt team.

McVeigh snapped at some point, I just don’t buy the Bills losses contributed in any significant way to his turn. I’m sure losing a grand wasn’t fun, but there were many other issues in his life that made him change.

Bojorquez didn’t even punt once in a preseason game. Must of really hated Schmidt.

Not going to get crazy over a punter, but what the heck? Incumbent in NE had 22 punts in preseason, yet this kid had none. A couple of bad punts can turn a game. Hope they did their due diligence, would have rather kept Ryan if they were this hell bent on booting Colton.

Don't believe O’Leary has it in him to be the #1 TE. Still would have kept him, like what he’s done.

A little surprised he was traded. Kinda expected him to be the veteran presence. Surprised we got a 5th.

2 first round picks? Absolutely! Would do it in a heartbeat. As mentioned by others, 1st round picks are a crap shoot. With Mack you know exactly what your getting...a generational player. He’ll be a stud on your team for many years. The track record of 1st rounders league wide is poor at best, again with Mack you know exactly what you’re getting. As as far as $$$, our cap is looking good starting next year, so structure the deal to accommodate that. Stay under the cap this year, then take the hit next year and beyond.

Not sure the line is as bad as they loooked. I know we lost Woods and Incognito. Don’t count Glenn as he was out most of last year. There were some jailbreaks on Allen, but he also held the ball a bit. Also, not sure how much game planning the team did. Would they have played better without generic blocking schemes? lastly, Castillo has a track record of being a poor o-line coach, so there’s room for an upgrade there.

For me, it’s not about win now or win later. It’s about not getting Allen, or others injured because he doesnt have the command of the offense. What’s wrong with letting him sit? Other players sit all the time and learn how to be a pro. I want Allen to start for sure. Just don’t want to rush him if he’s not ready.

Depends on what the cap implications are.

No reason not to. Peterman is pretty serviceable and has played better than Allen this preseason. Much better stats, more productivity. There have been QB’s who have benefited from sitting, and others from being thrown to the wolves. If we had no other option, play him. Peterman is playing well enough to start. I was a proponent of starting Allen. After today, I have to change my mind. He is physically gifted and has the tools for greatness. Needs to let the game slow down a bit and make quicker decisions. I’ll support either regardless of who starts.

Afraid of damaging him, mentally and physically. Never seemed to be down and out this game, kept swinging.

Bush for President!

Allen has the physical tools, needs the game to slow down a bit. Needs some time to sit and learn. Albeit, the o-line did him no favors with a few of the jailbreaks. He did cause some of the blocking issues with the slow release.

How can the o-line be so bad? Know we lost Woods, but we shouldn’t be this bad. How awful.

I know it’s preseason and game planning is thin. Holy smokes our secondary looks terrible.

Someone please block....

Murphy has to be the 2nd string back.

Nice tackling

Did the yearly dance. Been with Directtv for about 15 years, and with AT&T cellular for 6 months. Asked for retention right off the bat, don’t haggle with the regulars reps, they can’t do anything. At first she offered me internet for $50/month and full boat ST Max with a $55 credit. Nope. Told her don’t want the internet. Spoke for about 5 minutes, and she came back with: ST Max - $65 per month $55 credit on bill for 12 months $5 credit per month on Cinemax Comes out out to a total of $300 credit over 12 months, with ST Max totally free. Did a bit better than last year when I called and they proactively had given me ST Max for free, no other credits. Thing is, some sort of credit is available for al DTV customers, whether it be MLB, NHL, or free movie channels. Just have to ask. I also call Time Warner/Spectrum yearly and ask for better rates, they also will offer credits. Most difficult is cell phone bills, but call every 6 months at least to see if there are better plans that’ll save you a couple of bucks.

Week 1 and I’m concerned. Vanilla game plan in preseason. I hope....

Allen has shown flashes of brilliance. Unbelievable arm strength, some pocket presence, command of the huddle. His potential is incredible. McCarron looked horrible last night, not as good as last week. Peterman looked OK, not as good as last week, but would start him over AJ in a minute. That being said, Allen isn’t As NFL ready as the other two, but you have to start him. Put him in next week for the first half, if not first 3 quarters. His few rookie plays a game are outweighed by his ability. Did I say that dudes arm is unbelievable? If he starts, the expectation can’t be the playoffs, 7-9 would be my guess. I’m fine with that.
