SoCal Deek Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I know everyone's excited about seeing Josh Allen start this Sunday afternoon, but I just noticed the incredibly short week coming up before Week 4 next Thursday night rolls around. Will that have an impact on the guys still trying to make the final roster? Does it give them time to recuperate any dings this Sunday? Will the short week (made shorter with travel) make the Bears game even more meaningless? And...why did the Bills (NFL) schedule the Bengals game for late on Sunday? I can't imagine the Coaching staff is all that thrilled about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Not that big of a deal with the starters very likely playing into the 3rd quarter on Sunday and the 3rd/4th string guys getting extensive action in the 4th game. /thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Still wondering what they're gonna do at qb for the 4th game. I can't imagine they wanna risk Peterman or Allen getting injured and who knows what's happening with McCarron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it was a big deal. The question is does it come into play at all? Who's going to be playing QB? Will the starters play at all? They typically do, even for a short stint, but on less than three days rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the playing time matter for a bunch of banged up guys trying to impress and make an NFL roster...yes, it does. But, it's going to be extra tough on a guy who gets dinged late on Sunday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 it will be interesting to see what they do at QB. Like was said, can't see them risking any of the three. Logan Thomas has bee suggested, but he is a battle to keep his TE job, can't imagine he or his positions coaches want to waste time tinkering at QB. I think a temp hire is on the cards.

GunnerBill Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 If Allen seals the job on Sunday then I expect him and the first team offense to all sit in PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your statement is worded in such a way that it could mean Coach Jackson will put on equipment and play quarterback for the whole game for the Browns. With that organization, it's entirely possible. Ought to earn him his helmet stripe as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to risk any more injuries this preseason. McCarron against the Bears' best in SFV Arcade Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 This is not abnormal. Happens most years, give or take a day or two. It sets them up with a nice long break between the final preseason game and the season opener. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread was focused on the short week coming up after Sunday afternoon. In my way of thinking this short week including a travel day will make the Bears game even more of a total waste than is generally the case with how teams have come to treat Week 4. It seems like a bit of a shame for those trying to land a job. And is made really challenging for the QB who’s going to get thrown to the wolves....I mean, Bears! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Popinski Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 None of the guys who play in week 4 are likely to make the team, or very few. I'd rather they did play Thursday, it gives the team more time to prep for the opener. Thursday for week 4 should be the only night any preseason games are played.

So I guess the question is...why is there a Week 4? Why not just have a Bye Week? If the teams continue to evolve this into an unglorifed scrimmage I can see changes coming.
