BringBackFergy Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 None of us have a clue which players are ready for real games (when the real bullets fly). Many agree with me - that I still don’t have a handle on Austin Prohl or whether Chandler should stay or be replaced by Croom. Reilly busted a rib - I bet he wished he had another game to showcase his talents and become acclimated to NFL games. It makes sense to many of us and would, in fact, cut down on injuries as the older players’ bodies would become acclimated to contact after a long off season. Extend the Pre-season by one more week and let the coaches and GM’s do their jobs evaluating talent. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing Coffin Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) lollll good luck getting that to fly with the players Your argument is completely hindsight, with no foresight to realize that simply more people would be injured for the 5th game, and you'd be making the same argument for needing 6 preseason games instead What would be better, is elongate the season. 60 players on the roster, 2-3 preseason games, 17 games, 2 bye weeks Edited August 30, 2018 by Laughing Coffin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t address guys who have busted ribs and need to miss three games. 4 minutes ago, Laughing Coffin said: lollll good luck getting that to fly with the players Your argument is completely hindsight, with no foresight to realize that simply more people would be injured for the 5th game, and you'd be making the same argument for needing 6 preseason games instead Your argument fails...I’d bet good money that the guys on the lower end of the 90 player roster would love to play another one or two games to prove themselves. Hey, look at it this way, you don’t have to watch. Plus, all the veterans who you’re concerned about don’t even play. 3 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: 6 preseason games like the old days!!!

I like to be 100% sure if all 53 guys on the roster are ready. Edited August 30, 2018 by Starr Almighty 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Please, no. Cut it to 2 games if anything. The coaches study these players enough during camp to know what they have and don’t have.

BubbaT Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Ugh. Rip my finger nails out one by one but don't subject America to more of these exhibitions. If they don't know after OTA's, mandatory mini camps and what seems like an eternity of training camp well shame on them. This isn't rocket science.

Kirby Jackson Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Good topic Fergy!! I agree, we need to see more of these QBs, WRs and TEs!! We need to see the OL gel. Edmunds needs more reps. This is a good plan. I’d probably take it to 6 but 5 is a nice start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
