Lol right.  That looked like an INT if the safety turned his head.  Diontae blew past the corner and Ben underthrew that pass by 5-10 yards.  Should have/would have been a TD, if Ben of 5 years ago was passing

On the very next play, he tried to get Najee Harris killed with a high pass to the flat.

It’s a horrible game. 7-7 into the 3rd qtr until the browns finally scored 

They blacked it out in WNY as well.  I watched the pregame on NFL network and then they put on the Titans/Bucs game...which has been on twice in the past 12 hours already.

Rewatched Wilson today. The kid may turn out ok if he is allowed to develop. He made some unteachable throws look easy. The kind of throws that can hurt a defense. 

 

Yeah I was impressed with Wilson. He can make top level NFL throws. I know Chris Simms has been bullish on him and compares his talent to Mahomes and Allen and Rodgers. I can definitely see the comparison. It's still just preseason, but compared to someone like Tua where I thought his production yesterday was more about facing a 2nd string preseason defense, I thought Wilson showed legitimate potential to make an impact this year. The Jets still don't worry me in 2020 but by 2022 they could be real competition if Wilson develops properly.

I'm hoping they screw him up because he looks like a handful if he figures it out. 

I like the Bills chances either way though

Lance is having a major problem with ball placement tonight. 2 throws high, 1 behind his intended receiver. All were technically catchable but he'll have to clean that up. I think the 49ers would still be smart to sit him for the year and let him work on his throwing mechanics.

Seems like all the AFC East QBs have played pretty well. Trubisky, Wilson, and Tua in particular IMO. It'll be interesting to see how the other AFC East QBs fare in the regular season but their fans must be pretty pleased with how they're looking so far.

Watched the SD/SF game on GamePass this morning.  Couldn’t decide if Dan Fouts’ announcing or the offensive performance of both teams was worst.  I’m not buying into all the buzz surrounding Lance for the 49ers.  Read progression was super slow, stared down receivers, and wind up and foot work seemed elongated, not compact.  The slant he threw for the TD was his best throw and if you watch, it was a single read, his back foot was planted forever, and he had a huge wind up to deliver an on-target ball.

 

 Chargers were all over the place.  I kept asking what their offensive identity was. They didn’t do much well.  My two cents.

You're talking about the TD to Benjamin at the end? That was an excellent rep. Stared down his WR on the left to try to open up the slant and then quickly flipped his eyes, hips, and got the throw out in a hurry and it was a perfect bullet pass. There's nothing to criticize there at all.

 

Having said that, he's had probably 5 or 6 potential turnovers in two games and that's obviously on pretty limited reps. On the flipside of that though, he's made a lot of nice plays, been killed by drops, and Shanahan hasn't really let him show off his dual-threat abilities yet. I'd be surprised if Jimmy isn't the opening day starter and he might start all year if things go well for them, but I do think there's a reasonable argument to be made that Lance raises your ceiling and Shanahan should maybe just roll with him.

You didn’t enjoy Fouts and his buddy comparing Easton stick to joe Montana? 🙄

I did not Yolo!  I’d almost rather listen to Maddy Glab and Cynthia Frelund have a discussion about feminine hygiene products.  Almost!

A general summation of the feelings on their forums:

 

Miami fans think Tua is better than Allen.

 

Jets fans think Wilson will be a top 10 QB this year. 

 

Pats fans believe Jones will be better than Brady when their careers are over. 

 

Pleased is an understatement.

For some reason being in Pennsylvania, 15 miles from the Delaware and Maryland borders, is getting me blacked out of the Giants game today. You know, the heart of Giants territory. 🤦‍♂️

Be happy you’re upwind of Jersey…

Miami fans are in for a rude awakening in the regular season when Tua has to throw outside the numbers past the line of scrimmage. Defenses are going to crowd the middle of the field and dare him to beat them outside.

Well the QB competition in NO is over. 

 

Saints gave a gadget player a $140,000,000 contract.

 

Lmao. 

 

A fully voidable $140M contract.  His contract for this year is around $12M, and it can all be voided after the year with no consequence.
