C.Biscuit97 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Excellent! The practice games don't matter, and now the we find out practices themselves don't matter. Why bother having a training camp? Installation, knock the rust off, and evaluate players. No team's ever won a Super Bowl in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Installation, knock the rust off, and evaluate players. Interesting concept. Kind of hard to do that when players (and coaches) are possibly "phoning it in". No team's ever won a Super Bowl in August. You would be correct. But I would argue the foundation for that SB win was set in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Incorrect. From the 2009 NFL media policy (courtesy of PFWA): Add: for those of you who remember me laughing at Mike Mularkey back in the day for leaving the depth chart completely blank at QB the week he benched Losman for Holcomb, here's another interesting tidbit from said media policy.... Like I said, I thought. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 http://www.nfl.com/standings?category=leag...p;split=Overall Good. glad to know that once the regular season starts, the Bills will be able to march down the field and score TDs at will.

reddogblitz Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 When the crowd at an away game is howling its' collective lungs out, it's difficult for the center (or whatever lineman) to set initial line assignments and for the qb to call the planned play over the cacophony. Errors occur. This is one thing I've been wondering about the no huddle. How in the heck is anyone going to be able to hear the QB calling plays at the LOS with guys spread all over the field? I'm sure Giants stadium will be loud as hell when we play the Jets there. Plus if the fans know they can disrupt you even more by booing while trying to call plays at the line. Not sure how that's gonna work. In Seattle you couldn't hear nothin' the QB was yelling. Ask Eli Manning. I'm sure Dick's got it under control though.

BuffaloBill Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 did they wrap their cans of soda in tin foil? Why did our mothers believe this would keep the pop (not soda) cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Installation, knock the rust off, and evaluate players. No team's ever won a Super Bowl in August. Yes, and no Dick Jauron coached team has ever won a playoff game regardless of the pre-season record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
