Based off Pre-season Games Week 2

[DaveThePanther2008]

1. TB, Carolina and Seattle are the most anemic offenses in the league.

2. Buffalo, Miami, Tennessee and Denver are offensive Juggernauts.

3. Houston, NYJ and LV are highly competitive and will be in playoff contention.  

This is exactly why you should NOT be overly concerned that we didn't win our game last night.  Coaches are more about evaluating players than they are concerned about winning a meaningless game.

We knew it was going to happen last week. No matter how well Darnold did in his one series. Half the Huddle was going to pick one throw or missed throw and determine Darnold is garbage or HOFer.  Mostly the former. 

Just relax folks.  The line shuffling will start to slow down these next two weeks and for better or worse we will have our starting 5 on the O-line.  Brady will have his starting 5 on the O-line.  He'll also have a drool bucket to contain himself from all the weapons he has at his disposal.  

Rhule, Snow and Brady will actually sit down on 6 September and start building a game plan for the Jets.

Well we shouldn't be freaking out because we rarely see our starters anyway. We have zero idea what we have as a team yet.

Except for Slye. We just keep seeing how awful he is.

I would hope we're anemic. We haven't even been playing our first string.

The backups looked sloppy against the ravens. 
 

the bright spots have been the draft picks. I don’t know what the rest of the roster is doing during these glorified scrimmages lol

It's a bit disheartening that we aren't scoring on every drive but I think this preseason more than any other preseason is about evaluating the bottom half of our roster.   I thought our depth played well against Indy but not so much last night. 

I think the brightest part of preseason is that just about every draft pick has flashed some ability to play in this league.  That makes watching preseason bearable.

Everyone gets hyped for preseason and then about half a game into it gets annoyed and just wants real football back.

That's really why preseason football has always sucked. It's not the real thing.

True.

Where are you?  I am in Kuwait and it's morning here but you normally comment on my takes when I post.   Do you live outside the U.S. or work night?  

Or just have no life and stay on here all the time.  (JOKE)

I'm in NC at the moment. I am only awake because I woke up mid-hangover and it is making it hard to sleep.

I travel all over and can be in a lot of different time zones and working a variety of shifts. That is why I am sometimes on here at very odd hours.

You're right on this statement.  I would love to have seen a blowout last night but understand that preseason is a process of evaluation.  I'm not too worried at this time.  However......

Both weeks our third stringers have looked like G5 players running against P5 athletes.

Very few for either squad will be on the final 53.  A couple but not many.

Time to sign a kicker off the couch.

This is actually a huge reason to be concerned. Unlike in college, the kicking game is extremely important in the NFL and usually 5-6 games are decided by 3 pts or less.
