Canales - COULD ANY WEEK 1 RUST BE ATTRIBUTED TO NOT PLAYING STARTERS FOR MOST OF PRESEASON?

“It all matters. It all counts. And so that’s something that we gotta think about. But again, we had an opportunity today to play football. We played a lot of football, particularly on defense. We played a lot of football. So we’ll learn a lot from just being able to get this group together and work off each other.”

I said all along it would work out fine if your team comes out looking at least competent and competitive. Don't necessarily need a win just need to give hope. But the other side to the coin is a horrific blow out loss. Well....Dave has earned himself his first heaping portion of criticism.

I hope that’s parody, but it is scary that I can’t tell

Not parody.  And… I hate it!

Not playing the starters together in a game situation with so many new faces is stupidity

I mean yea we all know that. But hey guy is admitting he has more to learn. I have this feeling that Tepper is telling him not to play starters because it’s been a theme in the previous coaches like Rhule in particular.

He and Kamala should get together. “Today, we played football. And football is a game, ya know? HAHAHAHA. Anyway, they play this game, football, on a field, with a ball, and we did that today. We played. And we, you know, have cameras that record it. So, you know what cameras do? Okay, good. Yeah, we will use what cameras do, an we will, like, watch the recording, like this one time I was a kid”. 
 

this game was awful and I am in no way surprised.

Jesus. I hope this team becomes competitive someday just so I can stop hearing from you dolts about training camp and preseason reps. Guess what?! If your QB and roster sucks, you’re gonna suck. Bryce had a season and two offseasons worth of reps.

I will say we were not the only team that looked ineffective and out of it.

Honestly, as hard as it's going to be for the fans, we need to give Dave time to learn to be an NFL Head Coach.  That's just how I'm looking at things right now.

I hate sounding like the bitter old guy but  I remember when training camp was more like boot camp and not vacation Bible school.

2 a days, full pads full contact conditioning the bodies for the rigors of an NFL regular season.  Did injuries happen?  Sure and it sucked but guys were ready week 1.

The CBA and these soft ass poo boys have ruined a great sport.

100%. This and all the in-game rule changes in the name of "safety" but really just to increase offense to pander to the general public morons who want to see skills clinics more akin to flag football in 56-53 games rather than pure football. I'm nowhere near a boomer but I'm sounding like one and have no shame about it. Football has gone way downhill in the last decade+
