Go Pack Go !

[Joemailman]

Back when Gruden was one of us:

[mraynrand]

Ain't nobody else touching Gruden's play sheets.

[gbgary]

i miss sterling. he was great on that nflnetwork weekly show he was on.

[RashanGary]

Ugh, I’m ready for some damn football!

[jklowan]

Ugh, I’m ready for some damn football!

Did the game get cancelled, problems with the field

According to @JimOwczarski, who is at IG Field in Winnipeg, there were concerns about the patches in each end zone covering the spots where the CFL goal posts were. They have glued the patches to help them stay in place and it takes 30 minutes to dry, according to Jim. ....

Here's the thing: this #Packers preseason game has been scheduled in Canada for months. How are we just now wondering whether the patches of turf left behind after removing the CFL goal posts is worth investigating? That seems, I don't know, predictable?

"Commissioner is too busy making sure players aren’t smoking a legal plant he doesn’t care about player safety"

[The Shadow]

Jeezus, I hope Kizer doesn't win the backup job.

[pbmax]

I see Goodell has his A-Team doing advance work in Winnipeg.

Patches reinforced hour before kickoff then decision to shorten the field.

LaFleur not risking his starters in the 3rd preseason game.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[Fosco33]

Gosh. They’re sure to disappoint the hundreds of fans in attendance.

[pbmax]

Stuff like this happening is a reminder that the NFL is just like the USFL except for NFL Films, which was a non-League executive's idea. The League didn't want it.

[Radagast]

Is Rodgers back suddenly tight again?

[ThunderDan]

Alright, go Pack go. That was a horrible penalty on Oakland.

[pittstang5]

stupid question - I'm streaming the game, did they not show the opening kickoff or do they not do that anymore. So many damn rule changes, I can't keep up.

[ThunderDan]

Wtf, 80 yard field. No kick offs.

[ThunderDan]

stupid question - I'm streaming the game, did they not show the opening kickoff or do they not do that anymore. So many damn rule changes, I can't keep up.

No kickoffs.

[pbmax]

LaFleur benched starters prior to game John Kuhn, reporter, announced.

[red]

what a fucking joke

quit trying to force feed games to places that don't want it. the tiny stadium isn't even full

and whats with all the games being on fucking thursday nights?

[ThunderDan]

Not sure how extra points and field goals will work.

[pbmax]

I hope they show the six guys in section 126 doing the wave.

[ThunderDan]

what a fucking joke

Glad to see you Red!!!

[RashanGary]

weird game. We almost always get a lightning storm in preseason that messes shit up. This is a new one tho

[ThunderDan]

Good play by Lancaster.

[RashanGary]

Mont Adams is so stout this year. Damn he’s bettter!!

[ThunderDan]

Good 3 and out.

[ThunderDan]

Nice return by Davis.

[pittstang5]

show more of that Nicole Zaloumis

[RashanGary]

Nice return by Davis.

Yep. He’s quick. Bye Shep

[red]

Glad to see you Red!!!

yeah yeah

i just can't get excited about the game or team anymore

[SMBASS]

Goodell is a complete moron. This guy is doing everything he can to make me not care about the NFL anymore.

[pbmax]

Complaint the first:

Starting O line is not what the graphic said: Actual is Light-Madison(61)-Patrick(62)-McCray(64)-SomeoneNamedGregRoberts whoops, nope, Adam Pankey

not Light-Jenkins-McCray-Patrick-deBeers.

If I know anything about this game, Lucas Patrick will start and play well somewhere this year.

[red]

weird game. We almost always get a lightning storm in preseason that messes shit up. This is a new one tho

be interesting to see if the starters play at all next week in a game where starting usually don't play

i always bitched about fat mike hardly ever playing the starters in preseason, i'm not about to give the new kid a pass on it

[ThunderDan]

I saw Madison in on the first series,

[red]

jesus christ

[ThunderDan]

Not sure how extra points and field goals will work.

Glad to see Lofton finally caught on to this.

[pbmax]

Alex Light blew a cut off block that stopped a nice run to the right.

Personal hero Lucas Patrick drove his reach block past the hole. Good, but not ideal technique.

[ThunderDan]

Well he missed so it is hard to call hitting with the head.

[pbmax]

A screen pass that would have gone for 578 yards (Metric) if Boyle had been slightly more patient and let the RB clear a defender.

To be fair, might have been Boyle's last moment on earth too.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Her Majesty's Kingdom of Canada uses the metric system. That's why the field is 73 meters long.

Seriously, they're playing on a fucking carpet. Fuck NFL standards - play it like it's supposed to be, 120 yards!

[RashanGary]

Run defense stout. Jackson slow

[pittstang5]

I smell safety

[Rastak]

In late, still no live reps for Rodgers?

[ThunderDan]

Nice screen.

[esoxx]

Bring black a hundred yard field!!

[ThunderDan]

Well that was a shitty pass.

[Sparkey]

At least we now know both backup QBs are baaaaad!

[red]

what the hell was that, he quit on the route, while the ball was in the air and he was looking at it

[pittstang5]

WR stopped - dumbass

[Anti-Polar Bear]

In late, still no live reps for Rodgers?

Not since the Packers evolved vags during the late stages of McCarthy's regime.

Expect a slow start to the season for 13 and the O, again.

[esoxx]

what the hell was that, he quit on the route, while the ball was in the air and he was looking at it

Remember when Lazard was the flavor of the week last game and was going to make the final roster?

If that was A-Rod throwing to him there he would have had Gute cut the guy at halftime.

No chance he's making the team.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Bring black a hundred yard field!!

The Canucks aren't racist, so your joke is humorless there. They do hate frogs, though.

[pittstang5]

oh no.....Lancaster down

[pittstang5]

more missed tackles

[RashanGary]

These are the weirdest injuries I’ve ever seen

[ThunderDan]

What a fucking joke, no kickoffs.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

This game feels like a peewee matchup, mainly b/c the field ain't as long as football founder Amos America drew up.

[esoxx]

The Canucks aren't racist, so your joke is humorless there. They do hate frogs, though.

Bring black Dr. John Holmes, PhD!!

[ThunderDan]

Holding calls this year are going to kill me.

[pittstang5]

Holding calls this year are going to kill me.

Drive killer

[esoxx]

What a fucking joke, no kickoffs.

You do realize the NFL is looking to do away with the kickoff since it's the most dangerous play per their data base.

Consider this a preview of what is coming down the pike.

Hear me now and believe me later.

[RashanGary]

Literally nothing happened to Lancaster or Gary. Wtf

[SMBASS]

Trace McSorley was picked in the 6th Rd by the Ravens and he already looks 10x better than either Kizer of Boyle.

[ThunderDan]

Face mask.

[ThunderDan]

Run game looks serviceable tonight.

[ThunderDan]

That wasn’t interference by either player.

[RashanGary]

Adams MVS Allison EQ Davis (Kumerow?)

[Bretsky]

just in f'ckers; has Sherry Gary made the box score yet ????

RED....f'cker. Little Bretsky wants to play fantasy football. He's never played before and really doesn't understand the rules yet. But he knows 90% of the NBA players.

Can you email him an invite to a league you are in ? I want the poor kid to get at least one win.

Where's Wisty ? Burks sounds like he's back in a couple week

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Bring black Dr. John Holmes, PhD!!

MD, too.

[pbmax]

Gary with decent pursuit on first play. Gets cut with no trouble on second.

Fackrell gets off the TE nicely on first down, but tackle seals him on second play.

Raven Greene might be able to play.

Gary on third down had a nice pass rush move off power, dipped under the arm and had a path to the QB on a quick throw.

[Bretsky]

Well, at least Gary is making everybody around him better :)

[Radagast]

Any sacks yet?

How about real good pressure to the Raider QB?

[RashanGary]

Not impressive

[RashanGary]

Well, at least Gary is making everybody around him better :)

:lol:

[RashanGary]

Fucking Cole Madison. Kill yourself

[pbmax]

End around! I love this offense.

Run play. Patrick and McCray double the nose but neither gets off the block to seal a linebacker. Horseshit penalty for planting the ILB.

Shepard with nice catch on out route.

Weird Boyle hesitation on 3rd down.

[pittstang5]

third hold tonight....glad this isn't the starting lineup.

[ThunderDan]

Davis having a good game.

[ThunderDan]

Hands to the face on D.

[RashanGary]

If that was a penalty on Madison I might have killed him

[ThunderDan]

If Davis stays to the outside he scores a TD.

[ThunderDan]

Ed needs to catch that.

[ThunderDan]

EQ.

[RashanGary]

Madison lives another day

[RashanGary]

Pankey looked athletic when he was pulling earlier. Holy shit.

[RashanGary]

Light makes Spriggs look like a retard with his hand in his mouth fiddling his lips up and down. Bye Spriggs

[RashanGary]

Alex Light is our starting RT next year.

[ThunderDan]

Light makes Spriggs look like a retard with his hand in his mouth fiddling his lips up and down. Bye Spriggs

He was cut a few weeks ago.

[RashanGary]

Did you see Gary help Lancaster up. The strength. Beast. And how he injured himself. Nice

[pittstang5]

#21 - learn to tackle

[pbmax]

Weird 14 yard drop for Scott and it almost costs him a block.

Pass play, Gary runs around a cut block upfield. Takes self completely out of play, including the flat pass they would have thrown had the QB made the choice to look left. Flat route guy was in motion and the defender never got into position as he was behind linebackers. Nice play call.

Josh Jackson, same play, gets burnt by stop pattern as he stopped his backpedal too soon. Then Raven Greene continues a long Packer tradition of a personal foul for no reason.

Mt. Adams is right quick. KeKe, I think, all but buries a double. nice job run D.

Jackson never gets head around on deep sideline but does play the WR hand and gets an incomplete. Jackson looks rusty.

[RashanGary]

He was cut a few weeks ago.


I’m reveling in it

[pittstang5]

Concussion for Gary me thinks

[RashanGary]

Did you see Gary get up from that second injury. Nice.

[RashanGary]

Lofton is growing on me

[jklowan]

Gary looks the part injured 2x so far in this game should be on pup by the start of the season

[RashanGary]

Redmond gonna be a Packer

[RashanGary]

Gary looks the part injured 2x so far in this game should be on pup by the start of the season

Packer people

[RashanGary]

I hope Madison gets injured. I hate him

[RashanGary]

Lofton >>> Gannon

He’s funny. Knows football.

[jklowan]

I hope Madison gets injured. I hate him

That's cold - wishing an injury on a packer

[RashanGary]

That's cold - wishing an injury on a packer

I use hyperbole as a form of sarcasm and humor

[jklowan]

Raiders receivers dropping a lot of catchable balls

[pittstang5]

Every good fuckin run has been called back for holding

[Bretsky]

Did you see Gary get up from that second injury. Nice.


lol; he looks impressive after getting knocked around

[esoxx]

Personally, i'm getting used to the 10 yard line actually being the end zone. Just like i got used to all the other crap the NFL has provided us football fans. In Goodell's NFL, you need to continually reinvent the game until it's completely unrecognizable. You know, like the roughing the passer rules, the kickoff rules, the Calvin Johnson catch/not catch rule (that was changed several years later).

What's the difference if they say the 10 yard line is actually the end zone?

It's just a clown show now.

[jklowan]

Nice series from Boyle

[RashanGary]

Lofton is the MVP tonight. He’s a trash talker. Funny

[pittstang5]

St. Brown just got killed

[red]

he might have just broken both ankles and blew out a knee

[pittstang5]

decent 2 min offense

[RashanGary]

he might have just broken both ankles and blew out a knee

At least it’s not a Packer hammy.

[RashanGary]

Rodgers said it’s a deep WR group at the back end. Good thing.

[esoxx]

That's cold - wishing an injury on any player

FIFY

[RashanGary]

Adams
MVS
Allison
Davis

Kumerow/Lazard/Shep

Hmmmmm..... Lazard night have the most upside as a WR with the size/blocking ability. And looks quicker than Kumerow.

[pbmax]

Next big thing at tackle Light and Madison cannot decide who is blocking reduced DE so no one does, TFL.

95 and 73 both beat McCray and Hiro Patrick and knock down the pass. Think 73 got his hand on it first.

A beautiful screen pass and Patrick nearly plants 52 without a penalty! Cole Madison blocks air.

Whoever's child they hired to do the game play camera should be left in Canada.

Long pass to Davis but he just off the mark. Whoever that CB was has some speed. Ball a little under thrown but Davis doesn't jump. Play fake off end around worked on safety. Nice.

Madison barely hits another LB on Hiro Patrick pulling block play. wasn't going anywhere anyway. Alex Light knocked off his block by a McCray seal.

Lazard with weird stopped crossing route. Boyle throws anyway, near INT. Not the design I expect. If he kept running and Boyle threw on time, its going long.

[pbmax]

Pass pro OK with some Raiders starters on D.

[pbmax]

Krumerow is no Janis as gunner.

[ThunderDan]

Davis looked good as gunner the one time I saw him.

[Joemailman]

Had a fantasy draft tonight. Drafted Adams (#9), Jimmy Graham (#69), and Packefs defensem(#132).

[ThunderDan]

Had a fantasy draft tonight. Drafted Adams (#9), Jimmy Graham (#69), and Packefs defensem(#132).

Another season wasted. Lol!!!!!

1 out of 3 ain’t bad.

[Joemailman]

Gary looks the part injured 2x so far in this game should be on pup by the start of the season

Can't be on pup once you practice.

[RashanGary]

Oh shit, I feel like an ass hole 🤣

[RashanGary]

Had a fantasy draft tonight. Drafted Adams (#9), Jimmy Graham (#69), and Packefs defensem(#132).

I’m excited to see Graham this year!

[Joemailman]

Krumerow is no Janis as gunner.

Kumerow is no Janis as a smart receiver.

[ThunderDan]

Is Keke going to be a better player than Gary?

[RashanGary]

I don’t think we have 53 players I want on the team.

[RashanGary]

Is Keke going to be a better player than Gary?

He’s looked better in preseason so far. Putting on a shock shed and tackle clinic

[ThunderDan]

3 receivers in a stack. Yeah!!!!!!!!

[pbmax]

gary with decent power on bull rush and dip, but still not getting to QB on short throw. They chip Fackrell. Jackson with great bump and coverage on slant but nice throw and catch. He was there that iime.

40 filled nicely and beat the FB but couldn't get to next gap. DL and 44 got blocked and mixed up in trash respectively. Good run for them. Lancaster took a beating on a double team. Lost ground and became the trash.

Glennon pass nearly INT. Lancaster hurt ankle but i can't see how he did it. Maybe late hit and fall?

Bolton and Summers both fill nicely on inside run and whoever was NT that time really fought off a double to close the hole. I think it was Dean Simon (79).

I tell you what Gary can do. Loop around on a T-E stunt and get to the middle in a hurry. He's going to hurt someone on that this year.

More fantastic tackling on 3rd down.

Gary and ILBs stunt, leaving Gary in middle zone. Ball bounce around, near INT. Like that call. Designed to defeat a crossing route. LOVE THAT CALL!

What happened to Gary?

Oh HO! Bolton got stoned by the FB but didn't give up or go down. Had to hurt though. Adams held up to double but did not get off to make tackle. Did shed it just a tad late.

They scouted this offense. Mt Adams just dropped into the slant on a zone blitz. Nearly ws in the way on an incomplete.

[Bretsky]

I don’t think we have 53 players I want on the team.


Is Gary still one of them ?

[pbmax]

You do realize the NFL is looking to do away with the kickoff since it's the most dangerous play per their data base.

Consider this a preview of what is coming down the pike.

Hear me now and believe me later.

We are here to pump you up. To exactly 13 psi at sea level.

[RashanGary]

Is Gary still one of them ?

He looked alright in spurts. Imma wait for a few regular season games before I hang my head in shame

[mraynrand]

He looked alright in spurts.

Don’t tell APB

[RashanGary]

Bolton injured. Uh oh. Raven Greene gonna be playin some ILB.

[RashanGary]

Lazard makes team. Catches, blocks, coverage units, return units as blocker. Shep practice squad. Too small. Not fast enough to be that small. Doesn’t block. No st value if Davis is here. But if Davis goes down, bring him up. He’s a good returner.

[pbmax]

Davis with nice route and shoestring catch. Think he was OOB though. Hiro Patrick with line call to save pass pro with safety coming up. OK fine, Light gave them a heads up.

A depressing number of flat passes.

Nice audible to left side run that Rodgers would never let happen. He never lets the packers run. Never, never, ever. Cole Madison with the ubuiquitous holding call when the ump can see you hands outside and the blocker drives the hapless defender to the ground. Poor defender. Should be a paid a bonus.

32 with terrible read on inside handoff. McCray with great down block drives his guy into next hole and leave entire middle open. TE gets the backer. 32 runs into the Tackle for a loss on left side. Grade: poor pad level

Vet move by Light gets offside call on 3rd and a kilometer.

Pankey whiffs on pass block. Tonyan, if on field, will torch zone defenses in the middle.

Hiro Patrick got blasted by nice punch by 73, still drove him five yards downfield. Pro Bowler. I think it was a wide play but 32 cuts inside the tackle on penetration by DE over Pankey. That put Tonyan's guy bak in play and wasted a heroic effort by Hiro Patrick.

Boot with play action is not working because the DE is given way too much time to get to the QB. They need to fake a toss not a hand off. Or Raiders know its coming.

Davis with nice fight for ball and TD while being interfered with by 23

[pbmax]

Difference between Datone Jones, Mike Neal and Mt. Adams? When QB sneaks through middle to avoid pass rush, Adams can close it off. Gary back into game. Lancaster (also back) collapsed pocket, Gary with best outside rush of night was free on QB left and that was nicely done.

Maybe Pettine is running the pretend to be injured to get TO New England scheme?

No pass rush that time. Gary had inside counter that was a beat too late. Flag on what? JT O'Sullivan in coverage. Nice to see him still in the game.

I think you can do something with Sommer in coverage. Not lost. He and Bolton also willing to fill on run.

JT O'Sullivan victimized on slant. Fackrell might have had Gary's job in dropping to middle zone for slant protection (or he just stopped pass rushing) but either way he did not get there.

Brown in slot good.

Gary'e best play of preseason game was read option, stayed wide in gap, forced hand off inside, then made tackle inside. Clay could learn from that. Crawford with nice gap fill helped.

Fackrell with almost as nice a play as he stays inside but recovers to get the QB on the keep with some help.

crawford with the only anti-tackle I have ever seen. first down.

[esoxx]

Has Kevin Harlan been drinking? The timeout situation isn't as complicated as he makes it seem. He's the confused one.

[pbmax]

Light burned and Madison late to help on first down pass. Flag on Madison but he was in a panic because Light got torched inside by 53.

Best inside run of night as Hiro Patrick with nice reach block AND seal with knockdown, Madison cleans up LB and Light holds the De off and FB gets the backer. Nice play, just like its drawn up.

QB got around the DE on a boot that time and completes going left to Davis. Nice effort and throw.

Hiro Patrick gets double help and catches ILB on nice wide run from Williams 22. Light with good seal block, his best run block of night. Madison collects two guys and knocks them into each other. Nother nice run play to the left. Patrick did not get a clean hit on LB, but he and McCrsy tangled on wham block in middle.

Nice toss sweep. Hiro Patrick doesn't get a clean reach but stays on it ben with hand to face. Madison has nothing to do as 53 runs out of the play. Light doesn't just enough. Pankey sealed OK on backside and McCray got nice shot on LB.

next inside run Patrick got ILB but he maybe did not help McCray enough on wham block as his guy was in hole. Madison got beat off the snap and so there was no room for Williams to get to second level. Which is a shame because TE and Patrick got the LBs covered. Would have been good gain.

Basically a tunnel screen against an overloaded front. Worked beautifully with nice catch by Davis on slightly off throw. McCray, Madison, and Pankey all made it downfield to block without getting called for being downfield because of quick throw. Nice.

I like Williams more than Carson.

Pass pro holding up. ESB should have had that throw.

Unfrozen caveman WR Kumerow TD. Cole Madison little late seeing a stunt but sees it, gets there and gives Boyle enough time to find wide open BK Lounge.

Packers have some inside OL talent. Light and Pankey a little shaky but overall were average. Light started out slow but was better late.

[pbmax]

Gary, Adams and Fackrell almost all get there but its a short crosser that the DB Jamerson loses the tackle on.

I'd say Gary, Lancaster and Adams played that draw OK. looked like it was breaking open

Gary showing signs of life. Forces give to RB, chases him down inside. Crawford had him dead to rights and whiffed.

Concussion (butt)

[pbmax]

@JimOwczarski
Curtis Bolton just came out of the locker room on crutches and with a knee brace for the #Packers

@TomSilverstein
Cole Madison is hurt.

@TomSilverstein
St. Brown has a left leg injury. He isn't able to put weight on it.

@TomSilverstein
Rodgers said they'll work on some Bears things in practice next week and then have a regular week of practice after the Chiefs game. Pretty much confirms he won't play vs. KC as expected.

@TomSilverstein
Rodgers said on the TV broadcast that he isn't playing because of the field conditions.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I just started watching the CFL game. Holy sheiss. The third game is supposed to be real, this looks like Family Night at Lambeau.

[theeaterofshades]

Nah Family night was more realistic

[texaspackerbacker]

Well, I finally got to see the game - replay on NFL Network. A few thoughts:

It would sure seem like Boyle moved ahead of Kizer. The third string line that Kizer played with really stunk, though.

Trevor Davis was really something else, but Shepherd is a player also. I hope we can find a way to keep both. St. Brown didn't seem to do much but get hurt, but the Oakland commentators which I had to endure were bragging up the guy covering him - Nixon or whoever, so that might have had something to do with it. Has anybody heard today about his injury? Going on IR might just be a small blessing - for him not being cut, and for the team not losing him and keeping somebody who is doing better.

Tra Carson - who has hardly even been mentioned - seemed to outplay Dexter Williams, although Williams looked quicker.

There were by my count 6 O Linemen who didn't even play, at least I didn't see them - the starting 5 plus Jenkins. Of the rest, it was hard to tell. Somebody must have been doing the job in the first half, as Boyle didn't get rushed too badly, and there were a few holes for the RBs. I still haven't seen what the fuss is about for Light. Patrick made a few good plays and showed the ability to play Center. Pankey did some decent things playing Tackle in the first half, but if I saw it right, he played Guard and looked worse in the second half. Madison was rotten all the way, not just the penalties.

In the D Line, much as I'd like to think positive about M. Adams, he reminded me a lot of another guy with the same number - getting consistently pushed back and making his tackles 5-7 yards down field. Hell yeah, I mean Raji. Keke was ok - just ok. Looney looked good again - against the other team's scrubs again. Simon seemed more stout than M. Adams, but it was also against scrubs. I doubt he makes the team. Lancaster didn't look as bad as he did the first two games.

Anybody heard anything about Bolton's injury? He made a couple of plays early. Summers looked good most of the game. Sheldon - who looked like crap last week - seemed like he suddenly thought he had a chance to make the team, and looked good late in the game.

It didn't look like Gary's neck injury was too bad. I really didn't see any improvement in his game, though. Fackrell looked good. Did Reggie Gilbert even play? I didn't see him. I like the way #56 Ramsay plays; I hope they keep him on the practice squad at least.

Josh Jackson finally got to play and was decent. Hopefully against the slot receiver will make his lack of speed less of a problem. Just looking at the ESPN play by play, I thought Chandon Sullivan had a bad game, but when I actually saw it, he stood out as good in coverage - with one glaring exception - as well as doing good blitzing from the Corner spot. I'm not impressed with Redmond and Jamerson - missing tackles, etc. and even less with the guys farther down the list.

[red]

There were by my count 6 O Linemen who didn't even play, at least I didn't see them - the starting 5 plus Jenkins.

jenkins was listed as starting the game at one of the guard spots

but the way everything was fucked up last night, that could have been a typo. i didn't notice him, because i wasn't looking for him, but they did announce him as a starter

edit

high ankle sprain for st brown

probably means he'll miss at least half the year

[pbmax]

Jenkins was not in the game. Which would seem to indicate he is a lock. Packers have some lineman. Patrick, Madison and even Light looked OK at times. Patrick is a mauler who can get overwhelmed by physically dominant DL, but he doesn't give up. Exactly the backup I want.

Nice breakdown of observations from the game.

[Radagast]

With the Winnipeg "NFL Experience" behind us now, and the Packers returning to play it's last preseason game at home vs Kansas City, I hope that we will see some serious 1st team (offense/defense/STs) game time before the regular season opener at Chicago. Practice is one thing, but it is not a substitute real competition. KC should play their #1s for at least a qtr, I hope that GB does the same.

I don't think you'll see Mahomes or Rodgers in this game.

[mraynrand]

I disagree that the game was a disaster. Had it been a regular season game, then, yes.

I was at the HOF game when Favre and Greene were inducted. They cancelled that because the field was a mess. That was a disaster.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ECv3qY8XYAAziKK.jpg

"Large hole in Endzone" This is basically fake news.

I agree. It was fine. Pissed me off to see EQs injury, the way his cleats dug in and didn’t release. But that happens everywhere I guess.

The 80 yard field made it interesting for me tbh

I watched some Browns after and I was looking at the 10 yard line like it’s the goal.

I don't think you'll see Mahomes or Rodgers in this game.

Agree. It will be more of the same from PS game #3, except with a better field.

Most teams wouldn't dare risk putting a key starter or their franchise QB out there in a meaningless game just before the regular season starts. Game 4 is when all the scrubs are fighting to make a team or a name for themselves. It's all about getting good tape out there for the scouts and GMs.

Preseason is even more of a farce now than it was before. Can we go to 18 game schedule with two byes already? It’s inevitable.

Yep. Those two preseason games would be more important too. It’s a huge upgrade to the current setup.

Instead of shortening the field, they should just run the play clock or play a half.
