Arena The Official NFL Discussion Thread (Now Featuring Time's Person of the Year, Taylor Swift!)

Exactly, preseason is about seeing the young cats play, and seeing who is progressing and who is not. The score doesn't mean a thing, although you do want to see your depth chart compete.

It's not about wins and losses, the only game most coaches even game plan for is the third. That one is the dress rehearsal for the regular season and is approached most like a real game by most teams.

 

He wasn't making the team anyway or at least not starting. I'm kind of shocked to see the Steelers so high up on the list for Vegas odds. I don't have high hopes this year.

 

That could be the end of the road for Plax

 

Perhaps if I ever have the chance to be a fan of a team, then I'll soften up on the preseason.

 

i still think that the preseason is a must have, it's too hard to evaluate people outside of an actual game situation.

 

Plus for some die - hard football fans (like me), it's a tantalizing taste of actual football and a sign that we're nearly to a new season.

 

I lol'd

 

Saints win, 17-13. There was a lot of sloppy stuff (re: defense needs a bit of work), but the two back-up QBs were quite good. Slow start out of the gate with Sean Payton back.

 

Preseason. That is all.

 

Geno Smith ended up with an ankle injury in the Jets preseason game.

 

Giants need to work on run defense.

 

HARD KNOCKS IS HERE!

I cried watching Larry Black's reaction to his injury. Seeing your dreams flash before your eyes like that...wow.

Other notes:
Gresham vs. Geno!
Gio is making me love him
Taylor Mays is cracking me up
James Harrison looks like he's going to murder someone at any moment

 

Tom Coughlin gives the Giants the night off, takes them out for a Bowling Night

Guise, Marc Trestman's face really creeps me out and they keep on showing it.

Arena football that is. What a cruel joke... give us real, actual (professional) football, preferably before I'm 90 or the next big quake/riot wipes us out. Goddamnit.

 

And what's wrong with USC or UCLA football? Oh, it's not enough that LA has two NBA and two MLB teams, and an NHL team too! And two major colleges! Waaaaah, we don't have an NFL team! Freaking spoiled is what you are.

 

We only have 1 baseball team.




Though I tend to despise almost anything related to college, college football is the collegiate sport I can tolerate the most, so I do watch some of that each late summer/fall. If I end up taking a rooting interest in either local team, I'd go with UCLA.
