Your “Come One, Come All! (Not You, Starters)” Thursday Night Preseason Open Thread

This is usually the time when some sort of ‘dress rehearsal’ for the regular season takes place with all the stars muddying their unis for the first time. But lo! Some teams have re-thunk this thinking and many of the precious ones will not “have at it”, which kinda makes sense to me. I read somewhere that Coach Nagy ran all his starters against one another in a game simulation and implemented all the new plays that he wouldn’t otherwise reveal (in order to judge their effectiveness) until the regular season began. He then plays the seconds and thirds in the ‘real’ exhibition games so that he has a longer look at the depth at each position. Seems like a smart thing to do…

Updates:

-Zeke has reportedly wandered back Mexico way, making him cerveza non grata  in Cowboyland.

-Pats lb Patty Chung got caught with the coke so he’s gone for awhile. Given the recent news regarding Josh Gordon, the Pats understanding of FIFO inventory management is seriously flawed.

TO THE GAMES!

Jizziants/Cincy:

The Bengali’s have only 6 player rejects from their buddies in New York. They consist of 2 castaway O-lineman, 2 cb’s that couldn’t cut it, a D-line depth fella and something called “Hunter Sharpe”. Good Luvin’! Player to watch for the Jizzers is 5th round pick rook lb Ryan Connelly. Described recently as “smart and tough”, which is code for  ‘pallid dude from Wisconsin’, he’s actually a bit of a speedster. Think deep-discount Luke Kuechly

Bal/Phi:

Reports out of Ravens camp declare that te Mark Andrews will end up being the most likely target to have the ball sail over his head in the red zone this season.

Car/Pats:

Pants wr Curtis Samuel is among the league leaders in ‘yards cushioned by cb’s at 6.7. Stick that up your WAR!

Wash/ATL:

Prediction: Brian Hill will supplant Ito Smith as the #2 rb. Draft accordingly.

Jax/Mia:

Jags fans are dreading the day when their rb Fournette will be forced to miss a game because he had a nightmare that ‘really stuck with me’.

GB/Raiders:

You guys don’t seriously think that Antonio is going to replicate his previous success with Derek Carr behind center, right? The latter’s inadequacy was one of the reasons that Amari Cooper was chased out of town just…last…year.

Whoa! These hot takes really take the wind out of me. Do you have one? Share below.

this is almost as big a lie as one more line!

/although eventually everyone hits their daily ATM limit

Spur

i only need one line to fuck and one line to feel

Brick Meathook

I’m watching a pre-season Raiders game on a 80-yard field in an empty stadium in Canada with a lesbian announcer.

It’s like watching the WNBA.

King Hippo

Thanks for fucking up, Dirt Donks. It’s FOAR teh GREATER GOOD

What the hell is going on in Winnipeg? That’s a pro field, how on earth is that field in such bad shape that they’re playing 80 yards? Anyone got a reason to what went down there?

Also, lol at the NFL thinking a small market like Winnipeg could handle those ticket prices.

Spur

What the hell is going on in Winnipeg? – They’re putting their milk in bags?

Mr. Ayo

The goal posts had to be moved back and the patches were inadeqUate.

I think the NFL should be like European footy, in that some weeks everyone will play on Tuesday or Wednesday as well.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

No.

King Hippo

also, 38-match regular season?

Wakezilla

38 game season would be amazing for the NFL because it would reduce the time players would get in trouble.

I mean, the Union should PAY BACK some revenues out of gratitude ,, amirite?

The Yankees have the best or second-best record in baseball and there is no chance that they will get to, let alone win, the World Series.

blaxabbath

I was clarifying my question.

What’s the crime? A Moose response that now makes no sense — this is not a new thing.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I was giving you a hard time and it was an excellent typo and now you are being a dick about it.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Also cocaine is fun as hell, a short lived high, addictive, and obviously physically and mentally damaging. What is not to love.

King Hippo

Doing cocaine – it’s as good as I have ever felt about myself. I was like I could sit down and write an entire novel right now.

But then it wears off. Hoooollllllyyyy shit

“That was a deep five hour conversation about nothing and it only cost us $800!”

I did too much coke to get hard anyway.

King Hippo

anyone ever figure out how many dicks she would have to suck per day to keep a nice couple comfortably supplied with booger sugar? 11-12?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The strategy is sucking the RIGHT dick.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Looking at that, if he had a left dick too, you’d be on to something.

(channels Hippo)

So the opening line of tonght’s Ravens @ Iggles game was Iggles -2. By game time, the line had shifted to Ravens -5. That’s a big move. At halftime, the Ravens are up 26-0. So the gamblors of the world are making good scratch on a preseason game.

I like pills.

What happened?

shouldn’t “Final Fantasy” be all about whatever Michael Hutchence last was jerking it to?

Look, can we just throw Kaepernick in McCown’s jersey and give him the money instead? I’m pretty sure even McCown would be okay with it.

Fuck those guys. They cost us a 6 team parlay in Vegas two year ago.

You gotta love the Bengals radio guys getting used to broadcasting Bengals plays.

“Finley drops back, throw to Erickson, caught? No, dropped. He dropped it. Its fourth–he caught it? First down!”

Beerguyrob

So, in Winnipeg,

– they are playing on an 80-yard field because they can’t move the CFL goalposts
– the “Canadian” broadcast is the Raiders broadcast, so Matt Millen & Rich Gannon
– so few tickets have been sold they aren’t showing the crowd & instead just using tight shots of the field.

Mark Davis = genius!

Football hotbed Winnipeg is probably just so oversaturated with American football that no one was left to go to the game.

This is an first-ballot Hall of Fame comment. I laughed for a solid ten minutes when I saw this.

Wish I could take credit, but that’s a verbatim quote from whoever the fuck “Nate” is

WCS

This may be my favorite since the Cowboys one four or five years ago that said THE OL’ DOUBLE J will have JerryWorld flooded with sand the game after he dies to take the crowd into the afterlife with him.

Gratliff

Should have occurred to me that the Vikings fan would relish the chance to go in on the Bears. Eagles tomorrow. Expecting that to be very good, as well.

...

I found it underwhelming, much like the primary commenter on Deadspin who seems to think he represents Chicago area fans despite being incredibly uninteresting.

Gratliff

It is the defining trait of every Bears fan I’ve met

Col. Duke LaCross

Yeah, that dude was unbearable on there today.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I had to put on a suit and tie today. Last time I wore it was in December when it was about 25 degrees out….no problem. Today, the heat index was 102. Both myself and the suit now need to be drycleaned because we both smell like Miss Mama June after hot yoga.

Try wearing a wool Marching Band Uniform made for Ohio autumns in Orlando, FL in May during a heat wave. I could literally hear my fat ass boil.

What did it sound like?

Wait, wait…..forget I asked that. I don’t wanna know.

There are few things I have more faith in than the fact that Philly’s front four is just gonna devour QBs. THey’re gonna give up 5 billion go routes, but everything that takes more than 2 seconds is gonna end with an angry white dude having a tantrum while he gets up.

I like how the offensive lineman ran right past him.

Gratliff

I think he was moving up to block, counting on the runner to outrun Brandon Graham, which is just a terrible assumption

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Information out of Winnipeg is the there are “field condition issues” which may result in both teams holding out their starters.

How do you think I feel? My teams making the Giants look good.

Winnipeg Fever- CATCH IT!

Then get it treated via the reasonable universal healthcare system

YOU ANTI-SEMITIC, UNLOYAL, NON-LOYAL, STUPID SOCIALIST!!!!

Sorry. I was in the waiting room at the doctors, and they had on Fox News on. I think the subliminal messages got to me. Rest assured, I have beer and I am working on deprogramming.

Unsurprised

All the money that quack has screwed you and your insurer/employer’s insurer out of over the years has gone to buy a pallet of Iraqi dinars worth less than the paper they’re printed on.

Redshirt

Time to watch a team helmed by a quarterback who only has a job because the organization loves the guy even though he is an averagely average QB who is perpetually slammed onto the glass ceiling like a Garfield doll on a car window and the fans are sick of him.

Also, I get to see how Eli and the Giants are doing.
