re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

I'm hoping one of you guys or gals can help me out.....

I think I missed all the hype in the preseason magazines covering the Patriots being the "itshay" this yr, but it seems that after their game Thursday night both the NFL network and NFL.com are talking about the Pats, showing a repeat of their game, or creating another article. Today it's about Welker's worth. Who gives a rats ass? I'm sorry for ranting but their game was Thursday, I can see talking about them Fri. and move on. Why a story about them each and every day?

I guess I missed the memo saying they are going back to the SB.

Well, that is what they are predicting, unless the Ravens knock them off. The Ravens are the preseason favorites, but the Pats are in the SB mix. Remember the NFL and the media make money off of any and all hype generated.

I've seen more talk about the Pats then I have the Saints, Colts, Chargers, ... heck even Houston.

I guess I should be glad the Skins are off the media wire, but I mean heck you have AH liking the defense, Mike Shanahan and his first preseason game, Kyle Shanahan's debut as OC, Haslett's defense, Trent Williams first game, and probably many other stories. Instead they chose to follow the Pats who struggled last yr.

I guess I'm tired of hearing about the same lame teams, you know... Dallas, Pats, Colts, and Cinci.

Let them have the attention. Under the radar is the place to be.

Think getting rid of Marshall is really going to open up the Broncos passing game...but it also gets rid of their biggest safety net. I think that will help Kyle Orton, personally.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Brandon Lloyd doing a poor job coming back to an underthrown deep ba-- who am I kidding?

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Carson is throwing the ball better today than I've seen in a long time. Since either the beginning of 2008 or back in 2007.

Champ has been even better in this quarter though.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Orton throwing [I]very[/I] well, but he tends to perform like this every August. Orton's passes begin to hang as weather becomes a factor.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Well, Quinn couldn't hit the ocean with a football. Looked like a 52% passer out there.

And Brandon Lloyd scored.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Folks can now begin the "Tebow is clutch" hype. Scored a TD by running it in on the last play of the game. Apparently nicked up a DB as well.
:laughing-
Still, congrats to him.

I wonder how he would have done if those practice squad O-lineman had given him any time to throw. He got decked in the pocket several times, but made a few nice throws off of scrambles. He looked a helluva lot better than Brady Quinn.

Another sign the he should play as a RB instead of QB.

Yes he did and that reciever should have caught that deep pass along the sideline on 3rd and long on his first series. Would have been 6.

So glad this was started and I found it.

My feelings are that from a scheme (both O and D) the games are pretty vanilla plus its hard to get a handle on your team's true worth. From a players stand point a true pro should put out anytime he steps on the field of play. As Chucky would say " Your Bonus check won't save you now!"

On the Dolphins sites the Weather was the excuse for Henne's, Marshall's, and others less than stellar play yet the Buc's QB had no such problem getting a TD on his first drive with WR's no where near Marshall's rep or stat line and he was playing on the same field in the same rain and mud against a Defense that some would say is a top 5 or at least in the top 10.

I'm of the opinion you gotta show me and the Redskins players showed me alot more than the Dolphins at this point in time.

Maybe things will be different once the schemes are in place but after preseason game 1 the Redskins QB's (1 & 2) are head and shoulders above any Dolphins QB imho. As a Finfan I sure hope thats not how we look against the Bills in game 1 but by the same token the Skins look ready to bite the bullet and give the Boys a run for all the marbles!!:woot:

Got to agree, I think Tim is going to be a very good QB, given that he will be slowly brought up to speed and not be allowed to be killed by a bad O- line. Sad to say Sam Bradford won't be given the same chance and that really is to bad imho.
