Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Final pre-season game rant

As expected, in most of the final preseason games that were played last night, very few starters saw any significant time. I realize that the coaches are trying to avoid injury and rest up their players for the first game of the regular season... but doesn't the NFL feel obligated to put out a quality product when they're still charging the fans full price for a ticket?

This is telling me that the pre-season is one game too long and that the final game isn't being used by the teams for it's intended purpose, to actually prepare the teams for the regular season. The coaches consider it a nuisance and it should be done away with.

Now don't get me started on the final game of the regular season...
