YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

Feel like Addison made one catch and KoC was like "OK that's enough of you" (as in: "maybe im showing too much in pre-season" ).

The ball did come loose. Even if it is a play that happens this year it would still not be a TD. Look at Jamarr Chase's incomplete TD catch against buffalo in the playoffs. That one didnt even touch the ground.

I'll make allowances for Bears fans, but if you're a neutral observer and you don't think that's a catch you are a certified grade-A herb who should be stuffed into the nearest locker

As a neutral observer it looks like he loses control of the ball and just slams it to the ground while shifting it to the other side

Sir, I'm going to need to see your ticket.
There's a fun alt history where if the Lions win that game and nothing else changes, the Packers take the Bears #2 seed in the playoffs, the Bears make the run as the #6 seed and win the Super Bowl.

Okay, pretty happy with how Love looked!

- As far I could tell, all of the reads were decent-to-good.
- Wasn't afraid to take deep shots.
- Wasn't fixated on a single receiver.
- 70% completion rate, with the three incompletions being a batted pass, a deflection from a safety, and an overthrow. The last one was definitely Love's fault, but the first two were good plays by defenders (although possibly also avoidable).
- Nice throw on the touchdown.

It's a small sample size, it's the preseason, and he faced very little pressure (which has been a major problem for him in the past). So, major caveats abound! Still, I feared total disaster so I'll take it.

Side note, obviously Watson had a red-hot second half of the season and Doubs was decent as a rookie too. If Reed and one of the new tight ends pan out too, we could have a pretty deep receiving corps in a couple of years. We'll see!

edit: I think Toure is a preseason guy and not going to pan out, but hey, shout-out to Wicks too for a couple of big plays. Also Clifford for not being the complete clusterfuck I expected, hilarious pick-six aside.

Toure had a few nice plays in the regular season last year too so who knows. Seems like they got a nice collection of deep guys so at least I’d Love is garbage, they should at least be able to run and just say gently caress it and do PA bombs.

I think the Calvin Johnson catch took 8 years to be overturned and ruled a catch. The play ended when his second foot hit the ground.

Always nice when the camp guy like Valentine doesn’t disappear in preseason games. The only thing I don’t like about him is he often plays with Balentine and it’s god drat confusing.

Conversely, Sean Rhyan was a training camp superstar and has looked kind of terrible tonight.

Right?! Although I think Rhyan is less camp superstar and more got some “hype” because he wasn’t complete garbage against camp fodder in 1 on 1s.

If he was on the bubble before, I think tonight's game secured him a spot on the 53. (Barring, obviously, him stinking it up the next 3 weeks.) No way the Packers can sneak him onto the practice squad without another team snapping him up.

Probably speaks more to the quality of the giants backups, but the whole line was collapsing them in the second half.
