Bortles is going to start against actual NFL players at some point; his competition is like Chad Henne and Future Face of the Big Ten Network Ricky Stanzi. That will be way funnier.

Edit. You deleted your post so I'll delete mine. But writing me off as "lol he bad poster" seems a tad childish and we can always just take this to PMs instead.

I want to watch Luck throw cool rear end passes to Reggie Wayne. I want to watch him scramble and everyone be surprised and go: "wow he runs pretty well." I do not want to watch someone named Chandler Harnish get sacked and throw lovely passes to Josh Lenz

Jordan Lynch: Running Back is brought to you by the NFL preseason e: NFL preseason is also basically the only time I get to see Northwestern guys in the pros. PREPARE TO BE COLTERED, SOME AS YET UN-CUT FREE AGENT IN THE LAST MINUTE OF A MEANINGLESS FOOTBALL GAME

I like the preseason as a college football nerd because it's full of "hey, it's that guy!" moments. This is also why I'll watch five minutes of a CFL or Arena game.

The teams don't even care about winning the game (except the Jets) and play super vanilla to avoid giving up regular season game plans. Preseason can gently caress off. I watch maybe the first ten minutes just for the 'football is on' factor then find something else to watch

I wonder how many of the people who like pre-season have Game Center/Rewind and don't have to put up with ads?

Preseason football is a good reminder for family members that Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays are about to become no fly zones once again. It's an annual right of passage.

Third week of preseason is pretty entertaining because the poo poo teams really suck and then they suck in the regular season Matt Flynn played the first half and was 3/6 for 19 yards and 2 interceptions Eli Manning played the first half and was 8/20 for 83 yards (4 YPA) Christian Ponder had a 5.0 YPA Josh Freeman was 6/16 for 59 yards (3.7 YPA) and he played three quarters It's like Summer League in the NBA, if you're good in NFL preseason it doesn't mean much, if you suck, UH OH The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Aug 1, 2014 |

Preseason football is the methadone that you get 48 hours after your last fix. Its doesn't do much, just enough to take the edge off and get you til you can get the good poo poo, or quit completely which lets face is never going to happen. edit: The only thing preseason football can tell you is if your team is going to be bad. It won't tell you if they are going to be good.

It helps to be really drunk at a preseason game. I keep forgetting the Browns kicked Bernie out of the booth and replaced him with Solomon loving Wilcots. (a man so bad I can vividly recall starting our family tradition of muting CBS and all games for the "CLEVELAND BROWNS RADIO NETWORK"). gently caress that noise.

They didn't want to unionize and get paid because they said it might hurt their chances of winning a National Championship e: found the quote, it was actually the Big Ten Championship, but the quote is literally “What’s important for this team is being able to win a Big Ten championship, and I think a union might hurt us in that goal."

Sadly this isn't even true. I've watched teams go 4-0 and look great in preseason, only to find out that was their ceiling and they subsequently win 4-5 games the rest of the year. The preseason is loving awesome though and I'm legit excited it's finally here.

Okay I knew I wasn't crazy when I thought "wait a minute that could certainly be reduced", so there is a chance Gordon's suspension gets reduced:quote:A source with knowledge of the situation tells Profootballtalk.com there's a "slight chance" Josh Gordon could reach a settlement with the NFL where his one-year suspension is reduced.

I love preseason because I spend the off-season obsessed with the bottom of the roster. I took my sister to a preseason game last year & she fell asleep though... I understand the second more than the first.

Preseason will be fun because Manziel will probably be the backup for the first 2 games and destroy a bunch of scrubs.

He was atrocious in New England, couldn't run with anyone, got lost in coverage all the time and couldn't tackle anyone 1-on-1. And I imagine that would be closer to what you'd expect if you're KC.

If you don't like watching some running back with half an ounce of talent carving up 3rd stringers while the starters crack jokes on the sidelines you're not a true football field. Also last year had some cool moments. Luke Keuchely going full video game mode against the Ravens was cool as poo poo to see.
