Game Day Thread Official Preseason Game Day Thread- Pats @ Eagles

[Pats1971]

True but to be that dominant,
* 6 scores in 8 drives ( should have been 7 if not for missed FG)
* over 4 pts per possession which is outstanding
* Only one punt all night
* 5/9 on third down
* They left 6 points out there ( missed FG, missed XP)
* More than half of the damage was done by a rookie QB who they had running shotgun, under center, 5 wide, and other formations......and one who looking very comfortable identifying the defense and adapting to it...
It shows a team that can run a ball control ( critics call it dink and dunk) offense up and down the field.
It requires a healthy gain on first down often converting on second down so you aren't in third and long (thanks Captain Obvious).
It was fun to watch especially when balls weren't being thrown into the ground 5 yards in front of the receivers.....

On the flip side, it was against second stringers and the Eagles are going to be lucky to be a 5 win team this year, even in that division.....

They were not second stringers, they were insurance salesman. Eagles didnt play anyone. I mean you have to go against who you go against, but Teams all do preseason different, and it really tells you nothing about an offense until gameplans, and real bullets start flying. Hell since they had a joint practice the coaches probably even had a deal to not try and kill the other team. 3 years ago the giants QB was the next montana in preseason, had the highest QB rating even over starters....now they want him replaced. People tend to put stock in Preseason when they get the outcome they want.

Other than half their defensive starters, sure.

Maybe I'm a softie, but calling players (or coaches) "garbage" because they don't play/coach sports to your liking isn't my speed.

A garbage assessment from a poster who makes blind squirrels look correct more often than he is.

I kinda feel bad for him, money or not. Just want him to play well enough here to a challenge/sharpen Mac and b have the work product available to go maybe start/mentor somewhere else (Detroit? Iono.) and that way we GET SOMETHING from it too.....
