Oh yeah.  Man, the Times they are a-becoming quite different.

Honestly it should be 2 games max. Especially with them playing 17 now.

Gotta give the fringe guys a shot, I guess.  2 seems a bit slight. 

Youd think preseason would be more popular since many fans are dying to see backup QBs by week 4.

You have to have pre-season to fill out the back of the roster. I could see the Union negotiating starters do not play in Pre-Season games however.

Personally, I would rather see a second bye week added than a second preseason game cut.

Same here, Joe needs at least a couple of series in preseason IMO.

Not as good as he would of been.

Feeling the same, don't like that MB post there.

put him in to play the preseason, if he's gonna get hurt, he will.

I'd "protect" him if we've had winning seasons with him, get'em in there!!!!

I know sarcasm when I see it typed.

Only saying a series or two. Seriously everybody is a bit too worried around here about Joe getting hurt on any snap.

Yeah, could happen at anytime but he needs SOME chemistry playing football before the season starts.

I think we should play it safe and bench Burrow until the playoffs.

Put him in to kneel to run down the clock in victory formation.
