As for this preseason game telling us how NFL season will go....WRONG....Go back to preseason week 3 of 2016. You will find no inside info on how that season went.....What this game is, the starters get stretched out and play the first half. They need stretched out to be up to going full game in 2 weeks. Starters get stretched out first half and then in last preseason game a few days later they won't play at all because team will already be in BALTIMORE game mode. I know, ESPN and NFL Network are making a big deal over preseason. Not unlike 24 hour political news shows. When you are on air 24 hours a day, you have to fill air time. So they make more out of preseason than it really is. These are no more important than preseason baseball or preseason basketball games. The starters will get stretched out the first half and that is where we hope for NO MAJOR INJURIES. The second half the subs come in and team will look at bubble players because cuts are quickly coming. Some of these on the bubble players are running out of time. The team has no choice, cuts have to be made. This team has pick their team and put the focus on BALTIMORE RAVENS game.
I'll watch the game Sunday, but it is just stretching out the starters and in vanilla packages and hoping for no injuries. Just trying to get the players ready for the long regular season and hopefully post season. Preseason week 3 is not life and death as ESPN and NFL Network make them out to be. I heard NFL Network saying because of preseason week 3 Jacksonville's 2 QB's are not the future, and that is insane to say over preseason game 3. Wel Ferrell in Anchorman 2 is great about 24 hour a day news stations. 24 hour a day sports news stations are even worse because there isn't 24 hours of sports news, there just isn't. So like the Wil Ferrell movie they fill the time with a lot on nonsense, such as beating every preseason game to death like it's The Super Bowl.
