Teams that rested starters Week 2:

Panthers, Seahawks, Saints, Packers, Rams, Broncos, Lions, Colts, Raiders, 49ers, Vikings, Buccs, Titans, Cowboys, Chargers, Eagles, Browns, Bengals, Ravens, Cardinals, Jets = 21 teams

Teams that didn't rest starters Week 2:

Bears, Patriots, Texans, Bills (for one series), Commanders, Chiefs, Dolphins, Steelers, Jaguars, Giants, Falcons = 11 teams

"Most other teams" = 1/3 of the league?  This is what happens when you just mindlessly parrot the talking points you read on the Huddle.

McVay didn't play his starters in the 2nd pre-season game. What does that make him?

McVay hasn't played his starters at all this preseason nor does he ever play his starters in any preseason...including last year when they won the Super Bowl.  Even when they traded for a new quarterback in the offseason who presumably needed the extra reps to gel with his new receiving corps in a real game situation.  Sound familiar??

Sounds real familiar. I pretty sure it wasn't a big deal when McVay did it.

I'm not here bashing Rhule on everything he's ever done or crying because he isn't fired.

 

I wanted a chance to see our starters vs another team's starters.  I'm not getting that.  It's frustrating.    

 

 

I've got some great news for you. In two and a half weeks, you'll get an entire 60 minutes worth for almost 17 consecutive weeks!

I don't think he's a NFL HC, BUT with the NFL experience he gained he'd be a great coach for Michigan.

It would actually be a good swap. Harbaugh for Rhule. Harbaugh belongs back in the NFL. 

He may be a discipline freak but he's also a former long time NFL QB.

Don't you dare wish that on my Wolverines. Send him to Ohio State.

I am critical of Rhule. I don't think he has done everything right. Just because I am not critical of Rhule like you and others are doesn't mean I am not critical of him.

And why do you care if I poo posts lol? If I think someone's post is shitty then I am going to poo it lol

If that's the case I haven't seen it. But if you made it through nine seasons of relentless personal barbs directed at Ron Rivera it's interesting you can't handle two seasons of criticism for Rhule who has yet to identify "his" quarterback capable of leading this team to success.

Remember the absolute rage last year for us "babying" and "bubblewrapping" Sam?

I hope you don't slink away again to a new account if we struggle. You might as well take the good with the bad SBBlue.

Aww.  You have to share, what did SBBlue do to you?  Did he embarrass you?

You're like obsessed with him.  We're you two an item or something?

    • He has attempted 8 shootout goals in his NHL career and made 1. He is among our worst SO guys on the entire roster in terms of career stats.
    • Against Miami, the Panthers were behind by 17 in the 2nd quarter facing a 4th - 5. Young completed a 21 yard pass and they went on to score 7 on that drive. Then in the 4th, down by 4, they faced a 4th - 5 and again, he completed a 17 yard pass and they went onto score a TD for the win. He also accounted for 2 of the 3 TD's.  As I said, he got them in that mess and no doubt, Rico gets credit as well, but missing on either of those 4th down conversions hands the ball over and results in 1 or 2 less TD's giving them a loss. As you said though, that's just a small quibble. The real question is how does the FO see it?  I am guessing they see it as something to build on. I think most peope here see it as a total loss and fully expect the FO to see it that way as well. Time will tell.  
    • Kochetkov is just too streaky. TBD if Freddie is doing that too. Freddie is the more reliable goalie over his career. The Bussi kid looks like he could be a solid #2 eventually.  Just need to figure out the #1 guy. Same as almost every year. It's not talent, it's consistency and being able to step up in the playoffs.
