given the way we have looked, our starters could use a little more game reps but it would make sense not to play them this week

Seems like that was in the past when we had four games. Nowadays I just saw Aaron Rodgers is playing in this 3rd game to get ready for the season along with a bunch of other QBs.

Mmmm, the final preseason game ... the most mindnumbing thing one could possibly watch. Can't wait.

Yeah what used to be the case is no longer since they have moved to 3 games.

Honestly 3 games kinda sucks because they have all but removed the “dress rehearsal” games in favor of joint practice

Clearly you were not on the Zoom meeting I was on an hour ago!

My feeling about preseason games in general is pretty much along those lines.  Every now and then somebody who was on the bubble or worse does something that makes them a keeper, but otherwise, pretty dry stuff.  And the last one is usually the worst in that regard.

Reich said Bryce and starters will play similar amounts again against Detroit. Don't hate it. Few more drives of tune up.

It's definitely needed for us especially the offensive line working in a new piece. Bryce needs a little more time with his receivers and hopefully Miles plays just to give the O a sense of comfortability

Can we go ahead and overreact in this thread instead of waiting until the game?  Just trying to be more efficient.

I would be concerned about playing Miles unless he is definitely 100%.  Those injuries can linger...

If we go 0-3 in the preseason some Huddlers are going to explode...

Have at it! You have your work cut out for you however because there's been some doozies posted on here of late.
