Preseason schedule released

Wow, we're playing 2 teams we'll be playing this season, in preseason.

Miami and NYG

Yeah I was thinking WTF on that one myself. I actually have never seen that happen before with them...two games same as regular season? Since teams arrange these themselves I think, I can't believe they wouldn't change at least one of those to a different team if possible.

And it sux that this is the first time in years I probably won't be able to see them in person in the preseason. :(

Come to PA for the Gmen game...I am only an hour away from the Meadowlands...you'd have a place to crash!!

i can't wait till we cut out 2 of the preseason games for 2 real games.

preseason games = meaningless game (except for a few fringe players) = more chances for premiere players to get hurt unnecessarily.

high risk.....NO reward

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
