Lmao. Was this the worst attempted joke of all time? Or is this a "diss" from someone my grandpa's age?

"You 25 year olds and your damn text lingo!!"

The only joke around here is you, as for my age if you clicked on my profile you would know it you are the asshat who freaks out over a preseason game.

Some takeaways from the first half: O line does not look in sync at all, which is disturbing due to how bad the eagles defense is. Getts has his work cut out for him. Hopefully it's something that can be corrected in the next 2 weeks but I have serious doubts.

Cam seems erratic. Threads a needle to Olsen but then sails some balls to smitty. How much of that is cam and how much is that on the o line, I dont know. Liked the grabs by Ginn; hopefully that won't be a fluke.

Deangelo has made some nice runs and held on to the ball.

Defense- gave no pressure but when you're playing against this type of offense that is predicated on three step drops, it's going to be hard to get pressure. The eagles offense is putting the onus on our secondary which has played, well, like ass. McCoy is pretty sick in general. His shake moves are ridiculous and has made a lot of our db's look foolish. LB's have made some good tackles.

Playcalling-seems very bad on the defensive side. Maybe that's just a result of our personnel. On offense, play calling I thought has been pretty decent but some blown assignments have marred that.

I'm trying to stay positive, which is difficult when we're getting outplayed in every facet of the game.

    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
