Doakes is R.Brown reincarnated...The #23 is throwing me off.
 
This may be a beer induced question.

Would there be a bigger discrepancy in home field advantage if these two mascots actual live animals faced each other?

In the ocean = Dolphins
In the forest = Bears
Have another Brother, we'll get back to you! :chuckle:
 
Sucks if that is what happened. And Why Preseason football is useless. The fact an entire season was played last year without a preseason and the product didn’t suffer should really tell the “old school” people it is UNNEEDED and more to lose than Gain playing these games

The product absolutely suffered. The first 3 to 5 weeks didn't look like professional football at all last year across the league.
 
Nawh based on the view...There's no CLEAR evidence he was down.
 
Fields might not ever be good. However, he has a strong toolset (arm strength, size, running ability) that you can be patient with for the upside. Similar to Allen.

You need a strong toolset to develop, otherwise what are you wasting your time developing? What's the upside?
My opinion on Fields upside is not the same as yours. Yeah, he's got tools, but I see upside in the guys who promise the ability to dissect a field and a defense, which is what a QB is gonna have to do to be successful in this league longterm.

It used to be conventional-wisdom that the QB's who were used to succeeding by making progressions and reading the field in college as pocket passers were more "pro-ready" than the others. In fact, since the NFL finally shed itself of the outdated notion that it was somehow unprofessional to make the game easier for your QB, the guy who has the easiest chance of early success is the one who can make something out of nothing, who can get cheap gains for little effort by scrambling for 7 yards when they couldn't read the defense, and who are adept at executing some nice plays on one read or limited progressions. It doesn't change that the guy you need long term to advance past a .500 level, wild-card round performance is a QB can stand in the pocket, read the defense, and exploit it week in and week out.
 
Cam Newton - 12 carries, 75 yards, 2 TDs
Kyler Murray - 11 carries, 106 yards, 1 TD
Cam Newtown - 9 carries, 38 yards
QB runs is going to almost always fall to LBs for stopping, and Van Noy was god awful stopping quick QBs. I was one of the few who was happy when he departed.

Josh Allen always gives us running fits too. You'd think we would figure it out after we get swacked twice a season.

There was absolutely excellent football the first 3 to 5 weeks of last year. What were you watching? Can you provide examples?

The problems with no preseason last year had nothing to do with quality of play. We saw more non-contact injuries from starters in the first few weeks who were just ramping up the first time without much of a gradual increase. And late round picks and UDFA's who could have emerged by providing some game film for the entire league to view just didn't get the chance, so we lost a lot from last year's draft class.

The games were awesome.
