Timmy! posted:1st half observations:
Pass rush still ain't gettin' 'er done.
Still don't have LBs that can cover TEs or RBs out of the backfield.
All of our RBs look good.
Ditto for WR. Davis > Shepherd > St. Brown > Moore.
OL still inconsistent.
Fortunately, not one play from the guys that will play 90% of the snaps.
Now Madison down.
Wow, I think they are trying to get Kiser killed. That might solve who is the backup at QB.
I should have added that the "new" PI rules are as bogus as I expected them to be.
Sullivan (39) had an excellent point on the play where he almost had the INT. The Raiders WR 'became the defender'and committed obvious PI, and that indeed would have been a penalty called against the defensive player.
Need to get that fixed.

I think you hit on something here, the real benefit of NFL pre-season games: To weed out unlucky and injury-prone players!
I've been looking at this all wrong.
Exactly!!!

Yep. 39 got robbed. He's quite active.
So WR depth?
Adams, Allison, MVS, Kumero, Davis, Shepard... Lazard?

In fairness, he did have the option of throwing the ball.

Still have the rest of this game and next week to cull an injured one (or 2).
Some decisions just make themselves.
So relieved here I thought this was all pointless.
Hungry5 posted:So WR depth?

I have to agree... I don't think we can hide Shepard on the PS. Lazard did stop on Boyle and almost caused a pick, but he's flashed, maybe we can sneak him on the PS.
It's really been a good battle. I don't see any way we can cut Davis. Keeping 7 would be hard.

I do think that's now challengable, but maybe MLF decided not to bother.

He was a little rough in the 1st qtr I think?
Been solid as a rock since. That last defensive series was outstanding. He was the one that came flashing in on that 2nd down play and hit the RB before Keke did.
Then had the PD!

Buh Bye Kizer
Jackson looks lost, disappointed.
Davis made the team.
Totally and completely disagree on Jackson. He is making the 53. Davis was given his last shot tonight and he responded. Props for that. Still think Sheppard is a better roster selection if it comes down to it.
Kumerow is the 2nd best receiver on the roster. Period.

Apparently, you don’t like money? The NFL loves the stuff.
If the field is truly that bad, somebody in the NFL should be out of a job. There's no way something like that should ever happen.
Serious question though. This is a professional football field. If it were REALLY that bad, wouldn't the Winnipeg Bluebombers have an IR list a mile long?
I think the issue is with the goalposts. The Canadian field has different dimensions and moving the CFL posts created a hazard in the end zones.
@RashanAGary is fine and doing well. Thank you to everyone for their prayers and concern.

Whoever it is that loves the smurf WRs ( JohnnyZ? ) should be creaming his jeans over Shepherd.
They should just make Shepherd and Davis do nutcracker drills against each other nonstop until one goes down. There's your winner. Last one standing.
That or jousting.
Bolton is on crutches. Unless Burk's torn tendon does a Reggie White, the Packers are in serious need of an ILB.
Heard during the broadcast.
Kizer has had to learn 3 different offenses in 3 years.
So has Boyle.
Tim Boyle's numbers.
Tonight: 16-of-25 for 191 yards and two touchdowns/no interceptions.
Preseason: 31-of-57 for 338 yards and five touchdowns/no interceptions.
Kizer sealing his fate.
Scott NAILS a punt!

Yeah but did you see the crowd? Those Canadians are truly entertained.

Gutenfree should be on the waiver wire now. That sucks.
In college Boyle has had 4 OCs. And two more in the pros. And this is his 2nd year. He really hasn't the chance to be able to be in the same offense since HS - where he excelled.

You should see his college bio. It's like 7 systems / coaches between college and now.
He's been too inaccurate in the short range game, IMO. But everything else seems pretty good.
Pre-Season football is sooo bad. This product is just brutal. How can anyone actually pay money to go to these games??
Can Kizer sustain a time consuming drive now?
Gruden goes for 2...

And Gruden's dumb ass almost tied this, which would have probably sent it into OT
Thunderbird posted:Can Kizer sustain a time consuming drive now?
As long as MLF doesn't call any pass plays.
Imagine paying $100 to watch this game. And then sit in traffic.
Canada has traffic?
I’m regretting wasting bandwidth streaming this.
Hungry5 posted:Canada has traffic?
Yes. But the stress is covered.
58 (Sheldon) has had a pretty good game, albeit against future car salesman. Can he play ILB?
I think that the officials flagged a good tackle right there. That was not leading with the head.
I fully admit, I turned it off after the first half. Once I saw St. Brown's injury, that was about enough for me.
Tonight was the Trevor Davis show. He was fantastic, by far the best I ever remember him looking. I had heard some beat writer mentioning that he was having a great camp before the injury in practice vs the Texans. It's only a preseason game vs the lowly Raiders, but maybe, just maybe Davis can give Allison or Valdez-Scantling a battle for either the #2 or #3 wideout.
I think we may have seen the last of Kizer. He couldn't manage any points against 4th stringers on a short field. Hard to make a case for him to stick around.
