Your Thursday Night Preseason Football Open Thread

Let’s get at it.

Exiling McCarthy:

To the sidelines, that is. Oh Minny, you had it all figured out. You weren’t going to give Cousins that second contract at his age and after that injury. You found an adequate bridge QB (that bridge being as short as a few weeks, perhaps longer) who, if his play suffered, could be immediately replaced by the rookie. And then that damn meniscus business rears its head. Last Chance Sam is now your leader and your diamonds at wr and tight end are just going to have to make the best of it.

Lynch The Ditherer:

Here’s how I see GM John Lynch handling the Aiyuk situation. 1) “Pfft! We’ve got all the leverage here. Take it or leave it.” 2) “Ok, fine, go find another team!” 3) “Wait. Another team is able to pay him what he wants? Crap!” 4) “Hey buddy, sit down. Let’s talk for a bit.” I have no info but it looks like he’s bungled it every step of the way.

Waiting Costs Money:

Florio has been harping on this for weeks now-Jerrah, Mike Brown and Lynch know they have to pay their wr’s but just can’t help rthemselves and the longer they wait the more expensive it gets. Jones in particular is especially stubborn given that he’s been through this with Zeke and Dak already. And yet his team is the first to be valued in double digit billions.

To The Game!

Eagles/Pats:

-Maybe check out Philly’s rook wr Johnny Wilson who has gotten the kudos in camp but had just the one reception last week. Parris Cambell has done him a solid by being his usual injured self.

-Kenny Pickett is doing himself no favors by failing to throw a pass over 10 yards last week.

-The Eagles RB4 Tyrion Davis-Price found his way on to my fantasy team last year. God, I suck.

-According to Maye he wants to express himself with his feet when the pocket gets wonky.

-Pats rook wr Ja’Lynn Polk can jump to the front of the line because the catching talent is so weak. Should you draft him? God, no. What are you thinking?

See you out on the field.
