Why are the Jets playing Josh Johnson? Mike White and James Morgan could use the reps. I hope Hundley is out of the league after this season - just threw an INT. Haskins is also struggling.

Flacco looks solid.

Haskins is horrible
And so is Hundley.
They have been in the league about a 2 or 3 chances too many

Looks like the Steelers put Haskins back in at the end of the game. He was putrid against the Panthers starters, Dobbs started the third quarter and then Haskins got put back in to inflate his numbers.

For the Panthers - It will be interesting to see what happens with their back up position. Grier is the more talented option and played better than Walker this preseason.

The Colts preseason could not have ended up going better than it did - they get Wentz, Nelson and Kelly back for the start of the regular season. Meanwhile both Eason and Ehlinger player well this preseason and received valuable in game experience. Both played well.

What's the deal with the Eagles? Hurts did not play tonight or last week. Flacco has been better than Hurts this preseason. I feel they are going to be in for a long season with Hurts. The Eagles have still done next to nothing to improve their awful receiving corp.

"Too Small, Average Arm".

Lol yea a joke. Meanwhile Noodle Arm Teddy was a 1st round draft pick, a mediocre game manager in Minnesota, benefitted from a good offensive system and players in New Orleans, was given the starting job in Carolina and went 5-11. The blackos decide he is their best chance to win though.

I really hope Darnold has a breakout season with the Panthers. I think he fits Joe Brady's offense well - he's a more talented Joe Burrow in terms of raw ability.

Lol ya Game Manager Teddy has been gifted 3 starting jobs since going pro. Really tough being a Black QB these days. Almost as bad as Josh Johnson on his ninth team lol.

As for Buechele he's got the timing and moxie to be a good QB. at worse solid career backup. I don't pay as much attention to cannon arms, as few of those gunslingers have the accuracy to do anything.

Buechele’s play was never flashy or jumped out but he has always been a solid and reliable QB. He showed that last night, he should’ve been drafted. He’s the perfect guy to have as your backup with potential to become a starter. I doubt he’ll beat out Chad Henne but the Chiefs will be lucky if he clears waivers. He’d never get a chance to start in KC but he could learn a lot from Mahomes.

Sounds like Ehlinger suffered a knee injury last night and it may be season ending.

Not sure about the Rams. Jake Funk got 0 carries in the first half while Xavier Jones had 10 rushes and 1 pass rec. Hope we see Funk in the 2nd half or it could be bad
news. Despite Jones getting 10 carries he only averaged 2.9 yards per rush and that was only that high because he had one 10 yard run to save his stats. Funk is clearly
night and day way more of an explosive fast twitch running back.

My goodness, 2.9 ypc is beyond pathetic. Without the 10 yard rush, that's 19 yards on 9 carries, or 2.1 ypc. That's approaching Kalen Ballage levels of hilarity, and he's doing it against backups and third-stringers. Now that the Broncos have sent in their bottom-of-the-roster guys in the second half, he's now at 13 carries for 44 yards at the end of the 3rd, which still isn't great for a guy who supposedly had the inside track to the starting job before the Michel signing. And yet Funk is STILL without a single touch.

Regarding Funk - my guess is the Rams are playing most of their roster bubble guys tonight rather then those who have made the team. By talent and his performance this preseason Funk should easily be on the opening day roster. We all know the caste system does not use logic though and instead puts skin color ahead of actual performance so anything is possible.

Looks like Laird will be cut by the Dolphins...appears to be 5th string at this point.

Daniel Jones is looking good despite 1 bad interception in the red zone. He just threw a td pass to Kaden Smith.

Well let's hope that a few teams will give him a long look. He has proved he can play in this league. The Patriots would be a good fit.

As a Dolphin fan, I hope they keep him over Malcolm Brown who showed absolutely NOTHING. But this is the racist NFL we're talking about. If the Dolphins do move on from Laird, I hope he lands on a team who actually knows how to utilize his skillset because it's apparent the Dolphins coaching staff doesn't.

Mac Jones is an amazing qb. He makes the game look so easy. The Patriots will be winning alot of games as long as they keep that O-line healthy.

Jones does look good for the Pats. I caught the Giants last drive of the 1st half hand Daniel Jones drove the ball down the field well. I hope he has a big year as he is next up for the White hating media firing squad.

I noticed Chris Johnson is on the Giants - the DB from N. Alabama
