jaysus that was a poor attempt at a slide.

eagle eye

Nice crisp pass there from Mallett to Boyce.

Paully D

Niners Gabbert = Jaguars Gabbert despite the reports he was looking like a different player.

Terrible INT.

It was a few drives.

He's now 3/11 for 20 yards and 1 (very poor) INT at the half.

Kurt Warner is the co-commentator for the game and has just himself said virtually the same thing. He mentioned that he was excited to see him after hearing reports that he would be better, but said he hasn't completed passes or been at all accurate with the football.

A perfect example of Gabbert was seen in the middle of the second quarter. He had a receiver wide open on 3rd down about 8 or 9 yards away with limited pressure and all he had to do was throw the ball accurately and said receiver was away for a decent gain. Instead, he threw the ball behind the receiver, the receiver had to go backwards and stoop down to catch the ball and was ultimately stopped a yard short.

Yes, it's preseason. Yes, it's the first game. But he looks no better from the limited snaps he has played with the same issues that he had in Jacksonville coming to light already, despite the reports coming out of the camp.

Disappointed with his drop really looking good in camp thought he might push for a spot but that fumble is him done.

Masked Man

Colt McCoy is looking decent.

Masked Man

Forbath could lose his job. Think I remember reading that he has a weak leg and it was messing up the Redskins on ST. That last kick is worse than Finch's fumble.

Masked Man

Yes Garoppolo is freed!

Masked Man

future GOAT.

Masked Man

ugh think he could have run it in?

Im delighted to see he brings his A game for games even if its a Pre-season. He was looking bad all the way through camp. If he keeps this up all the way through his bench warming we will be alright because Mallet is garbage.

Paully D

Lorenzo Taliaferro is a tough man to bring down.

Justin Tucker nails a 55 yarder with ease.

Masked Man

rough day for Finch.

Masked Man

Liking the look of Tyms!

Paully D

Last five minutes now and I'm falling asleep so that's me done for the night. I'm quite happy with that as an opening preseason performance all things considered.

The offense under Kubiak looks interesting. The run game should be much improved if nothing else.

Lorenzo Taliaferro the most impressive for the Ravens IMO. I'm looking forward to watching him play more over the next few weeks.

Masked Man

Woodhead is awesome. Cowboys D is not.

Chargers offence could be a lot fun to watch this year.

Really hope Romo's back isn't as bad as it could be.

What games should I check out on the journey home this evening? Thinking I can get 2 condensed games in on the train and gonna watch the Panthers live tonight.

Seahawkes game was a decent competitive enough one. Chargers shocking, jets was poor in second half anyway when backups came in. NE looks a blow out unless u want to see how goropilo got on. So toss up between ravens 9ers or the high scoring chiefs game after that

I read like 3 days ago that all the national media at camp are raving about him. Mayock said he saw an NFL starter, others saying he is ''Tom Brady in the making''.

How much do the Patriots pay these guys to say this sh*t?

"I was blown away today. I saw a legitimate NFL starting quarterback today backing up Tom Brady," Mayock said after Monday's scrimmage versus the Redskins. "So as the season progresses and we get closer to draft time and what the Patriots can or can't do with him, I think they drafted Jimmy Garoppolo for a reason, as an insurance policy. But trust me, Ryan Mallett's a starting quarterback in this league, and he popped today."

As exciting as it can be to just have football back on TV, the real goal of Friday night's game will be for the coaching staff and front office to evaluate their roster in real-game action and especially the no.1 QB. Bears lost 2013 backup Josh McCown in free agency so the Bears appeared content heading into the 2014 season with Jordan Palmer as their No. 2 quarterback. After Palmer missed time in minicamp because of a damaged muscle, the team opted to bring in former Carolina Panthers Jimmy Clausen for a workout and ultimately signed him. At this point, Palmer holds the upper hand in terms of familiarity with the system, and Clausen knows he needs to improve on that.

can't wait to see how zach hertz, matt barkley, mark sanshez, jordan matthwes, marcus smith, taylor hart and beau allen in particular do may end up missing the game so il have to watch it monday but there are far more preseason story lines than iv ever seen before on this eagles team

It is absolutely ridiculous. He has completed a grand total of 1 pass in the regular season for a whopping total of 17 yards (per ESPN) and these media guys reckon he's an NFL starter. It's idiotic.

If the Patriots can somehow get a semi-decent draft pick for him off a completely desperate team it will robbery.

Kirk Cousins is another one. He has at least played more than a few snaps, but he's another that's not good enough to be a starter that has generated mid-round draft pick consideration in a trade.

I think Cousins is good enough to be a starter, not only do I think that but I think he is good enough to be in the top half of starters in the league.

On Mallett, we really don't know how good or bad he is. If you seen Brady in preseason in 2000 you would understand this.

Another example is Brad Sorenson who I had as a binkie in last year's draft. He had a fantastic preseason but nobody is looking to take him off the Chargers and it looks like he is going to sit there and be a no.2/3 for quite some time.

Itssoeasy

I've only fully watched the niners ravens game and the big take away from it was that Blaine gabbert was horrible.

Honestly I don't see Mallett's situation and Brady's situation being comparable. Mallett has been with the team long enough now to prove he has some talent but every year he looks poor in what should be considered his proven ground i.e pre-season. I do believe the Pats see it this way also hence the move for Jimmy and all the trade speculation. He is never going to improve and if he ever does get his chance to be a NFL starter and do well and prove me wrong I will eat my hat and take pictures.

Edit: Mallett can throw a deep ball better than a short pass and it seems his attempts to fix his short passing game has been useless. He just cant throw short routes properly and he looks lazy in the pocket. He makes bad decisions all over the place. I just don't ever see him being our starter. The odd excellent flash he show is not enough.

Nice start for the Dolphins as their first team offense strolls down for a TD. Falcons looked worryingly soft though!

The Falcons are 1-11 in their last 12 preseason games. I'd like to see them get hammered as it will make Hard Knocks even more entertaining next week. :pac:

Paully D

What game(s) are you all watching tonight? I'll go with the Raiders @ Vikings hoping to see Bridgewater get plenty of snaps. I have really high hopes for him.

Itssoeasy

All I'm looking for as an eagles fan tonight is the veterans to show they haven't gone noticeably backwards since last season and the rookies to show some potential. The score line means little to me being honest.

Oh god, its going to suck being a Bucs fan again this year.

Getting mauled to bits by Jags DLine.

7-0 Jags after an INT by McCown

Richie Incognito might be getting a call soon.

Stupid INT from foles.

Two penalties in a row from the eagles.

That's a good D-line to be fair.

DDC1990

Oh yeah, but I might as well be in the Bucs OLine for all the good they are doing.

At least try to slow them down a bit :P

Bucs D looks good however.

McCown was a disaster. Lets see what Glennon can do.

So many flags in the bears game -_-

Bears D played well in the first. Good pressure and two picks.

Cutty to the bench. Cutler 9-13, 85 yards, 1 TD.

SUPERBOWL :pac:

Instant pressure on every snap. God love him behind a lovie o line - hasn't a hope.

Hope he has super health insurance

Watched some of the Saints vs. Rams game last night. Some decent plays but got too annoying to listen to the commentators so lost interest.

Every play that a rookie or a guy who wasn't a vet was involved in they would say the same line - "well that's the kind of play he's got to make if he wants to make the 53" regardless of whether he did it right or not.

Alas, the Packers tonight - finally!
