    This is coming from an Eagles fan, but "the rest of the division sucks the whole tailpipe" is always a significant chance in the NFC East.

    Speaking of Trump and the Cowboys

    My neighbor across the street that put up a flagpole so he could fly his dipshit Trump flag under the US flag swapped it for a Cowboys flag the day after it came out that Trump referred to the fake electors as fake.

    So you know, progress!

    Man that's just bizarre.

    Is it? Always seemed pretty normal to me. I assumed it was relatively common to have this level of hatred for at least one other team.

    It is also worth noting that it is a relatively wholesome rivalry as well. I have never heard of an Atlanta fan speak badly of their experience with Saints fans in a general sense and vice versa. Just endless, merciless mockery over anything at all. You can expect to see a toddler flip off the team for sure. The fans will have as good a time though.

    As an Atlanta resident I'd like to remind you that your team was absolute garbage with no redeeming value before Brees and will be once more.

    You see this is the pure hatred that I like to see. Here is a man whose team has never amounted to anything. A team dedicated to choking when it matters. A team that thrives on almost being good every so often before crashing back down to earth. What does he do? Lash out at the better team. This is truly inspirational. It is why we have dedicated a statue to this great rival. Here it is for you to admire, and look upon. So you can see the glory of your team immortalized without having to travel to the better city.

    Just tuned in to the Panthers/Bills game.

    Kinda surprised that the Panthers are dominating, even in preseason. One of the supposed strengths of the Bills is their depth. If their second and third teams can't compete against the Panthers, I'm not sure I believe that.

    Just heard the commentators talking about how it's a good thing that the Panthers kept fourth string PJ Walker.

    Because they lost their rookie QB Matt Corral last week to a season ending foot injury.

    And apparently lost Sam Darnold tonight for some time (the descriptor is accurate, it's disturbing) due to another foot injury. He had to be carted off, which is never a good sign.


    "Wouldn’t watch this if you get queasy easily … but this is why Sam Darnold was carted off. Watch his left ankle."

    One of the best trolls I ever pulled off on my FFXIV Discord was directed at a Falcons fan. I'd overheard her mentioning it offhand once. I then spent like two or three months casually talking football, and finally one day was like "oh yeah just listening to the Saints game" and she predictably went off. I said "Who's your team?" and she says "The Falcons of course!" to which I said "The who? Sorry, I just started watching football recently and have only memorized the winning teams so far."

    SnoopyBowl today?

    I was thinking that there should be a different term for a preseason matchup of the Jets vs Giants vs a regular season one.

    And then I figured there's not much difference between a pointless game between these two where the score doesn't really matter and that has no real effect on the standings and is just generally a waste of time for everybody involved, and a preseason game.

    He checked with his image consultant over there in cloudcuckooland and got told it was a bad look, so he released a halfhearted take about how people should plant flower boxes and be nicer instead.

    Looks like it's gonna be Flacco vs Tyrod. Zach Wilson is still hurt, Giants are sitting Jones.

    Hearing the commentators try and force enthusiasm is entertaining in it's own right.

    Who thought this would be a good opener to the final day of pre-season? Even if both starting QB's were playing?

    EDIT - Jets first drive ends when Flacco takes off, realizes that's not an option, throws to a receiver short of the sticks, guy battles through several Giants to make yardage, but coughs up the ball.

    Giants first drive. 1st and 10, hand off for 3. 2nd and 7, 2yd pass incomplete (thrown into the grass). 3rd and 7, sacked by three Jets almost untouched.

    "When we come back, NO SCORE!". The commentators having to sound enthusiastic for this derpfest is just funny.

    Wilson at this point is a known quantity. He's like Carlton the football player

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Second drive, Jets do nothing. Giants, Tyrod throws one of the worst picks that I've seen this pre-season.

    Third drive, Jets start in opposition territory. Get a FG.

    Biggest indictment? Apparently the Jets are starting their first team. Giants are sitting theirs. And the Jets are still only able to get points on the board because of a turnover.

    Giants get a good 25yd pass play off, Tyrod goes down. Looks like he's OK though.

    It really is just waiting for defensive incompetence to overtake offensive incompetence.

    EDIT - Re Tyrod back injury, questionable to return. So we're stuck with Webb, because they apparently don't want to put Jones in.

    EDIT EDIT - Re INT, Flacco says "Hold my beer", and throws not just a worst pick from a throw perspective, but it goes for a pick six.

    Honestly the biggest reason to have Taylor at 2 on the depth chart is that he's played significant time in real games. Webb has arguably looked better all preseason
