I hear your argument, "Mr. Anyone can get hurt in any preseason game." Believe me when I say that I hear you, "Mr. Football is a physical game and injuries are part of the game." I get it and understand all 
of the arguments. Here is my argument, the games are meaningless and the players playing in these games are in there when they don't need to be. I have a couple of ideas that might fix the problem. Instead of four weeks of preseason, cut it down to one preseason game and a couple of non-contact scrimmages. I know this won't happen because the owners are greedy and want all the revenue they can get, err... I mean they are smart business people who are capitalizing on their company and the ability to maximize profits and revenue. Whatever! You know as well as I do that the owners would add on as many games as they could if the Players Association would let them. Heck, the owners are trying to get two more games added to the regular season. Pretty soon the Super Bowl will have to go up against the NCAA and March Madness.

Maybe I'm just a little cranky tonight because my wife likes the Broncos and I already knew that it was going to be a rough season without Jay Cutler and having Kyle Orton as your starting quarterback. But now Bronco games will be tougher to watch with her with Tom Brandstater (who?) starting at quarterback for a couple of weeks. See what the preseason has done to me. If Goodell or the owners cared about me, Broncos or Chiefs fans (Yea, Matt Cassel is done for a little while too) they would mercifully limit the amount of preseason games that there currently are. Please somebody....help!

I like your preseason suggestions. One game would give people a taste and the light scrimmages could be fun teasers. Good analysis
ReplyDeleteI 100% agree with shortening the preseason. What is the purpose of playing 4 preseason games honestly. I think if you asked players and coaches most of them would agree as well. However I think two preseason games is appropriate, one at home and one on the road. The games are boring enough as it is. Please shorten and forget about the scrimmages.
