Some fans have been infected by years of losing and can't help but perpetuate misery.

Is this particular missed call something to worry about? Hell no. Nothing in the preseason counts and small mistakes like OL drifting upfield on screens can be cleaned up.

What we're seeing is the potential of a young team coming together with spectacular results. You're doing the preseason wrong if you're not looking at positive flashes and projecting what we might see when games count.

It's fun watching Kyler Gordon knocking the crap out of WRs forcing multiple fumbles. Probably going to see that all season. Doesn't matter if the receiver is ruled down in the preseason. No need to scream at the TV. It also doesn't matter if a block in the back wasn't called on the DJ Moore screen. We can see he's capable of taking a WR screen to the house. That's what fucking matters.

Shed the PTSD and embrace your inner meatball.

Not trying to make this a study in minutia but he is and was on the PS last year and inactive for most games. The point was they tended to have only 2 active on game day.

they might of tended to only have 2 on game day and they might do that again. BUT the rules changed making it a better option to have 3 on the 53 so it will depend on how they all play if it makes it worth it

I personally loved hearing all the old farts tell me all week that screens going for touchdowns mean less than bombs down the field for TDs.

I kept asking, is 6 points not 6 points?

It's the rushing td, throwing td, crap all over from last year.

I think too many people care about Madden and Fantasy Football, when all the team cares about is scoring points and trying to win games.

it only means less for evaluating the QB.

Actually, the opposite.

www.cbssports.com

NFL owners approve bylaw allowing teams to have third quarterback on game day without using active roster spot

The bylaw will reduce the odds of last year's NFC title game repeating itself

I now expect you to misinterpret the rule and send us off on another tangent that I will no longer follow.

game day active is not the same as the 53 here let me help you (not being a smart ass they keep changing the rules and it gets confusing)

www.espn.com

NFL owners approve emergency 3rd QB proposal

NFL owners approved a proposal Monday to allow teams to designate one emergency third quarterback from their 53-man roster before kickoff on game days when inactive lists are announced.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

NFL owners approved a rule Monday that allows teams to designate an emergency quarterback on game day, a rule they revived after the San Francisco 49ers ran out of quarterbacks during their loss in the NFC Championship Game last season to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The rule applies only to quarterbacks who are on a team's 53-man roster. Practice squad players are not eligible to be emergency quarterbacks, not even if they are elevated for that week's game. But it allows a team to avoid counting the emergency quarterback as one of its active players on game day, a modest incentive for teams that otherwise would have chosen to go into a game with only two available quarterbacks.

so again the emergency qb has to be on the 53 but does not count against the 46 game day roster.

a debate about the Bears back up QB? Unfortunately that's a never ender

But if you meant abut the new QB rule? then that seems to have already run its course.. that is unless do you have any emergence QB rules questions?

I thought Stevenson was supposed to be a ball hawk?
