Should be an entertaining first qtr.

You could say that about the vast majority of NFL Players.Terrell Pryor has loads of natural talent but he is a fucking idiot.
Geez, Huggy, that was the FIRST PRESEASON GAME for the teams that played yesterday.
Most of the players in those games don't have a ghost of a chance of making the final roster.
I watched the first half of the Patriots/Redskins game last night, and I had NO IDEA who most of the Patriots players were, or where the hell they came from. Only a handful of actual starters actually played in that game.
UNBELIEVABLE that you would put so much thought and analysis into the FIRST preseason game.
Give it a rest and give me a break!

My thoughts exactly.
I think preseason games are extremely hard to judge from the outside. We don't know exactly what the coaching staffs are expecting or looking for from the various players. Are they being thrown into situations for which they haven't been well prepared, just to see how they do? Have they been taking reps with the other players they are on the field with, or do you have first, second and third stringers mixed who almost never work together? Are the coaches looking at a particular characteristic of a player and not overly concerned about others (such as the ability to pick up rushers/execute blocks for a RB or WR)?
Yes, you can get glimpses of potential from preseason games, but for the most part they are evaluations of players we will almost never see play in any regular season games, especially these first preseason games.
I rarely watch preseason. I want to see the NFL teams at their best, not the backups and the practice squad players.
as i predicted,the seahhawks obviously didnt show the donkeys much in the game,are saving everything for the regular season.just wondering huggy,i see peyton had quite a few pass attempts,did he play the whole first quarter?
The only reason I watch the preseason is to see how the rooks do.
And in the case of my Texans this year the new coaches and schemes as well.
obvious Carroll had no intentions of winning.[/B]..which is a departure from past seasons.

Really...I think Carroll would have been happy to win. If Pryor hadn't thrown that pick at the end of the game. Or the dropped pass at the goal line...don't you. Why did Russel Wilson Play more than the opening series?
If Carroll didn't wan to win why were those plays even called, why did Seattle beat Denver in almost ever stat?
I know the preseason doesn't mean squat but winning preseason games sets a tone for the regular season.
Yeah Seattle wanted to win this game and all the upcoming game to boot. Seattle needs to prove last year wasn't a fluke beside its called pride.

Peyton had one very long time consuming drive in the first qtr. I think it lasted something like 16 plays or more. The Broncos played more real first stringers than did the Seahawks.
16 Seahawks didn't make the trip. On defense the only real first stringer of any consequense that played on defense was Richard Sherman.
Peyton Manning nor his backups didn't throw a single pass in Sherman's area.
The Seahawks didn't show ANYTHING.
I was surprised that Wilson played at all as 5 starters on the O-Line didn't play.
This was the first pre Season game that it was obvious Carroll had no intentions of winning...which is a departure from past seasons.
