DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2018 NFL Season Looking Back Preseason: Browns 20 Giants 10 Welcome Back

This is great.

Preseason football on NBC and a show on the HOF inductees on NFL Network.

Welcome back, NFL football.

It would be better if Collinsworth wasn't on it.

i love when there's a fumble and the ball is bouncing on the ground.

all sense of practice and training goes out the window, and nobody knows whether to dive on it, try to pick it up and run, or just start pushing ppl out the way.

I think Collinsworth is excellent. I hated him as a player and didn't like him when he first began announcing. However, no one is more prepared than he is. He is excellent as a color guy if you want to hear about football. If it's just about "likeability," than I might agree w/you.

He's been doing it for a long time, so he must be good at his job. I don't mind him, he's got a good voice/sense of timing and situation.

Anyway, to the spirit of the thread, I'm glad it's back tonight, even if it's just a garbage pre-season game.

Go Bears!!!

Thanks. I was hoping we could maybe have a good news thread.

orlando brown jr is huge

I think he is raw as can be and his speed sucks.........but, I watched him block at Oklahoma and the guy was a stud. He was part of the best collegiate line in all of college football. He was also the star of that line.

I think he is better than most folks think.

The NFL is hard to watch on Television.

I don't like interviews of players or anybody while live action plays are going on, that's one reason.
It looks like nearly every play, at least 7 times the eventual tackler lowered their helmut/head to make initial contact and it wasn't called a penalty.

The NFL has been difficult to watch for several years now, there are so many commercial breaks I think I always watch at least 2 other shows at the same time.

There really isn't any two teams that could match up that I'd think would be a game I just have to not miss, unless it's a Browns playoff or Super Bowl matchup.

It's the Hall of Fame game, it's the VEry FiRst matchp of live action in the NFL in over 6 months and Trubisky can't even take 3 snaps in a "kangaroo court of a series start" ?, I find something wrong with that.

There are a ton of reasons the NFL is difficult to watch, not the least of which is the favoritism of certain groups set aside for celebration because of the market they played in or other things.

For one I don't think Urlacher was anything special.

They are a quarter and 4 minutes into the game and the broadcast is already treating the game like it is the final 5 minutes of a 4th qtr blowout.

I haven't liked Al Michaels for decades, yet there is no chance for variety, if there is a supposed "marquee" matchup, of any kind, He is darkening the door of my television broadcast nearly 100% of the time.

Just a few of the reasons the NFL is difficult to watch on television,
It almost kind of makes me miss the "good parts" of John Madden's broadcasts.

Anytime the NFL booth directors show two guys wearing ties in the booth, they might as well be negative 1000 points in my book.

At least it's almost a chance for the regular season to start, yet since 2007, what does that mean.

Pigskin returns! ::Much cheering!

A lot of "Who is THAT?" tonight. But it is not golf, tennis, poker, world cupped soccer, and so on. Football.

And despite my feeling for Ray Lewis, I am watching, and muting the girly spots, and appeased.

I am watching football.

I can understand why you are employed as a Motivational Speaker.

You really got me fired up, bro!!!!

I have a hard time getting into preseason unless it's my team....

I think it is pretty cool how Randy Moss has matured. I think it is cool how he is honoring the hall and not making this about him like TO is.


I also think that Randy Moss was the most explosive, dangerous receiver who ever lived. I am not saying he was the best, but the dude's speed and amazing catching radius scared the crap out of all defenses who had to try and defend him.

great interview by Randy Moss ... so humble and centered. Well done

Looking forward to watching Lamar Jackson 2nd half

Football again.

Its like a breath of fresh air.

I can get my fix.

Time to dust off my jersey.

Chase Daniel gets the ball out fairly quick .. not a bad backup iMO

Chris Farley as Matt Foley, motivational speaker, on Saturday Night Live, With David Spade and Christina Applegate on the couch.
" young lady what do you want to do with your life?'
" I want to live in a van down by the river."

Well there will be a lot of time for doing that, when you're Living! in a VAN!! down by the RIVER!!

( we've got ourselves a regular Bill Shakespeare here, but son "it looks like you've been using your papers not for writing, but for rolling doobees")

Classic, start to finnish, "I'm moving in"
"lock the door honey"
" I love you Daddy" . Yes that kind of motivational speaker.

i thought he would be good too if he dedicated, cause that combine was rough.

but so far in this game, he's absolutely handling the RT spot right now. nobody is getting by him.

Ravens are gonna struggle putting up.points this year.
Willie Snead and Michael.Crabtree are worse than Maclin and Wallace at WR.
they will be in the cellar this year

I disagree w/that almost completely.

I think the that Crabtree is very good. Snead is tougher than Wallace.

I'd say that it's a wash.

I think the Ravens are probably ranked second in most power rankings in this division, but I could be wrong.

I LOVE IT !!! Sitting outside ..Im literally 2 streets over from the HOF..People everywhere..Neighbors getting $10 to let people park in their drives and yards..

It's a BLAST !!!! I loved growing up here..Used to sit on the roof..we had signs..the roof was nearly flat..My dad would yell out..YOUR ON TV!!..the Blimp would be right above my parents house.

It's football season Vers...Thank GOODNESS !!!! Blimp over head..got my chrome book in my lap..having a Corona and enjoying the beautiful warm night..Oh and my lady friend...lol she was asking...lmao

WOOF ! WOOF !


Happy Football Season all you DAWGtalkers... may we enjoy or conversations and disputes with respect.....RIGHT !

Do they still do the party the night before the parade, bro.

I lived in alley just off of 12th and Fulton back in the day. We threw huge HOF parties. I remember taking 6 different females to my BR on one of them. The stoners were counting them out for me. LOL

LAMAR JACKSON

My Gosh Vers..over by Mike Canans bar...WOW !!! those were the days..Unfortunately them days of the night before no longer exist..

If you lived along the parade route back in those days..you never knew who was going to come in and party at your house...lol CRAZY times...

Yep, we had a house one block S of 12th street and a couple of blocks E of Fulton. It was on Richard. Ever hear of it?

Those were the days, bro. Big time parties and tons of sex. Gotta love it.

i don't know how lamar jackson will be ... but his athleticism jumps off the screen

Wow! Great interview w/Jerry Kramer. Respect for the game. Respect for his coach. Acceptance of decisions that are out of his hands.

Btw====BS flag on helmet hit by number 46.

I already hate this rule!!!!

i was fond of the Gisen House
good German cuisine

how else was he supposed to.defend the reciever?.
worst rule ever.

I used to like that place in N. Canton. Peanuts all over the floor was cool!

Yep, didn't even lead w/the helmet. Worst rule ever, for sure.

remember Ground Round???
when The Browns were doing camp.in Kent Id see guys like.Cody Reisen Doug Dieken hang out there.

I do, but only went there once.

Eh...........Lamar Jackson. He better learn to read defenses and coverages quick, or he is going to get killed.

WoW! Robert Brazile! Loved the dude as a player back in the day. Big, fast, strong. Better watch yo' ass if you were on the other team.

Cool dude. Love that his 86 year old dad is presenting him!!!!

Nice throw by Lamar. He does have some arm talent.

Eh.................missed that one because footwork was off.

Oilers had a good defense in the 70s
Curly Culp Greg Stemrick Elvin Bethea Robert Brazile
seemed like the MNF crew loved the Oilers especially Meredith.
too bad Dan Pastorini held that offense back.
Kenny Burrough would have 6 guys on him and Dante would throw it anyhow
pick.
he was a INT machine
