Ezeiruaku on communication issues being a result of not playing in preseason

Thinking that they can't overcome 1 loss with 16 games to go is stupid.

how many times have we missed the playoffs by a game?
THAT is stupid to ignore

According to this, both Wentz and Dart played preseason game 2. I am game by game destroying the narrative that other teams do not play starters.
(note...I've not proven (YET) that helps oer not. Just sayin other teams DO...in fact...play starters and stars preseason. But I put more faith in THEM than Jerry)

I don't disagree that other teams play starters in preseason. But how many starters and how many of those games and how long in them? Personally, I think we should play starters to a meaningful degree in games just not entirely.

Possibly.

People here have been saying the Giants starters played some in preseason. You are claiming they didn't. Which is it?

I think most teams hold out certain starters in preseason or they play in those games for a limited period of time. I think our starters need need to be in preseason games to some meaningful degree just not in each game from start to finish.

WTH?

Ok, in English. No one can predict an injury so what's the point of not playing in preseason? I don't mean the whole game either.

Yes...that's all ANYONE for it askes for...just a couple series in...maybe two of the games.

back in the day when there were four preseason games there would be build up. 1st preseason game, starters would play a drive or two. 2nd preseason, a quarter. 3rd preseason would be the "dress rehearsal" a half to three quarters. 4th preseason starters would be held out.

Simple math. The more you play, the more you’re likely to get injured. Also, more wear and tear on your body. I remember Zeke’s rookie year. They played Seattle in the preseason and Seattle was playing its starters. Zeke made some of the most physical runs in his career in that game. That was a Seattle team that had just been to two SB’s with the Legion of Boom defense. It’s a must see preseason game if you haven’t seen it.
