There are many issues with the NFL’s preseason. Four games is way too many and it’s absolutely absurd that the NFL asks fans to pay full price to attend these glorified scrimmages. However, quite possibly the biggest issue I have with it is the lack of All-22 film availability. If the NFL wants to charge full price for attendance, shouldn’t they also be providing a “full price” fan experience as well? Instead, I’m left with nothing to review but those dumb tight sideline shots from the TV broadcast.
My own personal complaints aside, I did go back and re-watch the game and here are my takeaways from that viewing.
