Denver didn't play 7 of their 11 defensive starters and we still had 5 turnovers.
Hoyer is in for a battle of the ages against Tommy Boy in Super Bowl LII.

I actually thought both Hoyer and Beathard looked decent in the second preseason game. I was more concerned about the lack of a running game than anything else. At least 3 of those turnovers were kind of weird, flukey things that aren't going to happen all in one game very often. The ball coming out of Hoyer's hand was pretty ugly but the INT wasn't his fault at all and was more of a great play by the defender grabbing the ball while the receiver was bobbling it. The pass hit the guy in the hands and if there was justice in the world the receiver would have gotten the INT instead of Hoyer.
It was refreshing to me to see guys making quick reads and accurate throws. That's something we didn't see much of during the Kaepernick era. Pass protection was great, but that will happen when all the other team's pass rushers are sitting on the bench.

Cowboys QB Cooper Rush is 17/20 196 yards 3 TD and 0 INT for a passer rating of 147.08
So Dallas has the reigning rookie of the year, the winningest college football QB ever, and the next Dak Prescott heading into this season.
Has any team ever sent 3 QBs to the Pro Bowl? They'll obviously be exempt from playing in it, but still

so I tried to watch a pre-season game in like 4 years or something and they are still so fucking bad I only managed almost a quarter of the Colts Cowboys. Why is this crap even on tv? And the pre-game hype. Jesus. they made it sound like it was a super bowl or something. Just cut the pre-season to 2 games and be done with it.

The announcers just say things like "Not that it fucking matters" after awesome plays and just call a lot of the 3rd stringers "some guy" while taking unannounced bathroom and snack breaks that's only discernible because there's 0 commentary for several minutes at a time randomly throughout the game. Probably limiting most of the commentary just be random non-football related conversations and then turn to mocking the viewers for still watching the 4th quarter of a pre-season game would be more appropriate

And then when the first turnover occurs in week 1, we will have to listen to some dumbass announcer say, "Obviously they aren't as ready as normal because there were only 2 preseason games."

I coulda swore that in the situation where both teams had penalties, personal fouls trumped all the rest. In that case it was 2 holdings, a block in the back, and a personal foul by one team; and a holding by the other. The only way the personal foul can be canceled out is by another personal foul, right? Did that rule change, or was this not a real personal foul? Or do we chalk this up to "It's pre-season for the refs too"?

Types of penalties don't cancel out only other penalties of the same type. So the refs didn't do anything wrong here. Personal fouls don't 'trump' all others.
