11. They Don't Play Some Of Those Games At All

It's even worse than you describe.
Almost no starters played the 4 games (when there were 4) and hardly anyone plays the third now.
Those games are for the coaches to decide which of the 35th through 65th players are going to make the team.
The first 22 starters, kickers, kick coverage wings & first reserve for every unit is known halfway through training camp.
So, it's more than not playing the entire game. Last year Mahommes played 28 minutes the entire preseason! Same here in Chicago with DJ Moore & Cole Kmet. If I missed the 1st series, I never saw them.
These games are a ripoff & should be eliminated.
The coaches would learn as much from intersquad scimmages.
