Preseason is too vanilla.. we get excited about seeing a 2nd string QB throw passes and look good, just to come and fine out when the real bullets fly and blitzes and schemes are used, that same qb can't find the door of a barn to hit.. So it's more about each individual doing his job one on one..in the real games, it's about team work.
 
I think it's clear that the winner of this game will decide the Long vs. Ryan debate once and for all.

My point is that it's not just the offenses. The defenses are going to be rusty too. Schemes will be pretty vanilla as well.

At this time of the year, nearly every defense is ahead of every offense. Timing and gelling as a unit takes more time on the offensive side than it does on the defensive side. Defenses will be vanilla as you mentioned, but there will be more mental mistakes on offense than on defense all across the league. And yes, the Falcons added new guys on offense, but did they shuffle their line, add 2 new halfbacks and expect everybody to learn a new playbook after only attempting to execute it for 12 practices? No. The guy was just saying that you should expect to see the offense struggle and take winning one on one position battles as a consolation prize. No need for anybody to freak out after this preseason game no matter which way it goes.
 
Excuses flying already and the game hasn't even been played. The overall result of the game doesn't matter, but you can still figure some things out. If Henne goes 2-9 but most of his incompletions are into tight coverage or throwaways then it's not a big deal. If he is over/underthrowing people and making bad decisions then it's just showing who he is. Same goes the other way. It's about watching players not necessarily teams compete.
 
Can we at least see if any one of our qbs play as well as Mallet, whom has had 12 practices in his professional life???
 
I want Henne to drive us down on a 10 play 80 yrd drive completing 5/6 passes for 64 yards and a TD to Bess. I can foresee the furture.
 
I hope we can move the ball and get in the endzone. Other teams do it in pre season and we cant. If our 1st team offense struggles like they have in the past, I don't think that's a good sign of us lighting it up during the regular season.
