Every preseason THIS happens!

[Captain Lou]

Everyone over evaluates every single aspect of meaningless practice games. Two weeks ago the Patriots beat the crap out of Tampa Bay. Then the next week the Lions equally beat the crap of the Patriots. This board would be in a full stage riot had we got beaten that badly. Are the Patriots in big trouble, NO. Our offense has looked good at times, and our offensive line has looked bad, so what! The first quarter of week 1 will tell far us more than all 4 preseason games combined. I for one see a lot of potential in this offfense. If Henne plays well which all indicators have showed a more confident leader. Does it translate into the regular season, nobody knows. We have weapons on offense with Marshall, Bush, Gates, Bess, Hartlline, and Fasano when he decides to hold onto the ball. At the very least we won't be predictable. Last year we knew what plays were going to be called you don't think the defense didn't know that too. That fact alone spells failure. Every year a team comes out of no where. We could end catching the league by surprise out of no where!

maybe because half of the preseason games involves vanilla schemes, and players who will be bagging groceries in september?

Preseason is about 1 on 1 battles, evaluations of how player A does against player B. Regular season games involve more scheme based victories.

so you are saying Henne is not gonna come out of the gates putting up 100.8 QB ratings every game....How dare you
