i can see some reason for pessimism based on track record but to go off the deep end based on preseason games seems ridiculous to me...
just a reminder for anyone who doesnt remember, in 2008 the lions were undefeated in the preseason and won zero games in the regular season. Im just saying the preseason doesnt mean much in the grand scheme of things.
Starters use it to shake off rust, veterans play maybe a series or 2(a full half in game 3 most times and play none in game 4)....guys on the bubble (and rookies) are playing the majority of snaps in these games...theyre just glorified scrimmages that nfl season ticket holders are forced to purchase cuz otherwise the stadiums would be empty. Who wants to go watch players who wont even be in the league in a couple weeks?
