While the preseason may not mean a whole lot in tearms of wins and losses. It does measure how good your team will do in regular season.
And I mean how your reserves play. How good your starters are. How the timing etc is coming along. Those are pretty good measuring sticks to tell how your team might look in regular season.
Like right now we are a team that has no real clue as to who some of our starters are on offensive line. We still haven't decided a who is starting Qb. Although it has been stated that Gus is playing with 1st string he really hasn't won the job outright.
So yeah some of us do get a little exciteable when they see preseason games.
Personally i like watching the preseason games. because there are a lot of young guys out to make themselves known to coaches and that means lots of hard hitting. of course there is also alot of sloppy play too. Which is probably why we haven't scored a whole lot in preseason.
So if we can't score points in preseason. I wonder how we will look in regular season.
