Freaking Broncos are killing it right now. Preseason and all, but they're hitting on a few cylinders already

when you start a ridiculous thread then don't be surprised when people call you on it.. even if it's just for "fun".

Unless Gilbert and Nucci aren't playing in that game, we're losing.

Since the nfls inception only the 1982 Washington Commanders have gone winless in the preseason and still won the auperbowl

the 1990 bills and 2000 giants also went winless but lost in the Super Bowl

I guess next Sunday against the Jags is a must win???

(I’m clearly having a little fun with this one….but in all seriousness it is a trend to make note of….good teams win at least a little in the preseason it appears). Can’t wait for the real thing!!
We went winless in the pre season
When we won our last super bowl

Sorry dude...that's not correct...we went 2-3...we beat both Buffalo and Houston in games 1 and 5

Played Buffalo twice that preseason (odd), splitting 1-1.

Lost the almighty "dress rehearsal" to Denver but beat them in week two when the games actually counted. Go figure. :rolleyes:

When it counted they turned it up...man I loved that opening game against the giants....i remember telling my dad I couldn't imagine another team scoring on us we were just that good...

My apologies
Did we ever go winless in preseason in our sb winning seasons?

Haven't found 1971 (yet) but with 6 of them I doubt Dallas went 0-6.

1977: 3-3
1992: 2-3
1993: 1-3-1
1995: 2-3

Interesting that the best preseason mark was .500 in 1977.

EDIT: Dallas went 6-0 in 1971 preseason, the only team to do it that year. Then remember they went 4-3 the first half of the season before winning out.

Lol good one. The score of a preseason game is the most useless information ever. They really shouldn't keep it much less keep it posted in the corner of the TV.

I thought we did our bid, by losing the hall of fame game , that was the requirement , Isn’t it. ?

Anytime the Cowboys line up and I want to see them win, but I also get Pre season is about individual performance not team. After Jacksonville game the records go to 0-0 and not one is going to give a flip if you won 3 or 4 games in pre season or 0 games in pre season. All it will do is help determine who makes the team and who is cut and even that will likely change as teams across the league release players and bring in other players at the bottom of their rosters
