Hard Times in the Preseason is a Good Thing IMO

[aikemirv]

I would much rather we have hard times in the preseason than everything go smooth as silk and we get a false sense of security.

It just shows this team that no matter how much talent, there are still things that can cost you games if you don't concentrate on the little things.

The NFL is a tough place, and you can get beat any given Sunday. I think with the Super Bowl or bust hype, the team has gotten the feeling they can just show up and their talent will get them the win.


t is a good lesson at the right time of the year.

I guess that the Pats, SD and the Cowboys are just screwed because they are not playing well in the preseason games that mean nothing.

I would have to think that these three teams need to start their evalutions on 09 FA and draft since their seasons are pretty much over.

If the preseason has this much stock in it then the MVP of the preseason is Jon"we will win 10 games" Kitna. That's right, Jon Kitna has had two perfect preseason games with a QB rating 158.3. Plus the RB champ is the Skins Marcus Mason.

For crying out loud, freak'n fans and the media are pathic sometimes. Reading into something that means nothing except for guys trying to get on the roster. If this was the regular season, ya, than I'd be a little concerned but not when it's August and the games mean crap! :bang2:

I can't tell if you are arguing with me, agreeing with me or being condescending to me.

All I am saying is that struggling a bit will get our attention and cause focus.

Agree! Hope you saw the sarcasm in my response. How can anybody think these games are important, makes me crazy.
