We were dominating Carolina so bad in a scrimmage that Riverboat Ron asked Philbin to back our defense off. Now they are 10-0. And we...aren't. They are also the ONLY team in the NFL to call more run plays than pass plays. And they are 10-0. And we....aren't.
During preseason I was thinking how unimpressive they were with no apparent decent WRs .Rember the discussions on the board about trading Mathews to them. How wrong I was .An impressive job of coaching and using Newton talents .
We already knew this. Look at Tanny's preseason numbers and now. I raised an alarm about only scoring 7 pts in the 3rd game for our starting O
I have to say, this proved why preseason is meaningless. The assumption from here on should be that preseason means nothing. Regardless of the hype, regardless of people calling you a cynic, preseason really does mean nothing.
Well, lol, it's the only place you can judge those fringe players. Nevertheless, I'm not sure the preseason can't be just as misleading, if not more so when it comes to them. I think we've seen that a lot lately.
The Dolphins were 4-0 in the preseason in 2007 if I recall correctly. Just checked they were 2-2 and John Beck looked solid
Anyone who would actually take anything seriously which takes place during preseason games isn't much of a football fan to begin with. They are no more than practice games to help get the players ready for the regular season. I quit going to preseason games years ago and I wouldn't waste my time watching a preseason game.
