Pre-Season only 6 weeks out, how do you think we will do in our Pre-Season debut?

Who gives a flying poo?
The Cowboys went winless in the preseason in one of their super bowl wins, and I beleive 3 or 4 teams have gone winless in the preseason and won it all. I do not watch the preseason cause it gives us false hope.
Remember when the Skins went 4-1 in the preseason and we scored the most points EVER in the preseason...oh yeah, it was the first year of the SPurrier era / debacle. How did we do in the regular season?????

PRESEASON IS COMPLETELY USELESS.

While I don't agree with "completely useless" entirely, wins certainly don't count here. Get the first team some game reps and let the backups show who can deliver at game speed rather than practice speed.

And for God's sake, tell CP to lay down if there's an interception while he's on the field!

Only 6 weeks. The countdown is on.

no INJURIES!!!

Well, at least drop it to 2 games. 4 games is dumb, and basically no one is trying other than the players on the bubble...they are just trying to get into "game shape".

And for God's sake, tell CP to lay down if there's an interception while he's on the field!

LOL.

I'd like to see the first team working well on both sides of the ball, as well as a good showing by the cornerbacks and receivers of the second team. It would also be nice if someone on the second-team offensive line looked solid.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you as well. Who cares if Mark Brunell goes 8 for 10 against the backups? We know what he can do (and can't do). We know what Betts can do. We know what Omar Stoutmire can do. And the players we don't know about will be going against other scrubs so it won't tell us much about how they would do against starters either.

I suppose if the second team destroys the other second team in a big way you could jump to some conclusions but I want to see the first team dominate. To me, that's where its at.

So, don't you think that you could also make some conclusions if the second team gets destroyed like the defensive teams did last year?

Last year the first team defense came out and dominated. Then, when the second team came in, they sucked. They sucked so bad, Williams started throwing in some of the starters with them, and they still couldn't stop anything. To stop the other team, Williams basically had to have ALL his starters in. In hind sight, I realize that it told me exactly how the season was going to go. If there were injuries to the defense, we were going to be toast because our backups were inferior.

IMO, watching the backups is really the main reason to watch the preseason. If they can consistently beat the other team's backups then we know our talent level is where it needs to be.

to me, its about watching the starters execute. and everyone staying injury free. i wonder if portis will play at all, after last year

I think we will win one game.

And it wont matter one bit.

Just come out of the preseason releatively healthy and I'll be happy. If the starters look good, great, but if not, does it really matter? No. What matters is that they play well on opening day and thereafter. These "games" are nothing but glorified scrimmages, and one of the biggest rip-offs in sports. I just don't see the logic in getting worked up about games that don't matter.

Pretty much the pre-season means nothing as long as we make it through with no injuries i am happy. It is the game against the Dolphins that I can't wait for.
