The fact that there were two drives that could have ended in scores but didn't shows us exactly the same problems they suffered from last year.
That doesn't give me much confidence.

You can't read into the preseason too much, especially the first game. Its easy to be realistic, pessimistic, and quick to judge when we don't play well - but if the skins played incredible, i.e. two TD drives of 80 yards, Ramsey is 10-12, portis gets a 50 yards run, everyone would be creaming their pants ... and that would be nuts, because that could all be smoke and mirrors ... just like the mediocre performance against the Pathers could be a mirage ... giving up no sacks for 4 Qtr's IS A BIG DEAL, that TD to 50/50 WAS A FLUKE! and a BS job by the Refs, our offense was cold, but their is potential - the one thing that is unexcuseable, and that was really dishearting to see was THE DAMN PENALTIES!!!
