Would 4-0 Preseason Scare You?

Barry from MS · 08-28-2014, 04:17 PM

What do you think? I'd be pretty impressed with this team's defense and it's depth considering Brees played so little within the scope of 4 games.

Check out this link of historical preseason undefeated teams...it's the good, the bad, and the ugly of an undefeated preseason (teams are in alphabetical order) for the "Gee Whiz, Wally" factor:

No.

You can click to sort by regular season record.

2008 Lions PS 4-0, RS 0-16
2011 Rams PS 4-0, RS 2-14
2000 Chargers PS 4-0, RS 1-15

Preseason record is irrelevant.

Record is irrelevant, but you can tell often which teams are going to get a good start. In 2009 during the preseason game against the Raiders, I said to my boss "This looks like a Super Bowl team".

Not really. Didn't the 72 Dolphins win all their preseason games?

ScottF · 08-28-2014, 05:25 PM

they keep W-L for preseason games now?

Barry from MS · 08-28-2014, 05:56 PM

I get it...we shouldn't put real value in preseason records or individual stats. Glorified practices at regular season prices...I get it. I'm not a moron, unless you ask my wife or my 8 bosses (8 bosses, Bob...), though my subject line could have been worded much better for my intent.

I just wanted to see what y'all thought about this team if we go 4-0 in this preseason and what it means in the overall assessment of this team rolling into the regular season.

And PFF stats too, which I actually look forward to.

Yeah I know, I need to get a life.

Didn't you see - there's now an All Pro Preseason team... GMAFB

No... sense it would go perfect with the undefeted season and Brees's legalise.
