Official 'who saw the game' analysis thread

In 1967 the Saints went 5-1 in preseason and then went on to win about 2 or 3 games in the regular season. Preseason is what it is...the season that doesn't count before they actually start the season that does count.

We as tax paying citizens are being bilked for millions and millions of dollars every year to watch something that doesn't really count for anything except assist coaches make up their mind about their upcoming roster...which I believe any coach could do in practice. Get rid of the preseason games and make them all count!! Everyone would be on the same playing field.

Did I mention that I detest preseason.

You know I'm sick (and tired) of you holding back your emotions. This is not an effective way to communicate. Tell us how you really feel. Cleanse yourself. Let go of your pain.

PS - I hate the Preseason too...
