Preseason Football 101

The Dude · 08-22-2016, 04:50 PM

Everyone says preseason doesn't mean anything. Every year you have teams that look great in preseason and when it comes time to play for real their fans find out that they got all hyped for nothing. Their team stinks. The same is not true for teams who look like crap in preseason. If your team looks like crap in preseason it will probably suck in the regular season. I'm not talking about preseason wins, I'm talking about how they look. Shoddy offensive line play and turnovers will definitely carry into the regular season. Looking flat and vanilla on the other hand won't.
We look like the kind of bad that will carry into the regular season. Our offense does anyway.

There were threads labeled "it's just preseason" each of the last two years and we know how that turned out.

I agree about the continuous sloppy play and the shat play of the oline. That can be fixed when it happens once, when it becomes the norm it is the norm

It's very possible some of us just refuse to be the Manchurian candidate of fans. We actually see through our eyes and see this team isn't good at anything except QB. Yes going on record to say this team will not have a winning year. I highly doubt they reach what they did last year. My prediction 6-10 is the best I can see us being. So go ahead and say he is a idiot but come Jan. I'll be here and let's just say guys like you Asylumquido and others will have excuse after excuse and defend the coach and front office til your blue in the face.

Besides it's my opinion we suck I'm entitled to it just like you are entitled to yours. but to say people are idiots ,buffoons,non football educated is just wrong and as a so called ambassador you should be ashamed to have that moniker and how dare you in my opinion cause excuse me sir who the hell are you i dont see your name on the teams website as anyone connected to the organization. Your just another Tom Dick And Harry with a opinion just like the rest of us

I can't disagree with you because the oline looks so bad that I don't think we can fix that in the next 2 weeks. To be honest I don't think we are a bad team minus our oline..we need help or this is going to be a long season

Got it written down here smart guy. I'm sure you know exactly what you are talking about. Can't wait to see how this failure of a season pans out for you.

Now Shrimp, I'm really not trying to pick a fight or anything, but I'm just not able to wrap my brain around this Manchurian Candidate of fans thing.

Are you saying something like Arthur Banks kidnaps somebody that looks like Gregory Peck and Denzel Washington's child, wearing black and gold? Who is then whisked off to Atlanta and tortured by having Matty Ice's used pants being rubbed in his face and such until he breaks and is given a secret phrase like, "Ryan is sacked again!"? Then is tortured some more like being put in the middle of a Falcon's fan club (providing they can find enough members to actually surround him) into forgetting he's been brainwashed? Then is sent back to the Dome where, on a critical play he stands, rips the high tech latex black and gold face paint off, exposing a Falcon's tattoo on his forehead thus dismaying the crowd to silence, allowing Matty to audiblize...?

You know what really sucks? Loosing the first game of the season at home.
Should that happen it will set the tone, once again, as it did in the last 2 seasons. On the positive side it would be a confidence booster to win that first game. This is where the focus should be for coach & the team.

Per SP:

Sean Payton some of the Saints' run game problems can be attributed to just running the "training camp offense" instead of game-planning. But he stressed that "it needs to be better."

And he states exactly what the people I base my input upon. And I stick to my guns. It is idiotic to base any real judgement upon two totally useless preseason games. Once again, it is downright stupid to attempt to project into the regular season what backups and players destined to be cut do in a faux game void of any meaningful game planning on either side of the ball.

The Dude · 08-22-2016, 08:32 PM

blame it on who he wants but the O still sucks. Moving Peat around not only hurts Peat but it hurts the entire unit. These guys take more time to gel than any other position and by moving around so much it just means the whole line will be difficult to bring together to play as one.
