I guess what I didnt like the most was just how uninspired they looked overall, even for a glorified scrimmage. It is unacceptable and those of us that have played the game know what I mean.

Also one thing that bothered me a tad little bit was when Dunlap messed with Dalton's interview. I dont mind joking around and all that, but they just played like dogcrap against a 2-14 team last year yet you couldn't tell that by the way the players were talking and acting on the sideline highlighted by that. Granted it didn't matter record-wise, but they just got outplayed and it didnt seem to phase them, or at least a lot of them. Maybe thats a good thing? I dont know, but when my teams would get whooped in a scrimmage, I dont remember being in as good as moods as they were.

Absolutely Millz !

It's a preseason game the final score doesn't matter........but

The O-line play sucked ! A. Dalton did not play well, AJ Green wasn't engaged, our RB's looked uninspired- that probably stems in part from the O-line stinking up the place. The defense took a game off, the list goes on and on. There were perhaps 3 or 4 players who looked like they wanted to play in the first 3 quarters of the game. But the thing that matters above all this is this :

They didn't care, no heart, no emotion, etc. I fully understand it's a preseason game and nobody is going all in. But the lack of inspiration and lack of pride displayed last night on the national stage was dumbfounding !

I could have cared less if they got beat 35 -6 last night if they at least looked like they cared.
