Preseason matters?

I only went back to 2011 when Dalton was drafted (combination of being on my work computer and laziness). However, I noticed that when we won 2 or more preseason games, we had a winning record in the regular season. Heck, even 1 of the times we only 1 game we still won 9 games in the regular season.

Now, I'll be the first to say that preseason doesn't matter when it comes to the regular season, but still ... looking at this and seeing that we've already won both preseason games we've played so far bodes well for our regular season.

Pre season means nothing to any other team than the Bengals, when we suck in pre season we usually suck in regular season (except 2015), having said that we barely beat Chicago and got the brakes beat off us against Dallas in the first half soooo!!! Average season to below average ahead, cutting Iloka should help us on defense. Man I would feel better about things if we had of gotten rid of are common denominator in Marvin Lewis.
