It's how serious some fans take preseason. I mean, for crying out loud, I remember the Bills put up like 40 against the Steelers last year and we saw how that went.

Bengals went on to be 12-4
Bucs went on to be 6-10

I don't think the offensive line will be.

Whatever that means for our record...I don't know. We might be able to gameplan around it. Maybe not.

Defense I have higher hopes for due to our younger players. I'm just hoping they actually start them/give them playing time.

Yep. Now if we were getting sacked every play and couldn't move the ball in 2 games, that would be alarming to me.

Preseason performance isn't going to sway me much - if at all - either way.

I think we made an upgrade over Nugent and I like Minter over Maualuga. The offensive line will be our achilles this entire year. Fisher has looked better in technique. Hopkins has looked good. I just wish they would give Westerman snaps at center and we could have a much more competent line.

It wouldn't surprise me if our line looks like Fisher-Boling-Bodine-Hopkins-Smith by the end of the year though.

I mainly use preseason for techniques and seeing potential rather than results, if that makes any sense.
