Actually, this Quora study found a small positive correlation between preseason record and regular season record. I wouldn't give up on the season if we happen to win most or all of the preseason games, is all I'm saying. That 2008 Lions going 4-0 in the preseason is like saying that Tom Brady proves the draft rank is meaningless.

As stated in this same thread it also happened in Cleveland's winless season. 4-0 in preseason and 0-16 in the regular. Putting stock in a preseason game is not a good idea is all I'm saying. The only good things are evaluating bubble players in live action, knocking the rust off for our starters and getting into 'game shape'.
