I liked the overall feel of how the game went. Definitely a good first step. Last year, the feeling wasn't good and i ignored it, thinking things would get better over time. They obviously didn't and i looked back thinking i should have trusted my gut.
It was a good start to a mostly meaningless (in the grand scheme) vanilla game. It's funny to see people going off the hook talking about all the changes that need to be made.
Come on, so many here were waiting for the preseason games to even 'MAKE' a guess at where this team would finish!
Preseason tells the coaches which 53 they keep, what their depth looks like. and where their weaknesses are.
I predicted 8-8 after the draft, and after one game, I stand by that.
My prediction may change as the preason games unfold as we will all get to see the dress rehearsal game against the Redskins, where they usually put starters out for the first half. My 8-8 may tweak after those first 3 games, but don't come on here with that foolishness that preseason games don't mean anything.
Yes, the SCORES don't mean anything because there are teams that have gone 0-4 in preseason and made the playoffs. (14 times).
