You can't win the Super Bowl or be eliminated from the post-season in the preseason but plenty of analysis goes into what teams do even before the games "count." A buddy of mine is a super-biased Giants fan and when I pointed out the critics being skeptical of the Giants' preseason games he said "These games don't count." Silly me, only one of us was surprised when the team not only didn't win the Super Bowl in 2014, but won a mere 6 games.
Anyways, the entire NFL was being watched and evaluated and criticized/praised for the past month or two. Did you miss all that?
The Lions were 4-0 in the preseason in 2008. They did go and break records that year... but not in a good way. Preseason means nothing.
