Preseason doesn't mean anything. No matter what the coaches say, If you are on the first team you know that the preseason means diddly squat. The same effort is not given. Maybe in coaching but not in playing

Pre season has NOTHING...
...to do with wins and losses. I've seen a bit of the Steelers. They'll be fine. They've (the starters) shown enough fundamental execution to leave one satisfied that when it counts, they're in good shape.
Otter is right; the Redskins have a history of looking bad in pre-season, even in Superbowl years. That doesn't keep it from being rather unsettling that they are so effectively building on that legacy.

I just noticed on the ESPN NFL News ticker.....
....that T.O. - Dallas Cowboys - has been fined by the team $9500., for missing two team meetings and a rehabilitation session.
Poor T.O., when will people start leaving him alone?
• Report: Cowboys fine absent Owens $9,500

Yup, pre-season games are for the most part not indicators for the rest of the season,
but 41-0 equals trounced.
Skins QB right or wrong - not the problem here.
Everything Else Is.
Baltimore, KC and Cincinnati will shine this year,
AFC is the conference of the new Millennium !!!!

We're lulling...
...everyone into a false sense of security. 36 year old fragile starting QB's will be all the rage next year. You watch. Of course, ours will 37 by then. Gotta stay ahead of the posers and wannabes.
It's gonna be tough for both the Ravens and Bengals to shine. KC ain't got no picnic either with Denver, who I think will 'shine' and San Diego, along with the usual death matches with Oakland.

In the...
...Washington Times today...
Santana says pre season means nothing more to him than getting used to being hit again.
Randl El pointed out that the Steelers starters scored exactly 0 td's last pre season. They did OK the rest of the way out.

That's the stuff that annoys me...
...and gives me cause TO worry.
What, everyone else running their mid season offense in pre-season but us? No one ever seen his KC offense and therefore it's this BIG secret? We're gonna do something brand new week one and then never show it again the rest of the season, something BRAND NEW every week?
Not winning in the pre-season is all well and good; it, actually winning means NOTHING. It's HOW we are doing that worries me. Did the Steelers look this bad last preseason? Did we look this bad back in the day? I seem to remember Joe T and Riggo and company running off a half decent series or two and getting the hell out of there.
A well run NFL offense with great players is nearly unstoppable and that kind of timing and practice and repetition takes time and practice and PLAYING. Whatever it is every other team is doing this preseason, vanilla, chocolate and/or strawberry, our starting QB stats are second worst, ahead of only Chicago.
Is practice going SO well that everyone is just chomping at the bit to be let loose? If there is no cause to worry because it's all 'vanilla' then is it safe to presume that Brunell is ready to roll and therefore it might be a good idea to get the kid, Campbell, some 'vanilla' seeings how the only flavor he is up to speed on is college ball?
Are the Pats and Bengals and Jets telling themselves "You know, we'd have really trounced Washington if we hadn't held so much back" ??? They, NE, ran the same damn play to their TE like 10 times.
Did we play all the offensive starters almost three full quarters so we could see how everyone handles double teams and just let Brunell take some extra shots in the process?
Are we happy now that we know, running off tackle three times in a row, that TJ Duckett is SO much different a player than Sellers and Betts and Rock?
If preseason is just to see certain mysterious, vanilla things, why would Portis or Moss or Cooley or the starting line ever step on the field in preseason? If it's not bad to be completely stoned on offense in the pre season, why not let the 2nd teamers do it?
Did Cinncy wheel out the vanilla the other night for Palmer's first game back so they could ease into it?
Again, I don't care about losing 41-0 but there's 41-0 looking fairly good on the first team and 41-0 looking lost.
I'm a bit uneasy with this 'all is well' stuff.

We went to...
...Augustoberfest in Hagerstown Sunday and I got me a bigazz stine, must be 32 oz or more. Any bigger and I won't be able to see straight (or complain straight) come the Vikings.

The offense hasn't worried me at all. It's the weakassed way the Defense has been playing that worries me.

The first two weeks could very well be a plethora of orgasmic excitement for me.

You are more than welcome to join us. One of the guys is a cowboy fan, but not as obnoxious as most of them. The big question is this: Are you going to wear your Lavar jersey?BuddyLee said:I may come to join you if you don't mind. Let me know for sure.
Hopefully. Nothing like hearing them cheer up a storm, which hasn't been too much in the past years.

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with it now. It's brand new...sheesh out of all the jerseys a girlfriend could possibly pick.kom526 said:The big question is this: Are you going to wear your Lavar jersey?
I think I'll wear it from time to time, just around the house though.I actually have a t-shirt already set aside for cowgirl's games. It has a blown-up photo of Cooley clearing the path for another touchdown in the 35-7 victory last season.
