Pixote Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 We are going to see very little of our starters. I have been checking out games being played on NFL.com and I do not even recognize half of the players in the lineups in the 1st quarter. I think we will see, despite what Lovie has said, that we will not worry about the win as much as escaping with no significant injuries. I also noticed that the Patriots were losing in the 2nd quarter and that they have not won a game in the preseason either. Does that mean they suck? Preseason does not mean anything and those who are worried because we lost our first 3 games are not looking at the whole picture, IMHO.

Mongo3451 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 name='Pixote' date='Aug 28 2008, 06:46 PM' post='45257'] We are going to see very little of our starters. I have been checking out games being played on NFL.com and I do not even recognize half of the players in the lineups in the 1st quarter. I think we will see, despite what Lovie has said, that we will not worry about the win as much as escaping with no significant injuries. Agree that we should not see our starters long in this game. Why ever listen to what Lovie says? I also noticed that the Patriots were losing in the 2nd quarter and that they have not won a game in the preseason either. Does that mean they suck? Preseason does not mean anything and those who are worried because we lost our first 3 games are not looking at the whole picture, IMHO. First - the Patriots were 16-0 last year so they can do whatever they want in a pre-season game. Us not seeing a punter in the last 2 games does show signs of us sucking. Why, because going back to the Superbowl season, we can't get an opposing offense off the field. Cleveland crammed a 6 minute 60 yard drive down our starters throat to start the game. Followed up with a 70 yard 5 minute TD drive. Our D vowed to show some intensity and their words came up dryer than a popcorn fart. I guess they are saving it up for Manning, who owned them last time they played, as they are veteran and we should trust Lovie and the D when they say we have a good defense. It's not about W's and L's in the pre-season, it's about working the systems out and finding who your players are. Rant over. Here's to the regular season. I just hope the D finds some missing motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is the defense does not look good out on the field. They better step it up big time and soon or it will be a long season.
