We've never had a winning season in franchise history with a losing preseason record

Are preseason results more of a harbinger of things to come than people like to admit? Probably not and this is just a coincidence, but every time in franchise history that we've had a losing record in the preseason we've ended up with a losing record in the regular season.

Fox era

2008: 2-2 preseason, 12-4 regular season

2007: 1-3, 7-9

2006: 4-0, 8-8

2005: 2-2, 11-5

2004: 4-0, 7-9

2003: 4-0, 11-5

2002: 1-3, 7-9

Seifert era

2001: 2-2, 1-15

2000: 0-4, 7-9

1999: 2-2, 8-8

Capers era

1998: 2-2, 4-12

1997: 0-4, 7-9

1996: 2-2, 12-4

1995: 3-2, 7-9

Also, like it was mentioned last week or the week before, every time we've made the playoffs under Fox, we had won the third game of the preseason that year.

I had a hunch that was true.

History is made to be broken.

Prior to 2003 they had NEVER gone to the Super Bowl.

Based on what I'm seeing, they have 9-7 written all over them.

While i'll say that 8-8 isn't really winning or losing, Preseason winning records also seem to not conclusively correlate to the regular season.

That being said we must be screwed either way OH NO!!

We've only had 4 losing preseason records (2 under Fox), that's not exactly a large sample pool to make predictions from. 3 of our 4 best years have come after 2-2 preseasons. I don't think there's a huge indication from ONE more preseason loss, which is the difference between going 1-3 or 2-2.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
