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.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
