The Lions went 4-0 in the preseason in 2008.

they had an amazing regular season as well, so yes, definitely a direct correlation between preseason and regular season success.

Essentially, what the data is trying to tell you is that while a winning preseason record isn't indicative of success during the regular season, a poor preseason can reveal thaty trouble is ahead.

Struggling right now. Lasik consultation today so I've had to wear glasses for the last two days. I never wear glasses out of the house. Probably the first time in a decade at least. This poo sucks. It's way different than contacts.

I had Lasik a couple years ago.  Next to marriage and kids, was the biggest life changing event I've ever had.  Couldn't be more pleased with the decision.

Let me be brutally honest - I hate the Falcons. It was a joy to watch them fold like a card table during SB51. With that said, I also think they were pretty decent last year. Not as great as they think they were, but they came pretty damn close to winning a SB before we did. I know it's irrational, but it's the one thing I want the Panthers to do before they do.

The Falcons should be very concerned. Not winning at least one game in preseason, while not automatically disqualifying, is not a good sign that you've woke the F up after that devastating SB loss. In fact - I think this will be in the back of their minds going in to the season.

Personally,I think they are already toast. I pray they are. I hate them that much. Screw 'em.

You'll love it...I had Lasik 9 years ago...still 20/20 in both eyes.

Title is misleading. "No SB Winner/Loser Has Ever Had A Losing Preseason Record The Past Nine Years" 

Should either be ever, or "No SB Winning Team from the Past 9 Seasons has a Losing Record in Preseason"

Yeah my only interest in this thread was the misusage of ever. 

 

In other news, No team from the AFC South has won the Super Bowl in the past 9 years. This is equally useful information.

It's kinda interesting but the reason it's odd number 9 years back is because in 2007 the Giants went 1-3 in preseason, 10-6 in the season, wildcard berth and won the super bowl...

And beat probably the greatest team of all time.  I don't like the Giants, but damn I respect 'em.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
