How are you feeling after the first preseason game?

[Louie]

I know it’s preseason, 27-0 still made me feel like:

[Smithers]

For a “new era” of football, this was disappointing.  We lost every single one on one battle. We lost both lines of scrimmage.  We lost gap control.  We got gashed in the middle of the field.  We ran zero creative route concepts.  We couldn’t open running lanes.  Etc.  

im very concerned, at least until Friday night.

It’s the preseason / 10…

[Cullenator]

OMG WE HAD A BAD PRACTICE!!11!!1!!!

 

 

[CLG]

it’s clear things are new.. I’ll say this, despite the defense looking weak against the run.. I thought they played really fast. Faster than I remember in recent years from preseason game 1.

Lol love the choice options. 
It will take a minute with this new staff plus many new faces to get everyone in sync. Let’s let our staff do their thing and see how much smoother we look in week 3/4 of preseason whichever we use for the dressed rehearsal. Honestly there will be some growing pains early in the season as well IMO.

We are not going to be great.  There are things to clean up---everything.  Hard to tell so far, but I would cut Jordan (OT) and Brown (OG) tonight.

And Matt Corral

I think many people's expectations were much higher than reality.

No doubt about that, someone was saying Super Bowl yesterday and that’s just silly talk

Not good to get shut out, but it’s still preseason. It’s about as basic as can be. If we look like this against Atlanta, I’ll be concerned. 

[Dorian Gray]

As long as we can escape preseason without any major injuries, I consider it a win. I trust the coaching staff to clean stuff up before the regular season. Tonight was garbo though, no doubt.

Preseason doesn't matter to an extent. However, if you look at preseason games as 1 on 1s, then you realize that we just lost every 1 on 1 for 60 minutes straight. Not a good look.

Concerned and worried is the same damn thing

I thought the same thing too until I looked it up lol. Here's the best thing I saw about how they're different...

"Being concerned is an adaptive and constructive way of thinking that really prepares you for life's challenges. Being worried, on the other hand, is a circular, destructive kind of thinking that leads to a life of stress, anxiety, or panic."

If I HAD to choose betweem the two I'd pick concerned, but I voted neither. If anyone is worried over a meaningless first preseason game with so many new and missing pieces (players/coaches/schemes/etc.) then they have a problem lol!

our offense looked bad against a defense that had been playing them all week.  not really concerned.
