I know it’s preseason…

I know it’s the last preseason game, but Young probably needs to play several more series. He needs the reps. I’m surprised he didn’t play the whole first half yesterday honestly. 

Newton had an awful preseason three performance in preseason three (back when that game mattered more). Then his preseason four footprint was one good series, after which the staff said "we've seen enough".

It worked out okay.

Can't wait for the razzle dazzle week 1.

It's just the preseason, it's just the preseason. And we've all been waiting for a long time for the bad days to be over. We got a new coach (and staff) to begin anew. We mortgaged the future to grab the first pick in the draft and hopefully snag a new franchise QB.

We were all hoping to see something good out there. And we haven't so far. And it can be really disappointing. 

But it's just the preseason. These games don't matter.

I just wish we were seeing something to make us feel like when the games matter, we'll be there and be competitive.

Well said. The we will make the playoffs crowd has now become the it’s just preseason and it was silly of us to think we might make the playoffs even if we were one Horn away last year with worse talent.

It is just preseason and doesn’t matter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t watch our play and not feel as good as we did a couple weeks ago.

We just wanted to see something.

We haven't seen anything good yet.

Really.

But, what we want to see and what the coaches need to see might not intersect at this time. The frustration is real, as is the evaluation.

Come weeks 1-3 we'll know a lot more about this. Sure hope it looks better, though.
