We suck.  But hey its a work in progress right?  Or I think we just chose a bad preseason to have a bad preseason. 

The offense I will give a slight pass too as we are missing two major pieces in Smitty and Stewart and Moose did not play last night.  But the D had everyone but Kemo and I know that is a huge loss but it should not have been a devastating one and now it is looking that way.

My gut tells me this is going to be a long season one we'll look back and regret signing JP to 1 mil per game. This team has no depth. Even the starters appear weaker than Miami or NY, our O line looks smaller than the D line's we've played, our D line looks smaller than the O line's we've played. And I dont mind smaller if their flying around, but my eyes see guys who are going half-way and that generally translates to injuries. I see a lot of alligator arms and busted plays on both sides of the ball. Call it what you want: chemistry, attitude, let down from last year, the inability to win in back to back seasons - I see anywher from 4-12 to 6-10 where before i thought with the redonkulous schedule we'd go 9-7.

Good points SmallFish. I really hope they are just not playing hard because it's the preseason, but they played hard last preaseason so why wouldn't they in this one? I think we'll be better than 6-10, I'm thinkin somewhere along the lines of 8-8 to 10-6. But only because of Double Trouble and Smitty. The pass D will get exposed in week 1, and will have a tough year, but hopefully the D-Line will stiffen up. I think this year will show what kind of QB Jake is, he'll either be good or mediocre. The way the preseason has gone thus far combined with the end of last year, he looks less than mediocre. He can't seem to find the open man sometimes. Although he did complete 3 passes last night on 3rd downs, and he was with out Smitty and Moose. If we don't have a winning record, or atleast 8-8, Fox could be gone. Only time will tell.
