    There is nothing more worthless than preseason football to gauge how good a team will or won't be.

    I think that crap teams that are desperate to prove they aren't crap do well in the preseason. 0-16 lions went 4-0 preseason.

    Good teams just try to get through preseason. I remember one of the good manning colts teams went 0-4 in preseason.

    I'm not worried about it. Would like to see us get Davis and decker back though.

    A few things.

    Pre-season means nothing....sort of. Sure the records don't count but who wins is also not indicative of how well the starters do either. I believe in the Bills run to SB after SB...one year they went 4-0 and another year they went 0-4. So record really does mean nothing.

    What is disconcerting is how our starters are looking from 1v1 matchups to poor group play (OL) to lack of discipline (Lewan, Spain, outside contain in the front 7 on D). Lackluster effort vs Jets and Bears. One might write this last thing off as...it's just pre-season, but we saw it kill our playoff hopes last year vs the Jags where they came out as the team WANTING to win and we came out merely as a team expecting to win simply by showing up. The additional factor to that is coaching. Mularkey said he had a bad feeling leading up to the Jets game and yet did nothing about it...and he's not really a high motivational coach to begin with. Not good!

    For all of our talent, we need to get the most out of each and every player. That is one of the overlooked aspect of NE. Part of it is tactical - putting players in positions to succeed. And the other part is motivation! You don't wanna bring your A-game...bye!

    Special teams is one area that looks much improved...especially at coverage (minus the punt block) and I'm expecting some big things from Adoree! And the defense should play better with an improved secondary if the front 7 can do what they did last year vs the run and similar QB pressure.

    Right now the offense looks a bit out of sync. We had penalties and mixups and stupid stuff messing up our drives. And Conklin better start working on it right now...people are gonna be licking their chops to bullrush him this season.

    Mariota also sailed a lot of passes and that typically happens due to footwork, pressure close in front of where you're throwing, and pressure at your feet stopping you from stepping thru (back to footwork). Mariota had all those going on and threw some away too. We are not a team yet that can have our run game shut down and give up pressure on Mariota with only rushing 4. That may change with Decker and once Davis is healthy and comfortable...but until then, we have a lot of work to do!

    As someone who has coached football, watching a team come out flat and undisciplined sends red flags up. If we see this happen during the regular season again and again we do poorly in division, it will spend the end of Mularkey I think. But if we can live up to our potential, we can win this division and be a team that improves as the season goes on.
