I love it when "Dream Teams" fail!!

Preseason or not, Vick looked horrific last night. He better get his eyes on straight, his reads were beyond terrible. On the flip side, the Steelers looked much improved from last week in effort and actually looking like they wanted to be there.

Yes, I know it's only pre-season, but my Skins have been impressive against 2 talented teams. Held the Colts to only 150 yards of offense and just a 55 yard field goal from shutting them out. 901 yards of offense in 2 games vs 317 yards given up. There's finally real hope that the last 20 years of mostly disappointing teams have finally come to an end.

I never count on the preseason to tell me how the regular season will go. I have seen too many teams (my teams and others) go undefeated in preseason only to struggle to get to a 8-8 regular season, and several teams go 2-2, 1-3 or even 0-4 in the preseason and dominate in the regular season.

Don't mind me, just going for #4 this season.

No No No he was hammered! Lucky my golf buddy had watched it also and confirmed

But I'm sure he suffers with worse, he was praising Detroit.

I'm right there with you, Brian. Packers didn't do so hot last preseason and they ended up doing OK. Honestly, if the Pack wins or loses in preseason I couldn't care less.

That's fine when you have a good team. You can go 0-4 or 1-3 and know it means nothing when the regular season starts. But when you're a bad team, you have to do well in the pre-season to turn the losing mentality around.

Still doesn't work. Few years ago the Steelers went undefeated in preseason and stunk up the regular season. The preseason is not meant to be a gauge for the regular season. It's meant to find out who is going to make the cut.

Both true, but it's the one thing that will get me to watch a game in the pre-season.
