Do you care if your team wins or loses in the Preseason?

Always nice to get a win, but it really comes down to seeing the young guys you need to step up doing well, right?

 

[IPostedWhat]

I think I know how Lions fans will vote.

 

[Vitamike]

Vote, then post your reasons to support your vote....

Oh don't forget to tell us who your team is....

 

[SonnyCID]

No, but I hope it matters to them.

Used to not give 2 shits… But since PIT was 0-4 last preseason and started off 0-4 in the regular season… I've grown a tad bit superstitious.

You don't want to be evaluating talent in the regular season. HS.

I'm just not sure your HC feels the same as you...

Overall it does come down to seeing younger guys step up. Evaluating the draft class is probably the biggest reason to watch the preseason.

 

[Cobiemonster]

I don't really care, as long as those players play well and show promise, I'm fine

 

[broncosmitty]

Don't care. Don't even care if guys play or not tbh. Barry never did.

The preseason and camp, where else you going to evaluate players that either make the roster or get cut? Same goes for position battles, if you got two players going after the same starting position, you need some thing to judge them by. Obliviously that could change as the season moves on, still...I love camp and preseason, I try not to get to high or to low on players and expections on team success, but you got to start some where.

Preseason games are just too small of a sample size to determine much on individual levels. What I think you can take from it is team approach and effort.

Camp is much different imo. Its a large sample size with lots of specific, hands on training and coaching. If a guy looks great throughout camp, its a good chance it can translate to the regular season.

Pre season is about player evaluation and staying healthy, now if you have a new QB or a new system then its about getting familiar with that in a game time situation and getting guys in sync etc etc. Backups and bubble players are the only ones that should be going all out in these games cause they are fighting for roster spots.

I agree.

There is more importance in practice/workouts/camp than there is in limited playing time during exhibition games. As I thumb this out MNF turns to yapping heads yapping about a mythological QB controversy.

Well, I did say preseason and camp and that is how I look at it.

 

[bksballer89]

All I care about is how the first team offense/defense look. I could give a shit about the result when the 2nd/3rd string are playing half of the game at least in every game except the 3rd preseason game

 

[Destroydacre]

No. The games matter but the results don't.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

I like to see progress especially with a young team. If they lose no biggy but winning is always nice to see.

 

[Xponentialchaos]

The score doesn't matter. It's about evaluating individual talent to see who can contribute and who can't.
