Everyone is putting the Skins on the hot seat because of our preseason. I was wondering if a statistic has been compiled that shows the if a higher winning percentage in the preseason colerlates to a higher winning percentage in the regular season. To me that would be a bad stat, because the way we are losing in the preseason is worst than losing when your offense and D is playing well, but it still would be an interesting stat. So back to the question, does anyone know of a stat like that?

Well that is what I think the answer is, but if that is the case then the statistic should be around even about if a winning preseason percentage results in a winning percentage in the regular season.

i am not putting in faith in anything i have seen in the preseason. To many conspiracy theroies if you ask me.
Saunders said it himself,
"The last team here that went 0-4 was 1982, and their next 32 games after that, their record was 28-4," Saunders said. "So I'd like to look at the idea that preseason might not equate with success during the season. We're heading down the right path."

I could be wrong, but wasn't our preseason records for Joe Gibbs 3 SBs something like 0-4, 1-3, 1-3?

debates over.
It is not a debate, and I was referring to an overall stat for the entire NFL complied over years. That way it would be statistically significant, due to a larger sample size.

It is not so much the win loss record, most of the playing time is being done by players just trying to make the roster.
What is alarming is the starting offense has not been able to move the ball effectively at all. Now that is nothing to get overly concerned about because if you look at 2005, the Redskins came out a little cold, but really turned it up in the second half of the season.
The biggest concern is the health of the team coming into the start of the regular season. Everything else is just academic.
