Saunders' post practice comments--good stuff

I think we are fooling ourselves if we think that this offense is making progress. If your planning and execution is good in preseason then the regular season execution will be good also. That is something that we have not seen so far. This B.S. about "we are getting things done" in the preseason is just that. When you do something early-on in preseason and see how things work effectively then nothing will be a surprise. The effort is just not there. I'm sure that the coaches are not just sending our guys out there to be embarrassed in preseason.

You guys must think that this is some kind of rope-a-dope huh? Not likely. These guys have bought into the off seaso hype, and think that they are contenders for the super bowl. Well they are finding out now that the rest of the NFL don't think so. Note to our team: You had better wake up and put your game face on and come up with better effort.

Why is it so hard to believe that the coaches are treating preseason like practice?

Because theres nothing better to do :argue:

because we have to pay full price for tickets to the game or sit through just as many commericals on TV

I was watching Comcast Sports tonight and heard ARE mention that last years Steelers first team offense did not score at all in the pre-season. He's right. Even though they had a 3-1 record, their points were scored by the defense and special teams. Their season turned out fairly well.

Keep the faith!

Go back and read the PDF.

Yeah, while watching the Bengals game, my wife mentioned how the Skins were "losing" and I said it didn't matter because this was a "practice game" to see who makes the team. (trying to speak to the football illiterate)

All is well. No worries. I just hope Portis keeps dressing up.
