Re your subsequent 1, 2, and 3:
I recognize that preseason is a means to fine-tool what was learned in training camp, and is designed to evaluate talent and determine who stays, and who is kicked to the curb. In the end, hopefully everyone realizes that the preseason win/loss record is meaningless.
However, GOOD teams who perform dismally in preseason possess an innate ability, when things count, to kick it up a notch or twelve and behave on the field like they care. (See GMScud's remark concerning the Colts.)
Other teams, who perform dismally (or marginally) during preseason, seem to have a knack for carrying their losing/"I'm here for the money, don't you know?" attitudes on to the field for the next seventeen weeks. (See GMScud's remark concerning Spurrier.)
The Colts belong to the former group, and the 'Skins, well, despite some notable exceptions thus far, are destined, I fear, to return to their old mentalities. We may have an improved attitude (just how much improved will become apparent over the course of the season), but the talent pool is woefully deficient, IMO. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but old habits - as defined by our prior seventeen-year performance - are hard to break.
I interpreted his inclusion of the Colts in his remarks as an invitation to draw a comparison between us and them; hence, my observation, "We are not the Colts".
There simply IS no comparison. And that was MY point.
