But talk alot of shit about us.,

We just need to show that we dont suck, plain and simple. The 1st teams on O and D need to show that they have progressed and are prepared to win games.

I really don't think its so much about WINNING, as it is about playing well. I mean as long as we play pretty well for the first half, than we know were in good shape, and a win dosent really mean a whole lot (I guess it could be different for the 3rd preseason game)....but if we go out there and get smacked 41-0 like we did last year, or outscored 14-0 with our starters in and then make it not look so bad with our 4th stringers, thats a wayyy different story...

I dont think the preseason "wins" are somthing you really can boil down and say...its successful if this, this and this happen. I think you see the game and you can pretty much tell from there. I dont expect us to be GREAT tommarow, but I would like to see a team that is playing together, moving hte ball and stepping it up on defense.

Yes, exactly. Just don't look like complete poop -- that's all I'm asking.

Isnt that what were ALL asking? LOL

Right. None of us want that.

I keep wondering what my opinion will be if we get walloped and shellacked or something. If the starters do nothing but go 3 and out, while Gramps and the Fat Man (Griffin and Salave'a) get trampled up the gut, that's when the fecal matter hits the rotary device on this site.

Man lets just had the Starting D not let them score at all or let them at least hit 3 points.

no one gets hurt. the offense moves the ball and actually scores. The defense stops the run and stop the titans on 3rd down. Maybe a pass rush. But i dont want to be greedy.
