Why panic in preseason we stunk it up last year in case y'all forgot
We lost 24-18 17-3 40-20 14-3 so yea shut up with the whining we'll be fine

The better teams never show their hand in preseason so wait until week 3 before your evaluation of the team

Yeah, we're not firing on all cylinders yet, but there is definitely cause for concern. After all, preseason is at least partly for personnel evaluations, and I'm feeling too good about depth at RB. TE and WR are also a concern, especially without Moore.

Most concerning is Palmer. Of course, everyone insists Palmer is perfectly suited to meet the physical demands of this system, e.g., rolling out more, and executing naked bootlegs off play-action. But, I always felt that was mostly wishful thinking. I hope Knapp and D.A. will use this time to evaluate what Palmer can and cannot do, and they will adjust accordingly.

So, I agree: There's no cause for panic. We're not going to magically click. People forget that preseason games come after only a couple of weeks of camp. This is a new offense with a zone blocking scheme. Our guys need a chance to gel.

Whoever is Panicking .... Sit Down and Shut Up !!!

Seriously. We're going to be fine. We should save the sky is falling threads till after the opener. If we get killed then we can stir up some concern. Until then it's just guessing and overvaluation.

man if I see another damn naked boot call without setting the $hit up first I'm going to throw up.

Who's panicking?

I'm panicking about all these damn injuries. Our 3 starting receivers, backup QB and back up RB. Not to mention all the injuries on D. This sux

I believe that Art Shell and the B&B offense had a 4-1 preseason record..... looking good in preseason is nice, but it doesn't seem to be much of a predictor of how the regular season will shake out.

This team has some legitimate concerns. If you choose to use the preseason as an excuse for them I highly suggest that you think of a new excuse for once the season begins. I am tired of people simply saying "its preseason" and not even addressing some of the problems.

The best thing about pre-season is that even with 2 forgettable perfomances we are still tied for first place in the NFL! Its just pre-season people evaluate health and people struggling to make roster and starter positions, that is about all it is good for.

It's going to be a long week on this board. Let the carnage begin.

**Palehorse** · 08-18-2012, 12:00 PM

Its insane. Do people have no common sense...wait I know the answer to that.

THE LIONS WENT 4-0 IN THE PRESEASON THE YEAR THEY WENT 0-16!

When we start 0-4 then start bitching. Until then get over the grudges and be a fan.
