The Dark Before The Dawn

Yes, might as well get those stinkers in before the season starts and the games count. It's good to have all the warts exposed now, so the team has time to correct them.

I didn't watch the game, but why in the world would M3 only run the ball 4 times?

Thats the $64,000 question.

Cause we need to work on our passing game more? I didn't see the game but from what I hear, we have a case of the drops and protection issues to work out. Remember, we're not actually trying to WIN these games...

So are you telling me the running game doesn't need work? If you are, I have some swampland in New Jersey to sell you.

There is nothing extra cautious about this approach. This is the standard operating procedure of every team in the league.

MM's always been extra cautious with the pre-season injuries. If trhis was a real game, I would bet most would have suited up.

I'm having a flashback to Vick being lost for the season because of an injury in a pre-season game.

Yellow streak: Penalty-plagued Packers pummeled, 30-6

Aug. 24, 1996

Its happened before fellas, calm down.

That was the 4th exhibition game of the season, not the second. By the time the last exhibition game rolls around each preseason the starters are usually gone after the first series. I wouldn't advise anyone to take solace in what happened back then.
