Gugny Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Howard, I think I've told you this before, but my dad is a retired postal carrier. They do not get the respect the deserve and they are, indeed, veterans. So thank you for your service, kind sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mramefa Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I plotted preseason vs regular season win percentages for 2018, and it really shows how poor of an indicator the preseason record is. Less than 1% of the variation in regular season win percent can be explained by the teams preseason records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 ^^ quote gugny I’m sure he’s a good man and he knows how important it is to be prepared, on time, accuracy, work hard and dedication. I learned that in my 50+ years of service (except when me and Jules Moriarty spilled a pitcher of beer at the old Deerhead Inn and we had to use napkins to wipe it off the floor because there was no ***** mop). Tell him “Post-ahhhh!!” for me. He will know what I mean. ^^^ quote nrenegerito all your fancy flow charts and diagrams tell me one thing - our world is in more trouble than a hooker at Sunday mass. What’s wrong with winning pre season and keep winning. Softer than my satchel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it means much more and i’m thinking it shows we can beat most any team. During the regular season you will only have 53. So,37 of those guys dont mean much in those 4 preseason games.Seriously,it depends on things like rotation ,how much your seconds play against seconds,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I actually love watching preseason games. I love seeing the bubble guys fighting for a spot, or even just recognition, trying to keep their NFL dreams alive. I also like seeing the coaches experimenting with various positions, and schemes, and the evaluation process. We got to see Christian Wade take it to the house. I was wondering how Senorise Perry would look in a game, and I got to see that. I wouldn't at all be surprised if we did go 4-0 for the preseason, just on the depth of our defense alone. IMO, our second string defense is a good, or better than the bottom third of the league's first string defenses. Word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoho Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Howard! Is that you? We had some good times at the Playtime Lounge on Bailey Ave. and you delivered mail to my house on Dartmouth for some 22 years before we moved to the suburbs. Jeanette and I always joked that out third child looked like the mailman. If so, you have 5 grandkids. Remember when we rolled the keg into the end zone at the Rockpile. I could hoist it on my shoulder back then. Glad to hear you are still alive and kicking 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Preseason record means nothing anymore. Heck, the final game will feature a bunch of guys who will be working at a gas station by Monday morning. But...more important is how the first string performs on their opening drives. They need to put the ball in the end zone to raise their confidence level going into the opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Howard must be walking the mall this morning. Seems he was up late pondering the best way to go undefeated in the Pre-season.

Winning beats losing, but there’s no predicting based on the first 4 fake games. You just proved the OP's point. If we had gone 4-0 that preseason, we definitely would have won that SB.
