TEXANS @ COWBOYS (preseason)

You'll have to ask him.

 

Nice pick 6

 

I was mad they took away the safety, but 6 > 2 so I am happy.

you are correct sir.

24-13 vs. 49ers
16-9 vs. Saints
34-24 vs. Cardinals
28-17 vs. Cowboys

4-0

 

I'm pretty sure the Lions went 4-0 in the preseason then 0-16 in the regular season before lol

 

Seahawks went undefeated in preseason the year they won the Super Bowl.

Ultimately it doesn't mean anything.

 

Granted but, uhm... doesn't your example sorta undermine your point?... Just seemed like a weird one to pick - I'm sure there are lots of 0-fers or undefeated preseason teams that won/lost once it counted that would have been better examples than, "Seahawks went undefeated and won the Super Bowl - see? Preseason means nothing."

 

He simply means anything can happen during the preseason and that it has no relevance to the actual season. I mostly agree with it, though I believe there is a lot you can discover during the preseason.

 

Cowboys backups are really bad. I would cut the whole lot of em if possible.

Showers played himself out of a job in my book. Too bad.

 

Cowboys may call him. He's a better option than Showers and knows our offense.

 

like when Josh Smith said "our ceiling is through the roof"

 

They shouldn't cut Mumph

 

My point was that most people show the examples of teams winning in pre-season and not doing anything as proof of some bad omen when you win in the pre-season. The poster before me mentioned the Lions going undefeated in the pre-season the year they went 0-16. A lot of people will point to the Colts glory years and how badly they performed in the pre-season. I'm showing the opposite in the pre-season to demonstrate that the record doesn't matter.

What matters in the pre-season is what you learned about your players and I think we learned a lot of good things. We didn't go 4-0 because we were out there scheming our way to victory.

 

I understand that, and I know justtxyank is a highly-competent poster. But Seattle going 4-0 in the preseason and then winning the Super Bowl is NOT an example of the preseason having no relevance on the actual season.

 

Please take the example in context.

Detroit went 4-0 in the preseason and went 0-16 in the season.
Seattle went 4-0 in the preseason and won the Superbowl.

Preseason records are not predictive despite the usual drumbeat that winning in the preseason is actually a bad thing. You will hear on talk radio, I'm sure for example that Sean Jones & Adam Clanton + Chronicle John Lopez will make fun of them today for going 4-0 in the preseason.

 

Spoiler

 

I called it.

Sean jones making fun of the Texans for going 4-0. Trying too hard to win he says like trying to date a hooker.

 

When you don't have radio talent, you go with hot takes instead. It's a tried and true formula.
