Yeah, people need to realize that the Colts really don't try that much during preseason. I take more out of that one series against the Pittsburgh first-teamers than anything we do against the Colts tonight. Although, I would like to see the Skins do well.

absolutely right, it must be pretty much the same thing every year because we're excited to have football again, and maybe this year with all the offseason drama and changes in the team people are going even more crazy

I'll remind everyone again that the Lions had a 4-0 preseason the year they went 0-16 in the regular season.

That Lions preseason had three games in which they faced their fellow bottom-dwellers that season: Bungles, Bills, Browns. The Giants were their only quality competition, and they barely squeezed that one out.

i tell ya though, its feels good to watch them get steam rolled

Dang, I missed the game. I cut on NFL Network and ESPN and saw no games so I figure none on. Late I switched over to FOX to see the game was just about over. I'm not missing the game tonight and that's all that matters.

The final score doesn't matter in preseason. But performance of the players does. If Trent Williams was getting blown up by some 2nd stringer or Rex Grossman somehow couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, then one should be concerned.

Exactly. When I see our players, especially the younger guys, winning their one on one battles and putting forth an effort that shows they give a s**t it gives me hope. I'm seeing some hustle out there and I LIKE it!

You have to keep everything in perspective. It was preseason and yes some teams only keep their starters out for 1 or 2 series, but I'm actually happy MS did what he did keeping the 1st string out so long. There was no OTA or no formal ones so by keeping them out MS was not only able to judge their performance but they were able to try and work on playing as a unit and were able to learn the blocking better. What I would have hoped to see is this week the starters staying out again for a whole half, then in preseason wk3 they could stay out for 3 quarters. Then the last game the starters could play 1 or 2 series and then evaluate all the newbies for the rest of the game. This would build cohesiveness and their endurance for the first game

I still think the eagles will be really good this year, and that we will beat them

Agreed.

Tonight's the night Redskins Nation wakes up to the awesomeness that is Kellen Clemens.

But really though, I think we're going to win by two TDs tonight...and it won't really mean a thing

I believe a certain Manning fellow is the reason why. He doesn't need much preseason time.
