My point is about depth. We are far less vunerable to injury now because the dropoff is less dramatic that it usually has been....and regarding Spurrier...he has his 1's against 2s and 3s...and the ones were guys like Danny Wuerfull, guys that no other team would carry. And Shannahan aint on rookie coach like him or Zorn...he has won Superbowls. Take a look at penalties...3?...really? for scrubs?...that is really outstanding, execution was there, I liked the way they ran at the end to get film on the linemen and the FB and to create cohesion. So I am not super excited, but after a preseason you can generally make a good guess of their record...this is a 6-10 or 7-9 team right now. We lack a solid secondary and a solid Oline. At least having one of those solid is essential for winning, unless you have a hall of fame QB or something, which we do not.

Totally hear you man. Agree with every thing you say. My only concern about preseason is they got through it healthy. Our ones looked good against the colts but whose dont? Our ones did not look good against chicago. I hear you on depth and discipline. Im not calling you out for dreaming big - as a matter of fact i think you are selling us short on 6 or 7 wins. I could see this team winning anywhere from 4 to 12??? Really. So much depends on injuries or lack there of , etc. i think my reaction to your post was more of a " hey dont jinx us". Lol. Oh and as far as having a hall of fame qb - we might?
