Well...no they weren't. Jansen got hurt in the 1st preseason game last year and the line never recovered. Our O line is going to be very good. I didn't think the team as a whole looked very sharp, but it's one game and everyone was just poised to begin the bashing if we didn't put up 30 points. I saw this coming weeks in advance. NONE of it matters. Only thing I care about is Sept 11, week one, Redskins/Bears. When the bullets are live is when we'll really know what kind of team we have. I have a feeling that when the Washington Redskins march into Dallas on Monday night, week 2, our team will be frothing at the mouth and ready to put a smack down. Just a feeling... Keep the faith, gents and don't let a poor preseason suck all the air and enthusiasm out of you. Remember...these games, while showing us a little something, ultimately don't count.

I just remember hearing that and saying it all last preseason (he's hiding his offense, vanilla, etc) and then figuring out he wasn't hiding all that much

I agree though, i'm not gonna worry unless we look bad in the bears game, but there is at least a little credence in "you are what you are."

I watched the iggles game and mcnabb had no trouble passing to a bunch of no name waiver wire trash (against a steelers D that, admittedly, wasn't blitzing much). I understand ramsey isn't as good as mcnabb, but his receivers are better and the passing game didn't look half as good, so i'm hoping that they can get this on track like the protection did last week.

I NEVER want to see a 2 yard dump off when its 3rd and 5 ever again. The oline seems to have their part now, portis has been good even without any passing, but QB/WR/scheme still aren't there yet (though things like shotgun 3/4 wide etc have been added to help the scheme).
