yeah, but Campbell only completed 3 passes. CP has 0 yds. Moss couldn't get open. And and and ...

I still predict we are gonna beat the NYG opening day!!!

The Lions won their first game. They were UNDEFEATED last year in preseason.

End of discussion.

I guess I'm wondering how all the folks saying "calm down, it's just the preseason" would be acting if our offense came out and lit it up against the Ravens. My guess is the majority wouldn't be calm at all. We'd probably be 16-0 already. It goes both ways.

On a side note, the Giants first teamers looked pretty damn good last night. They ran roughshod over a Panthers D with Peppers, Gamble, etc all in the game. And their D was all over the Panthers QBs. I think their receiving game is going to be a work in progress with all those young and inexperienced guys, but it would really be nice to see our starters march down and score like theirs did, even if it is "just the preseason."

No, if we won 23-0, I'd still be saying "it's still preseason".

If preseason meant anything, Colt Brennan would be the reigning NFC Offensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Super Bowl MVP.

Like many on this board, I'm still mostly concerned about the Skins offense and it's inability to score points. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see where the Skins improved their offense from last year. Hopefully, after having a year under Zorn, Campbell can be more consistent and make a lot more plays. Hopefully, these young receivers who seem to be constantly injured will actually prove to be good/great. Otherwise, Portis is great but a year older and Betts never seems to be consistent. Opponent defenses can cheat so much towards the line of scrimmage, it's no wonder Portis takes such a beating.... the offense has to spread the field better so the other team's defense has to play honest. Also, if the offense continues to hand over a short field to the opponents offense most of the time, it's gonna be a long year. This first game against the Giants will tell us a lot.....
