Just want to put this out there

The pre-season matters!

 

Yep. Might as well phone it in, lol.

in all seriousness, the pre-season last year sort of set the tone for the first half. I'd just like to see a little purposeful intensity this pre-season. We didn't see that in our 0-4 preseason last year. We were as flat as 3 day old Coke.

 

Preseason matters in terms of quality play , not so much in Wins and losses.
Although after going 0-4 last preseason we better get at least 2 wins this year or Steeler Nation may go crazy!

 

The preseason is huge this year with the youth movement we are currently transitioning to

 

They need to start making their statement tonight W or L... It does matter moving forward, these boys need it.

 

yes
the youth movement is key

this is why I'm taking the 3 pts tooo many players with toooooooooo much to prove
I have to start getting my feet wet in the betting on nfl games

 

It doesn't count technically but it is disconcerting seeing the DE's blowing by our LT's.

 

The positive: When the game first started and we saw the players that will get actual playing time. Looked good.

After that, the srubs look like what they are, scrubs.

 

And the WRs beating off the defensive backs

 

How do you gauge players performances against other competition? Preseason does matter.
Very important especially with a YOUNG team.

 

hope you didnt bet the kids college fund our you IRA ... guess you lost by a point... tuff one...lost on a missed 38 yd FG

HINES

 

we just need to go 2-2 in the PS ... win the 2 home games.. lose the two road games and it will be a fine PS 1-3 or 0-4 willl carry over to the reg season but i dont look ofr another 0-4 PS

HINES

 

LOL
no , just a little scratch.
did we just give this guy a new contract to kick field goals? ARRRGH lol


figured Tomlin would fer surely not let our team go 0-5 in preseason


guesss that 70 sumthin yard TD run was up the gut and he couldn't step into the way

 

MT seems to think different. he said so in the interview after halftime. he said the score does matter. winning sets the tone for winning. lots of work to do and we have a little distraction with buffalo coming in to practice. I hope they can get some individual time with some players. they need it. 1st team did look pretty good but again we need TD's when we get down there. I'd be much happier with 7 instead of 3 on a nice drive like that.

 

Same old offense still cant find the endzone, I would have kept them on the field until they scored a TD like Coughlin did with Eli, if tomlin thinks he is going to the super bowl he better get this team motivated very soon, and set the tone for a winning season before it's too late......

 

no, he actually said the score does matter on his way back to the sidelines after halftime when the sideline reporter said well the score doesn't matter it's pre season. he said oh yes the score does matter. he made a point to correct the reporter about that statement.

 

Pre season matters and winning sets the tone for winning. MT better have these players prepared
for opening day and pre season does just that
and WINNING a few games should be in the mix. Red Zone offense is critical, and should apply
to 1rst,2nd and 3rd teams.

 

Preseason = practice. Unless you're Iverson (and Martellus Bennett), practice matters. Therefore the preseason matters.

 

I agree the record doesn't matter in the push for the division title and playoffs. But I think there is also a valid argument that winning in the pre-season can create emotional or mental momentum for the regular season and alternatively losing in the pre-season can put teams in a rut. This will not happen every pre-season but I think it can have an effect at times.
