Falcons starters looked great tonight - good test next week at Heinz

So did the skins look good

another positive, sepulveda really had a good game. kinda shitty thinking of it, one of the main bright spots was your punter lol.

but in all seriousness this is nothing to worry about. now if we're playing like this in the final week of preseason, then worry. there's still a good amount of time to get everything straightened out.

Just always remember that the Lions went 4-0 in preseason and then went 0-16 in the regular season lol.

I don't expect the greatest season ever, but I think they'll get most of the major kinks worked out.

Brown and Redman impressed tonight as well...keep it up guys!

I think the last time we went 4-0 we won the superbowl

I'm not worried about the passing game. Ike played a series (if that?), no Troy, no Harrison and a lot of the starters only played a series or two. It was 7-7 at half. Redskins starters versus our second string. It was ugly. But it wasour second string and the game was close the whole time.

If we play like this at Baltimore I'll be worried, but we're not.

Players that stood out to me: Antonio Brown, Cam Heyward, Isaac Redman, Daniel Sepulveda.

We can all agree that this was a sloppily played game. Gotta remember that the players are only coming off about 2 weeks of practice and have a ton of rust to shake off, didn't really seem like they wanted to be there though. Thursday's game's at home and I expect we'll see a fired up team in front of the home crowd.

It's safe to say there will be a lot of tackling drills in camp this week.

Overall, not much concern since we have a veteran clad team. They'll turn it around, be patient.

If I see Mewelde Moore get the ball and then get stuffed on another 3rd and short I am going to puke. Give Redman a real role this season...

Its obviously not winning or losing that matters in the pre season,does not mean $hit! Most pre season games I kind of look at the scoreboard after the first quarter or half...What does matter in a game like todays is individual play.Alot of lack luster play out there today and if I were the coaching staff I would be pissed!Im putting nothing on this game,just hope these guys get it together soon.Im hoping they dont come out of the gate really slow and have to make up ground later in the season!

I bet you there's an Eagles fan out there saying the same thing about our line backers

can't have pro-bowlers at every position

[ggoldman]

Too bad we couldn't see the rookie corners

I didn't get a chance to watch the game, it wasn't on up here, although i will pVR the game this afternoon and likely watch it tomorrow as I work today. Looking at stats it wasn't a good performance, however, it was the first pre-season game and I am sure a very vanilla defense. I see us 11-5 or 12-4 and winning the division, the only thing that will give me second thoughts on that is a stinker against the Ratbirds in September.
This is only the preseason and the coaches have a lot of guys to look at. If no one distinguishes themselves (like Dixon) then we move on.
We aren't doomed to 0-16 like the comments I have seen on other threads.
