Basically we've tied two games.

Yeah, its preseason and so who cares, and no, I'm not hitting the panic button. I just think its strange. Any thoughts on that?

I have one:

When you score more points than your opponent, you win 99.9% of the time.

That is all.

I'm not saying "Oh we suck! boo hoo hoo!"

I'm saying its weird to win back to back games by a single point each. No one else finds that strange?

What I mean is that in the regular season the other team wouldn't have gone for the 2 pt conversion, which would have tied the game in regulation.

We've basically played our two preseason games to a draw.

I'm not calling for panic. It's just an observation.

Yeah, it's unusual. I know it's only preseason, but I have to say the two one-point victories have been underwhelming.

It's preseason man. Not every team opens up their playbooks. In fact, no team does.

not really....I find it more strange that you think it's strange that we're 2-0 in this years pre season just because they were one point games....
