On one hand, I remember teams like the 2008 Lions dominating in the preseason and going 4-0 and say, it is preseason and many times not a reliable indicator of regular season performance.


On the other hand, I remember our 2008 squad getting manhandled by the Dolphins and even John Clayton asked what was wrong in preseason. And many people said don't worry, but in hindsight it was indeed a portent of the problems that would plague the team that year.


So honestly, not sure what to think. I will say it's concerning, and I will also say you don't fire a coach over preseason. I don't think even the worst front office (c.f. Browns) has done that. We'd literally be the laughing stock for the league for years to come. This regular season is Gus' last chance whether you think he deserved it or not
