Default One week

First preseason game is in a week, so I thought I'd ask what you all are expecting to see in a week. I'll start:

In a week, we will all be pining for meaningful football with Luck at QB.
In a week, activity on this board will come back to life.
In a week, we will see that Pagano is still inept.
Ina week, we will still have gloom-and-doom posters over-react to a pre-season loss and declare us out of the playoffs and fighting for the #1 pick.

What have you got?

I am most anxious to see how Hooker and Wilson look, along with Vontae Davis.

We really won't be able to tell much about the offense with Scott Tolzien or whoever at QB. But the defense and the secondary in particular has the most potential to make great improvement with those two picks.

Does anyone here still overreact to preseason games? I don't remember.

I expect to see a productive dline. I think we are should be solid at every unit there.

I expect our Olbers will be terrible.

I expect pagano to clap a lot

I'd say your right on the doom and gloom fire Pagano

I'll go with the good. .

1. Tolzien actually plays good
2. O-line will look good
3. Hooker will shine

the bad. . .

1. The cut Dorsett thread will begin
2. Edwin Jackson will outplay Morrison

I predict

The good:
Andrew will return healthy and performing well but not til game 3
Ballard will fire Pagano at the end of the season regardless of the W/L record
Vontae will shine due to it being a contract year
Hooker will perform well
The online will demonstrate that their performance in the last 4 games wasn't a fluke and will be at the middle of the pack by year end

The bad:
McClappy will have Frank on a pitch count for the whole season to save him for the playoffs rendering our offense as predictable as it's been the last few years.

The ugly:
We will make Blake Bortles look like a football god in at least one game
We will make whoever the hell is throwing the ball for Houston look like a football god in at least one game


Sorry. Just realized the thread was predictions for the first game. Obviously mine are predictions for the wHole year.

I predict:
There won't be much of a passing game with Luck out
The Oline will look better and open holes for the RBs
Marlon Mack will look good/explosive
The defense will be a work in progress
The kicking game won't be nearly as good as years past

For preseason week 1:

Bad:
It won't be pretty on either side of the ball.
Expect bad QB play
Expect no pass game and a soft run game
Expect more than a few bad angles from the LBers.

Good:
It's only preseason week1
