    They are irrelevant as to who is on top at the end of the regular season and playoffs.

    How many times do you see a team go undefeated or 3-1 in the preseason only to go 5-11 or 6-10 in the regular season?

    The Denver Broncos seem to get a preseason game with Arizona every year. The Broncos lose nearly every time. In regular season play the Broncos have played Arizona 10 times and won 8 games. The Cardinals won 1 game.

    Preseason is to get the players in condition to play and to access which veterans don't have it anymore and which rookies will get on the team. The first preseason game isn't much more than a controlled scrimmage where many vets don't play and most play very little.

    No, because during the regular season Drew Brees puts up 50 points on the Browns with seven touchdowns to no-name wide receivers. He could throw to me in all my utter lack of athleticism and somehow still manage to put up five to seven TDs a game, dude is magic

    I should have clarified, that's not unique to the Browns. Drew Brees dismantles every team that way. Unfortunately for the Saints, Matt Ryan also found a way to put up 50 points a game for the Falcons

    I'm hoping that the Seattle Seahawks are back to their super bowl form.
