[QUOTE="Steel Wheels, post: 11868, member: 237"] We will see how good the Packers look in pre-season. Don't forget pre-season is important. NFL preseason games are a good gauge for regular season success By Greg Dempson The very first nationally published article I wrote (in Winner's Edge magazine) contained a football quote by Bill Parcells, the master at winning and covering preseason contests. Parcells stated, "People who think preseason football is meaningless don't know anything about football." Preseason success is a remarkably accurate barometer in determining a teams' success during the regular season. Did you know that 30 out of the previous 39 Super Bowl champions (76.9%) won .500 or more of their preseason contests straight up? You do now! Since Super Bowl I, the 39 winning teams had a combined preseason margin of 116 - 68 - 2 or 62.3% straight up. Marv Levy was one coach who didn't take the preseason seriously; he had a losing record in three of the four preseason years that Buffalo advanced to the Super Bowl. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why the Bills went 0 - 4 straight up! Free agency and parity as well as salary caps have changed the way the game is played since 1993. When reviewing the past decade, I noted the following preseason records with regards to the past 11 Super Bowl champions. 1994 - the 49ers went 3 - 1. 1995 - the Cowboys went 2 - 3. 1996 - the Packers 3 - 1. 1997 - the Broncos went 3 - 2. 1998 - the Broncos went 3 - 1. 1999 - the Rams went 2 - 2. 2000 - the Ravens went 4 - 0. 2001 - the Patriots went 3 - 1. 2002 - the Buccaneers went 3 - 1. 2003 - the Patriots went 4 - 0. 2004 - the Patriots went 1-3 The past 11 Super Bowl winners produced a 31 - 15 or 67.3% preseason record and only the Cowboys (1995) and Patriots (2004) had a losing records in the preseason. Both the Cowboys and Patriots were defending Super Bowl Champions so they were able to overcome their poor pre-season records. [/QUOTE]
