I would be concerned about preseason if Gunther was concerned about preseason.

This is not blind acceptance of whatever Gunther does. I have made my doubts about him quite clear. This is an acknowledgment of the fact that what I think about preseason doesn’t matter. Personally, I think we should put more emphasis on timing with the starters and less on player evaluation, but Gunther disagrees. Since he is HC and I am not, his vote counts.

As long as Gunther sees preseason as a time to evaluate personnel and shrugs at questions about wining, then there is no sense in getting excited over preseason losses. If we suck in preseason and then shine in regular play, Gunther’s POV will be vindicated. If we suck in preseason and go on to suck in the first regular season game [see Chicago, 1999], then perhaps Gunther will change his mind about preseason.

Until that time, I waste none of my precious fretting time over a win or loss in preseason. I reserve my fretting for our pass rush.
