I remember those 6 preseason games also.
The question is, when did the starters ever play any extended time during the preseason, even as far back as those 6 game preseason schedules?
They have always played into the second half in a couple of weeks before the start of the regular season and that has always been the only extended playing time for starters.
The fans have always known they don't get extended playing time.
It's just that fans these days must have instant gratification, and the preseason isn't gratifying to the impatient society that we now live in.
