I don’t disagree with anything you have said, but that doesn’t change the reality of the bolded statement when comparing today’s games 1-4 of the regular season with the Preseason games of 20 years ago.

No, there remains a huge difference.  These games count in the standings, the preseason games did not and still do not.  Therefore using them for the purpose you just claimed is a very high risk proposition.  The only risk in doing that in the preseason is injury, not digging a hole in the standings.

KC might be in trouble today.

QB play across the league has regressed badly.

Eh...  I'd say the Chiefs have been playing tougher opponents, and that wins and losses are more team statistics, than QB statistics.   But sure.  That doesn't mean Hurts has been good, just that Mahomes has been worse.

And Burrow and Allen.

Early in the season, you just want to stay healthy and stack wins. Style points don't matter at all.

 

Dumb call Doug.

Colts are a sneaky player in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes.

You are thinking conceptually.  Unfortunately that concept has fallen victim to a competing actuarial concept for dealing with liability risk.

Patriots and Vikings defenses are tougher than the Lions and Jaguars defenses.

Burrow looks like trash. Holy crow.

Minshew is the QB the Jets should try to trade for.

A lot of ticky-tack calls this week

Joe Burrow with 67 yards in the first half.  Now has an impressive 149 passing yards through 1.5 games so far this season.

Never saw the Tostitos commercial before of Micah Parson literally cucking some dude. Him and Cox would make a great team.
