First off, I think Chase is wrong here. The only winning there is in the preseason is escaping it with zero injuries to your starters. My team, the Chiefs, lost their top wide receiver for nearly the whole season in a meaningless preseason game last year. That's a huge loss for a game that means nothing.

If you ask me, they need to get rid of the preseason entirely.

Do this instead: Expand each roster by ten, add an extra bye week, and change the pre-season games over to regular season games instead.

I have to confess that I never really follow the pre-season.

So, does this meant that the main starters don't usually play in pre-season? If not, what's the point of them? I thought they were there to get players up to speed before the important games start?

I confess I'm coming at this from a football ⚽ point of view, where pre-season 'friendlies' are a very common thing, and where the top squad players will always have at least some involvement in matches. They may play only 60 minutes out of 90, but they're there.

I had no idea that football 🏈 was different in that regard!
