But is preseason not somewhat of an indicator of how a team will do in the regular season?


Not particularly. The first half(sometimes only the first quarter) of game 3 of the preseason is usually the best thing to look at if you want to see how the first team is likely to perform, and then it may advisable to still take it with a grain of salt.

Much of this is dictated by how much personal decisions are left to be made for both teams in that game 3 contest. Game 1 & 2 are all about margin players and alignments of reserve and rotation positions for the regular season. Game four is about marginal players who make the end of the roster or the practice squad and giving guys an opportunity to show themselves.

All this assuming this was a legit question.

I think preseason can be a good time to see what coaches do with adjustments if things aren't working on defense. The issue is too many bodies are moving in and out that it can make that a bit difficult.
