Excited for tonight - still seem surreal to hear people hyping this team after such a miserable run the last decade or so.
I'm trying to balance my expectations. We have a lot of new pieces, a tough schedule, and we had a lot of good fortune last year on the injury front that might not last this year. On the other hand, our run D should be better, which was a killer in our playoff loss last year, and hopefully Goff and the O should be in better shape after a year in the system. I also think our division is not as strong as in the last few years, at least based on yesterday's results.
Tonight will be interesting. I wonder if we'll be rusty from no preseason play, and if Gruden's familiarity with McVay will show. I'm looking forward to watching our LB play - could be 4 new starters there, if Barron can't go.
