Wow, it's going to be a tough start, and a tough season.
I'm shocked how many people think that last year was on a balanced scale, and that we should naturally be at the top of the AFC again.
No, it's going to be a "crash back to earth" year. I think we'll be lucky to get 10 wins. That doesn't mean I'm a pessimist and a have no hope, that means I know how good the NFL is, and we're really going to see what this team is made of.
On the flip side - if we do make the playoffs, we'll be seasoned, tested and definitely earning our place there.
