I’m really trying to get excited. I just can’t get over last season

That playoff game took a large chunk of my football soul. I dont think this a bad season but there's plenty of time to be proven wrong.
In 2019 and to this day I say that team overachieved. No one will one will convince me we didn't fall flat on our face in dogshit last year.

Last season is why I'm excited. We had those motherfuckers on the ropes and let them off.

Ditto. As long as we stay healthy and make the playoffs, I'm curious to see how this team redeem themselves from last season.
He was cool till he started starter talking so much! He forcing it.. he sounds so fake whenever he tries to talk shit lol
I think we are gonna win but i also thought that last seAson lol. We still are in a lose lose situation though. We lose, “ raven cant beat mahommes”.. we win, “ cant win in the playoffs. Theyre a regular season team”

I don't think this will be a bad season but I don't expect it to be as good as last year. I think we all knew going into last season, that the cap cycle was leading us to a relatively down 24 in comparison to 23 and, hopefully, 25.
It's the fact that most of our O Line has the same weakness that worries me.
Even at his best, Ronnie wasn't a power player, and we've seen his struggles anchoring since he returned.
The knock on Linderbaum was always 'undersized' and, even now that he's great, you still wouldn't call him a power player.
Vorhees has been pushed back quite a bit in preseason and it was Rosengarden's anchor that saw him falling to 62 despite great feet and technique.
(That might explain why, despite everything, they seem so keen to have Faalele in there, for a bit more mass.)
I just don't think a team can reach its ceiling if the O line can be pushed around.

The Bengals in 2020 and Chiefs of last year never at any point looked as dominant as the 2019 or 2023 Ravens teams , in fact they looked downright bad at times, and they went to the Super Bowl. We just need to make the playoffs and go on a run. We have great players on both sides, we can win it all if we just play like we’re capable of in the playoffs

Of course. 2011 was better than 2012, but they got hot. Maybe history repeats itself.
I'm not giving up hope, just saying it's less likely than last year when we were the best team in the NFL by quite a distance but got cold in the AFCCG.

Really tough start to the season @KC @Dallas Bills and @Cinci doesn’t help. We’ll find out very quickly if this team is legit or not

Ugh, I’m getting so mad recently just thinking about it. If we just took care of business everything now would just be a bonus. I swear if Stroud, Allen or Burrow get one before Lamar…

Or Love or Purdy, or really fucking anyone, the only one that wouldn’t annoy me is Herbert because he and Jim Harbaugh trigger everyone around here
Fortunately the Bills are probably not a playoff team this year so there is at least that.

I've seen a few people saying this but I don't get it. They're not that different to last year and they've still got a top 3 QB. They're probably going to win their division as usual.
