It doesn't feel like the season is about to start, and for me that's because of 2 main things: 1) none of the stars played a single snap in pre-season and 2) the Mariners are way better than expected and right in the middle of playoff chase. Normally I cannot wait for the Hawks to put me out of my misery of the Ms season, but it's far from that this year. And it's awesome. I'm excited for the game this Sunday, but I am dialed in on the Mariners right now.

For this first game, it'll be disappointing if it's not a fairly comfortable win. I expect a few 3 & out drives just because it's the 1st game and also a new offense, but I can't see how the amount of talent this team has on offense doesn't make this a 2-score deal by the end of the 3rd quarter.

I expect our defense to be much better than last year... I'm still concerned about our CB's but they were still an issue for us last year as well... Love our front 7 going into the season though... I think we are much better there and they get to start the season together vs inserting mid season through trades, FA's, etc... I can't wait to see Brooks play full time - he's going to be a beast...

All in all, I feel like this is our best team over the past 3 years... I'm surprised that we're being overlooked but i'll take it... This team thrives when they don't feel like they get the respect... For example, some simulator on ESPN had us starting the season 0-9...

I think we'll win by one score... 27-20

If I heard it right, that was one result out of like 20,000 outcomes from that simulation so it might be getting a little more airtime than it really should. If you run a sim enough times, you're bound to get all sorts of weird outcomes. If a given outcome has a .1% (1 in 1,000) probability then in 20,000 attempts it should happen 20 times. I'll eat my hat if we start 0-9.

Tighter game than I expect, but week 1 is always the most difficult to predict. I could see 27-13 and then the Colts score a rather meaningless TD when the outcome is no longer in doubt. Wentz hasn't been healthy, TY Hilton is out, so we should be loading up against the run.

Eric Fisher and Rhodes are out. That should help our DL a tad (Collier is out too, but I think Green or Taylor can step up with a backup LT) and keep Lockett/Metcalf dominant.

Colts have a pretty dominant interior line though.... Gonna be hard to get any mid pressure which means Carson Wince will have time to step up in the pocket. Hope we dial in some blitzes early on to rattle him. Not really as concerned about their receivers, but with that massive beef wall and us a little thin on linebacker, Jonathan Taylor could bust some long runs. Poona Ford and Dunlap are certainly no slouches on the DL front... and Al Woods is a massive guy to get by..... should be an interesting matchup.
