JUst like every year, I can't believe it's opening night!

Gonna go cold hard sober: tough team to open against (price of having a good season last year, I guess). If we can't get to Big Ben (and I don't think we will out of our base D without the blitz) and they can run on us (not unlikely), it will be hard to stop their O. We may keep pace with them for a while, but our lack of a serious run game will hurt. If we get some TOs from our secondary, we may pull it out, but if not, I think Pitt wins without too much sweat.

For all that, I think what really matters this year is improvement, stability, and the continued rise of Cousins. Beat the weak ass NFC east guys and I'll be happy. 8-8 and another McLovin draft or two. We're not yet the team we will be, especially in our D front 7 and our o-line. But we're moving in the right direction.
