It'll still be a fun season with zero stress about how good the team is going to do. They're going to be bad, but there will be some highlight reel plays and we could even play spoiler for some teams looking to sneak into the playoffs. Embrace the mediocrity and enjoy the little things.
This is the best mindset any 12 should have this season. While I've been watching the NFL for too many decades I care to count and realize the preseason is NOT the barometer one should ever measure the imminent season by, this was possibly the worst preseason game I have ever watched the Seahawks play.
There WILL be great highlight reel plays this season. All the 1's and best rooks playing every gameday. But let's not kid ourselves...Smith is a backup on his best day and Lock is Lock. I am grateful I was talked off the ledge of betting $5K on the over because right now, that looks like a long shot.
Zero stress is right! Just sit back, enjoy the few and far between victories we do pull out of our hat this year, the continued gelling and experience of this fine draft class and let's go get that top QB in the draft next April.
