Let's not throw the season down the drain with doomsayer predictions after 1 game.
I thought it was good to have a commanding presence at QB for the 1st time since Marino.
I thought our front 7 played well but were eventually worn down by too much time on the field during those extended drives. We need to get the opponent's offense off the field sooner and keep ours on longer to keep these guys fresh.
Our 2 major weaknesses are unsurprisingly still the same as they were throughout the offseason and hopefully will show major improvement as we progress into the season. Specifically the O-line (especially run blocking) and the defensive secondary in pass defense (they are pretty good in run support.)
Still one has to wonder about the offensive game plan. Seems like we chose to throw over run majority of time and played their defensive game plan to a T for them. We did exactly what they wanted us to do by becoming 1 dimensional way too early.
Bottom line, I think talk of superbowl run now maybe premature but we are a much improved team who will only get better as we improve on our glaring weaknesses in game 1 and a playoff berth this year is still very much a possibility.
