I just yelled Zappe to Boutte in my Johnny Most voice, and my wife went upstairs. My work here is done...
Yeah. I don't want to be a killjoy, the the NFL product has declined precipitously over the past decade.
The two rookie WRs look good. Gonzalez looks good. That was of course a totally bogus DPI call. Mac looks fine. The D looks mostly bad and the OL looks an abysmal. Punters and kickers look great.
Optimistic take: there are some promising signs of life on offense, and that combined with the starters getting healthy on the o-line could lead to that side of the ball being...actually good?
Pessimistic take: the defense looked uncharacteristically bad even with a significant portion of their better players on the field, and of course we have little reason to believe the starting oline is going to be healthy for a significant portion of the season nor that they have a great option at RT. And the schedule is brutal.
Season outlook I lean more pessimistic, but I am about a hundred times more optimistic on the long term outlook of the roster than I was a couple weeks ago.

No flag though the Patriots defender Randle seemed to have his right hand clamped on the receiver's forearm.
Watching the twin cast. They didnt say anything about movement, so curious what they said on the main broadcast? I didnt see him move as they put him on the cart.
