I'm uncomfortably calm. In part, because I believe if we play within ourselves, we'll win. Moreover, under the McSnead regime, I am confident we will be back soon. I don't buy this "all in" garbage. I think McSnead are just too smart for that and will continue to do what is necessary to keep us in contention.
I am just so grateful for having leadership at the top. From Stan down, we are solid. That's what every winning organization in any pro sport team (and private business in general) have in common. Sure, sometimes we see a team overcome the dysfunction (see our Rams from 99-01), but the traditional powers always are strong from the top down.
Sunday will be a great test and tell us a lot. Has Sean learned? How will Morris adjust/adapt? Will we be prepared for significant adjustment from the Bengals D at half (or sooner), will we control the LOS on either/both sides of the ball, etc. But at the end of the day, we are here. Two teams of 32. I am simply grateful for all that has gone into it and am convinced the bar has been set. Snead, McVay, and Kevin are a great trio. There is nothing, imo, to suggest they won't continue our path!
