Remember the days before the season opener? Per our Reacts Survey, 67% of y’all expected a season opening win against the Atlanta Falcon. 65% of y’all had that as the start of a winning season in what would have been a glorious first year for Frank Reich and company. Just look at how far (down) we have come.
