We all need to temper our expectations for the season

[art vandelay]

This year's schedule seems very favorable.

at least the Birds have an owner that cares, spends money and let's the GM be aggressive

[Birdwatcher]

After LII my expectation was that might be the only SB I'd see them win. Given our history of 51 futile campaigns before that SB, it seems likely that it could be a while before we got another Lombardi. So I have no expectations, I take it as it comes, and I'm less angst ridden because of it.

No more excuses for Hurts. No more coddling the soup salesm….
Wait. That was another guy.

[Cheesesteak]

my thought is that it can't be worse than those chumps we had at OC and DC

[The Duck]

Put me down for 17-0.

[AthensEagle]

Bullshit! ALL IN!

[Riccardo]

Don't be ridiculous. Unless this team only won a few games the previous season, expectations always go ballistic. Just makes the inevitable chicken choke all the more painful!

[Two Gap Penetrator]

My experience is that whenever there are these coaching staff overhauls there are growing pains. Do you think new coordinators is an instant fix for that chicken choke we saw there in the playoffs? "But we added great players!" Yeah, but can they comprehend the playbook???
