We have a ways to go to be a good team, but I'm definitely

definitely 100% with this team for the ride. We are gonna have ups and downs but this team is having a lot of fun and its a lot of fun to cheer for them.

Agreed. The players are obviously happy to be a part of the team, and that's pretty important at this point.

I'm all in, but can't help but think our offense is going to be painful to watch this year. We have 2 non-conference opponents and a bye week before we start our divisional schedule. Maybe we will look a lot better by then, but the OL is going to need to magically elevate it's game if we are going to compete. Everything else looks like it has potential to work out.

We need our WR's and TE's to pick it up a bit. We will be fine if they do.
Worried about Cooper and Minihan. Cooper was limping during YJA. I am concerned

It'll be less painful to watch if one stops worring about one play or one series or one game and focus on the big picture. That is hard for any sports fan and really hard for an engineer. We are trained to be detail oriented.

Early in the season the Braves lost some games where they pulled starters that were cruising. It was frustrating from a short term viewpoint but I kept saying they were doing what was best for the long term. They had to keep the starters healthy for 162 games and beyond and the bullpen needed the experience as well.

ATL is a long term thing. Having a ton of youngsters playing meaningful snaps is gonna result in rapid invaluable learning, but some of it is gonna be "the hard way". Hope we all recognize that.
