I don't blame anyone who doubts the team.
It's a completely new scheme and coaching staff.
With Jonah Williams out (at least) until December and Clint Boling retired, this OL could be even worse than last year.
The defense, which was abysmal last year, really didn't add any new impactful players aside from (hopefully) Pratt in the draft.

When there's that much uncertainty, it's more logical to err on the side of caution rather than optimism.
