Good stuff. Despite the 2nd year of deep free agency and yr2 of Burrow, as well as what was added in the draft, there's still an overwhelming sense of caution and wait-and-see, as opposed to flying off the handle with optimism. A lot of the optimism even dropped slightly back to the caution area from last year to this.
Kind of hard to get a good read on the majority of fans though, with an online poll, and as was pointed out in the comments, the question about "how many games will you attend this year" is going to be skewed if you don't know how able someone is to added due to proximity to the city.
Still a good and interesting read. I did get quite a chuckle out of the question "strongest position group other than QB", which was 90+ percent WR. PJD said "sometimes you ask a bad question".
P.S. I'm not sure if the answers are for subscribers only, which wouldn't make much sense if it was open during the questionaire. Someone should tweet Dehner and ask.
