But like i said. I've been watching some games on GR and i can feel the anticipation slowly starting to build up.
I feel the same way. It sounds silly to be more apathetic towards a 10-5-1 team than a 4-12 team, but I guess I blame just how stagnant things have become. The last 4 years have been nearly identical, and the HC and core of players is pretty much the same.
When the team goes from 10-6 to 4-12, at least you can talk about what went wrong and what changes are going to be made. You also have better draft picks. But with nearly identical results, players and coaches over the last 4 years, there really isn't anything left to discuss that hasn't been beaten to death over the last 2-3 years.
Long story short, there's nothing left to talk about.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
