New season, even a team with no changes in personnel or coaches, you don't really know what you are going to get. They have had months to effectively revamp their system and game plan for week one. Plus, none of the players has played a regular season game for months. All this is true for both teams, but I wouldn't crawl into your bunker and make a Paul Alexander voodoo doll just yet.
I agree. For example, in 2012, the Ravens beat us 44 to 13 in the season opener with Mike Zimmer as defensive coordinator. We finished 10 - 6 and went to the playoffs. No need to panic.
