Nobody thought either team was worth a damn but I remember thinking both of those teams were better than the analysts predicted.

On the flip side, I believe we beat the Ravens one year on MNF and everyone thought they were gonna be really good and so would we. I felt sick after that win though even though the talking heads were actually talking us up for once. It was an ugly game and I couldn’t help but think those were two bad teams. Pretty sure both sucked that year so I was right there too.

I think you can tell a lot from the way your team plays week one contrary to what the announcers said all day long. I think we saw two good teams today and both fan bases should be excited for the season

I also saw a shitty Cleveland team which makes me even happier

I think with some positives from today's game combined with the Browns crashing down made people in Bengal land in much better spirits even with the loss.
