re: Does anybody feel this team is gonna be any better?

Yes I do. Before last year, I knew we were in for a rough season, but not that bad. This year, I feel surprisingly optimistic and it might be because we just landed a decent TE to replace Watson, the offense will do it's thing yet again and truth be told, our defense can only go up from last year. We've got a great draft pick that should hopefully land us an immediate contributor on the defense.
