This, in large part! The season is prologue for the games that matter. I remember feeling this way after the first couple superbowls.
For me, it is a couple other things.
1. I don’t have faith in the coaching staff. Too many times bitten, twice shy. I hope this year they surprise me but my expectations are lower than at any other time since we got Allen.
2. I don’t trust the league’s total integrity any longer. There have been entirely too many questionable occurrences to not suspect a semi rigged system. “ Semi” because I don’t think things are completely preordained but the league and the refs seem to put their proverbial foot on the scale in obvious ways when it suits them. Last Superbowl’s end of game call handing the Chiefs the game being the final straw.
I didn’t get the Sunday Ticket this year ( tried but Verizon screwed me/long story) and am going to watch streams as I need to🤷♂️
Lastly , this morning watching the highlights was Meh
