The speculation ends today

Time for the speculation, the theories and the guessing to be set aside.

Now, we see some real football.

No, every question won't be answered today, but at least we'll have some real results to judge by.

I'm ready.

We'll have our starting point.  Whether good or bad.  I think we'll start with a lot of positives.

IMO, the only question that will be answered today is if we will start the season with a win.  Any other more significant questions won't be answered for a while.  

I want to see a more composed Sam Darnold that plays within the system Brady brought with him.

That and a step up in the defence from last year - they have more tools to work with this.

There are going to be people who will think they know all there is to know based on today's game.

These people...are not very smart.

Football seasons are marathons where numerous things happen, things go right, things go wrong, and it hardly ever looks the same by season's end.

You can hope that most people exercise their wisdom and patience, but you can also pretty much guarantee that a lot of people won't.

So do I, but if it happens (a big if), it might take a while to show some results.  I think the defense (assuming it stays healthy) could look much better in Nov than it does early in the season.

Or does it start?

I like.

A question in the form of an answer.

You know this is accurate.  It will be "I told you so" good or bad.

And invariably, every year there are people whose week one "told you sos" wind up looking really dumb by midseason.
