I agree this could be one of those eye rolling games that make you think....what the heck just happened. For this team....especially this year there is not one game on the schedule that I FEEL/THINK the HORNS should win. Whether that is trust issue or whatever, they haven't proven they "will" win certain games because they haven't done it enough.
If they keep playing like they have and put together a winning season, then I think they will have earned some of that "expected winning" philosophy. I don't have that for this year....every game, every quarter and every play needs to be approached as we can lose. RockRam quote from below, "Will McVay be able to get them to block out the noise and focus?" This to me is a huge tasking.
So yeah I think this could be a trap game....we have to prepare accordingly.

Blue and Gold
They have some playmakers on D
Snacks Harrison is a dominant player. Can we block him?
JPP can dominate and plays often on the left, so can Hav block him?
Rabbit Jenkins can make plays, can pick off a ball and take it the other way
Landon Collins is best SS in NFL.
LBers looked suspect to me.
True, they have underperfomed so far, but there is some talent. And Spags will be "up"
On offense, the line is poor. There best playmakers are out.. so on offense, it's not that much of a concern....but I hope McVay and his knowledge of Spag's scheme will get our guys open.
But, if we are flat or if it is windy---it could be issue for passing game. If Snacks is in backfield and if they play sound defense, our run game could struggle, with Sully maybe out could be mismatch in the middle
Sure, I could be wrong and there is nothing to worry about. Or maybe some of this stuff could make this game a challenge and not a cakewalk versus a 1-6 team
