The 49ers and Buccaneers wins were great, no doubt, but I think the Cardinals win was underrated.
We’d just spent the off-season dealing with the Tyreek trade and listening to the talking heads claim our offense won’t be the same. Then we just come out in week 1 and systematically drive up and down the field without missing a beat.
You don’t really think about it much but the psychology of the game is pretty big. Had we come out and struggled on offense that first game without Hill, it’s possible that the team allows the doubt to creep in about whether or not they could still be great.
We come out, go crazy, all is right in the world, 14 win season. Boom, baby.
