This is evidence of why I want the starters to get some playing time in preseason. Even if it's just a couple of series.

This year we have a new WR, security blanket TE from last year gone and security blanket RB from last year gone.

If things go sideways on offense Sunday night, McCarty needs to be asked some hard questions from the media.

Except it's not evidence that playing the starters in the preseason helps. We lost plenty of openers back when the starters did play in preseason, like in 2018 (in 2020, there was no preseason, so nobody played). In 2021, when the starters didn't play in preseason, we put up 29 points and 450 yards on offense against the defending SB champions, and that was with our kicker (who DID play in the preseason) missing three kicks.

4-1 against the giants, with that 2016 game being Daks first game and Terrance Williams saying nah fam I don't wanna go out of bounds.

So, what happens, do we continue the opening night losing streak and break the win streak against the giants? Or do we breaking the opening night losing streak, and continue the giants win streak?
