    I expect to see a much improved offense and a solid-but-not-spectacular defense.

    Sammy Watkins, Kupp, the two TEs, Tavon/Gurley out of the backfield — that is the best group of weapons they’ve had in a LONG time. I trust McV to design an offense that takes advantage of what those guys can do, and I trust him to play to Goff’s strengths as well.

    I assume Goff will make great plays, and WTF plays, like any rookie.

    I think we’ll see better game plans, better in-game-adjustments, and some real “offensive FLOW” which we havent seen in a long time.
    For the first time in a long time, i think we will actually see MEDIUM PASSES COMPLETED ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. Glory-fucking-hallelujah.

    Looks like Hav and JB might be key weaknesses but who knows. OLine should get some attention in next year’s draft, one would think.

    One would think this team will be fun to watch, and maybe challenge for a wildcard and be around .500 give or take a win. 7-9, 8-8, 9-7. Something like that.

    First year of the McV era — bring it on. I’m excited.

    Joe Vitt, Scott Linehan, Steve Spagnuolo, Jeff Fisher, McV….

    Well here are some things from 2016 that are absolutely unique to 2016 and therefore gone in 2017.

    1. They’re not moving. Any writer or analyst who actually talked about this (including Farr, who has been through a move) stated unequivocally that this was a big drain and had an effect. So I expect them to be sharper, more focused, and more stable overall.

    2. They have a starting qb from day one. Not a #2 caliber guy (albeit one with some pluck plus a long ball), and not an especially green rookie.

    3. Gurley has gone out of his way to indicate he is more focused this offseason. I am hoping that pays off.

    4. An extension of #1. They don’t believe, as a team, that this season is a kind of “pass” where management will think you’re fine, considering you have moved, if you;re just competitive. (Which was something that came up last year.) No, it’s “yes this counts” from the get-go.

    I think all those things will contribute to better all around team performance.

    Plus they added Philips, McVay, Kromer, Olson, Watkins, Woods, Whitworth, Balmer, and Kupp.

    They’re just going to be both a better team AND less mired in a less than ideal situation.

    I predict many jubilant game day chats, hope has returned!Just fun watching these guys , hungry and talented and so much room for growth on the offense. Much pressure lifted off the defense. Worries are Joyner at FS dude is too slow. and the OL is pretty thin. I’m going to trust McVay to get Goff to handle the blitz.

    i expect to see goff make strides this year. as in he won’t look completely clueless like he did last year.

    i expect there to be a 1000 yard receiver on offense. which receiver that is i don’t know yet.

    i expect to see gurley run for 1000 yards this season.

    i expect donald to be back before the first half of the season ends.

    i expect to see a healthier quinn this year. how effective i don’t know.

    I have no expectations. I don’t expect them to be a winning team or to be losers. I could see it going either way. I’m just going to take it a game at a time and see how things shake out.
