The team is a far more confident group than we have had in, shit, I don't know if we ever had a team this confident during Luck's era even. This team believes they can score every possession, and they aren't too far from that.
The lack of pass rush is going to end up being the Achilles heel for this team though, the combination of getting zero up front with a completely make shift defensive backfield playing guys off the street is going to do us in. I would not be surprised to see Herbert go for 400+ next week.
I saw us as a "big" trade candidate in an article last night, basically saying we are one of the teams that might be willing to go all-in this year due to being close. It seemed the article was implying we could be targeting Crosby. I would be fine with it- we HAVE to get some edge pressure going to keep making a serious push.
