Scrap out/fall into a few wins in the next 2.5 months and be 4 and 8 or so, and if they can get back healthy, they’ll go on and make the playoffs possibly without the crossover. 2001 GC champs Stamps were 8-10 in reg season.
And with the weather drastically different in last October and November vs July 6, which equalizes things more.
Huff and Dickenson know this.
Players can’t rush back and risk reinjury in late July, when a few more weeks rest and then fully ready for the fall is exponentially more important.
And, they haven’t yet lost tonight so let’s not start writing eulogies for the season.

I feel that opening night loss to a bad team in the Redblacks could be costly for them. This is not a season where they can likely afford to lose too many games to bad/mediocre teams as they are probably going to struggle to beat top teams and end up around .500 by the fall leaving small margins for error if they ever can put together even 3/4 of a healthy roster by then. If they lose more players tonight (which is highly likely) it's going to be as bleak a scenario as we have seen maybe ever as DD already has very little to work with. Adversity is good but this is getting a little ridiculous.
