At first glance, the schedule will be much harder BUT is anyone overly concerned about getting Pittsburgh at the Bank? or even the Pats at the Bank? Not saying they're guaranteed wins but right this moment I wouldn't be overly concerned about playing either team here next week. I think we'll be alright next year. Looking forward to seeing this D get a shot at a healthier Luck. My biggest concerns are: will Calais be as effective next year being a year older?; will we retain or effectively replace Colvin?; and what will we do at QB? We're not getting a top 5 guy like we've routinely been in position to get, but the draft will likely be just as interesting as always but at least it didn't become our primary focus starting in October.
