both ways. And there's nothing we can do about it right now.

So, looking at the positives:
-loads of young talent will be forced to play. Their development could surprise a lotta folks.
-we get overlooked due to a lack of many Big Names on the squad ( due to its youth.) Plus we always talk down potential and talk up experience. This could be the year where more than a few guys step up big despite their lack of seasoning.
-nobody knows just how good we can be in 2015, so its easy to underestimate us. Sept will be a huge month to gage where we are and where we are headed. But that development will continue through Oct and Nov as well.
-Many are looking for a drop off on STs with Ficken gone. Big Toe should be an adequate replacement even in his first year. The punting and KO game should improve substantially this year which may compensate more than expected. Throw in the return game, and on balance the difference could be substantial.
-One returning RB plus several talented newcomers should greatly improve our running game.
-Give Hack a running game and 1-2 more seconds in the pocket and his game will look vastly different in 2015.
-Not to mention the OL improvement . Something tells me we will be talking about those guys a lot by the end of the season.
