The doom and gloom is a bit ridiculous

According to the Eagles' announcers, the Bengals had a lot of starters in there on defense, while the Eagles had 2nd and 3rd stringers on their offense.

But, yes, there should not be doom and gloom. The Bengals are installing a new defense and it would be surprising if they were a smooth machine in the very first game.
