Barely losing to a team that has had multiple 9-win seasons and is a favorite to win the division is not exactly a "disastrous" start in my book.
It was a very similar ending to what we've seen the last couple of seasons, however, but the rest of the game was much more encouraging.
I also wouldn't say disastrous. But I'm not sure going from winning to losing by 1 score in the 4th was what big red was hoping for in the first full post frost season.
Of course not, but if you asked any of us before the game if we'd be happy with holding Minnesota to 13 and the game being within reach in the final minutes, we'd all have said that was a great result.
