Should we be worried about our guys getting gassed? Or is it the equivalent of not stretching before the D Day Invasion?

Yes.... they cared so little that they, and the Rams, both asked for the games on 11/11 to be played at Denver so they could acclimate to the altitude. The NFL denied both their requests.
