They can only play against who they play. Most of the league has a poor record. And we are 4-8. I’m not trying to convince anyone to be impressed.

Good thing half the league is one of the worst teams in the league this year.

We have a solid defense. A bengals type game is definitely on the table in the playoffs, but this defense has had some really solid performances, and our line is having fun in the run game. Football is weird. If we somehow pull making the playoffs out of our ass, I’ll enjoy the ride .

Okay people keep focusing in 4-8. We are 3-4 under Wilks, and an Eddy XP from being 4-3 under Wilks. …with THIS QB ROOM AND MCADOO… The odds of us losing out…and the odds of motherfuging Sam Darnold leading us to the playoffs aren’t as different as you think. This could end up easily as the most bizarre season in team history.

He didn’t really have an injury past. He twisted or sprained an ankle late in the season, and then again in the bowl game. But he was actually durable. Concerns were mainly due to his frame and the potential for injury if he continued to run and take hits at the pro level. He got in a fight with Wayne Gretsky’s kid in high school, so that’s what I was referring to, along with “he partied in college and drank beer.” Which was overblown.

I’d put Christian McC…

Like how Corral fell because he’s an alcoholic who beats up kids?

Well, Sam legit finally has a good offensive line, and he has a strong run game to support him. Wilks has the team locked in. Unfortunately, McAdoo is what he is. He is bad, but he’s simply “bad” now, not “worst OC I’ve ever seen” bad like when Rhule was here. A lot of questions will be answered down the stretch to end the season. It’s sad, but this is easily the best position he has been in during his short career. Let’s see what he makes of it.

So our team is too good to tank. Which is viewed as bad, but I lean the other way, especially since our best players are pre-prime young guys, and at premium positions. Just keep adding talent, replace McAdoo, and find a QB that excels at what you want to do. You don’t have to reach or trade up or any nonsense like that. HC, OC is still up in the air for next year, so we still don’t know the direction. If for some reason Wilks is retained, the current offensive philosophy is QB friendly (need more creativity in the passing game though). Strong power run game, play action heavy, strong defense. The best players in this draft ARE NOT quarterbacks, and I believe the evaluation process near draft time will show that.

This has altered my view. I hated how long we waited to do all black and black helmets, since it felt like the whole league played out all black. It became boring. It made me less enthused when we did it, even though it looked cool. However…fug all the teams that ran all black for no reason. Panthers, Ravens, with an honorable mention to the Bengals. Those teams make sense. fug the rest.

People put a lot of weight on his performance “without pressure” last year, indicating he was worse the longer he had to throw. But when your line sucks and you get hit a lot, you expect the pressure, even when it doesn’t get to you. He consistently had time to throw, and had a nice pocket to move in today. And by result, he looked the most calm and collected of any QB this year for us. I’m rooting for him to play well down the stretch, and to be put in a situation to show why he was highly regarded coming out of USC. It’s not likely, but it would be a nice story to get behind.

They don’t care. They will have a job lol.

Nah. I’m enjoyed every bit of shitting on the Broncos and Wilson. That poo was delicious. Hell, any one of us could be dead next year. Drink in the dubs when they come.

I mean that would be a wise move. Wilks is doing admirably, but he’s still an interim. Rhule will get YEARS at Nebraska to turn the program around. Even if it’s college vs. pro, it’s job security.

I hate people who say this so I’m gonna hate myself. Lets just relax and watch him play a few more games first.

Lol Waldo the Burns trade thread was like triple digit pages of arguing

With 5 more mother fuging games left.

Is this a dig on Burns? Lol

El OH EL at people shitting on Corral and doubting him being on the roster next year.

in a way we certainly have had our expectations recalibrated.

I like it too. The all black was great, but it’s played out around the league, and it’s a shame we were the last to do it. We should have been next after the ravens. All blue would be unique and and the logo would pop against that blue.

Darnold since he has a beard now and is going to win out and is Luke’s best friend apparently.

It’s hard getting excited test driving Mustangs (2023 class) when you’ve owned (and totaled) a Ferrari (Cam). *regarding physical gifts Richardson is the most exciting, but he’s just a concept at an auto show. Barely assembled.

This either goes horribly bad or deliciously average. It would be fun if “bearded Sam” was different though. I’ll be optimistic. 200ish pass yards 1TD, 0 picks 30ish rush yards 1 TD
