We looked competent and prepared. I'm not expecting us to be world beaters this year, but if we can be consistently competitive it will be a huuuuuge step forward. Just having Bryce look calm and collected, demure and mindful so to say, was a big step. Good on the coach.

Zappe could be a very good waiver wire pick-up. The kid has the chops, he was just stuck on a team that was destined to crash and burn the Belichick legacy.

The team that draft Shedeur will regret it for a decade. The guy has crash and burn diva written all over him and will bring a baggage train of hangers on and his dad as a Coach. And honestly, he ain't that great. His PR firm is stellar, though.

(Pst, I'm one, too.)

Stranger things have happened. This will be a strange year, it just has that feel to it. I hope it's a good strange. Not like an "upside down, you thought that was bad before" Stranger Things kind of strange.

Hey folks, swing by and give the guy a subscribe. Once he gets 1,000 he can monetize the channel and from there all kinds of good things can happen.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Figuratively, anything could happen with this season. Might as well tune in, cheer for the team and enjoy hope for as long as we have it. That's football. And, yeah, sometimes hope only lasts until that first game, partway through the first quarter. And then sometimes they send in some nobody back up QB who'd never got a shot before and he wins that game. And then he goes on to march the team to a Super Bowl. I mean, lightning could strike twice.

Was sooooo ready to argue this but, nah I think you've got it. Maybe Delhomme/Cam ... both completely different QBs, both had their ways, one the superior (maybe one of the most superior in NFL history) athletes, the other guy was just grit and heart and belief. But yeah, you nailed it.

Not sure, but it was just one of the chinks in the armor that wore him down, I'm sure.

I just keep flashing back to Cam getting injured on a pre-season game blitz versus the Patriots.

Okay, the fellow screaming at the practice facility... someone needs to get him some assistance. Really.

Good luck on the YouTube channel man. Gave you a like and a subscribe! It takes time to build it up but just keep cranking out the videos and learn along the way. One day you will see a number of views that will just completely blow your mind. It happens.

Was just about to put this in there. The kid looked like the real deal that first year and then into the second for a bit. Then he got injured and he never was the same again. I was never sure if it was a lingering injury or if it just knocked the grit out of him. Really had high hopes for him after he and Moose had that great season after Smitty got injured.

There's probably a lot of truth to this.

Remember back in the days when both Fox and Rivera had the mantra that you tried to win preseason games also, because you needed to teach a team that winning is the most important thing. Now it seems that we're only teaching how to keep your job and play not to get hurt. We've been missing something for a few years now. Backbone.

What a disappointing snoozefest.

I think our two least talked about, and possibly most important, organizational groups are our scouts and our medical training staff. Recent years have shown how poorly both groups have performed and how it has hurt the overall team. Maybe it's time to take an axe to both and restart those programs?

I agree wholeheartedly here. And with RBs being de-valued in the draft, it makes it much easier to snag a top end RB. But back to the cornerback thing... are we still looking? I think we've been unsettled at CB for, well, since that last SB run.

You are missed @Mr. Scot! Hope everything goes well for you and you recover completely. Prayers sent up for you and yours!

Eddie is what you want from your kicker. They are meant to grab three points for you when your team bogs down between the 20 and 35 yard lines. And he does that magnificently. And they are meant to seal the seven for you on touchdowns. Those shots from 50+ are always a pull the team out of the fire thing and he's decent there, even good. A team that can boast about their kicker hitting multiple kicks from 57-63 yards each season isn't telling the full story... that their offenses bog down and their defenses aren't strong enough to make something from pinning the opponent inside the five with a good punt. You get a guy like Eddie on your team, you sign the contract and keep him comfortable while you work on the rest of the team.

Yanno, Eddie has been really good for us and if we actually got him more work, that'd be great. Right now, at least, the kicker and punter are the least of this team's worries. And last year, they were probably the only weapons the team had in the bag. I'm so hopefully for a better season this time around. The bar that has been set is not very high at all to show improvement.

Newest one.

Now talk about pure speculation...

We looked like it was the first game of the preseason in a downpour and that we were the worst team in the NFL last season with a new head coach AND that we were sitting all of our starters. In other words, that was slow and disappointing. A slop fest. A real showing of how there is no depth on the offensive line as of yet and that we had some very bad drafts over the past few years. Maybe we can see something next game. Something. Anything. Please.
