Lot of long faces on that Bears sideline when they just panned by, but really, they've got 2 high 1st round picks coming next daft to look forward to. That should put a smile on their faces.

I said 6 wins at the end of preseason. I'm good. We get 3 wins out of the division, and 3 other wins. We are fortunate to be playing the AFC South this season. The flaws and shortcomings on this team are predominantly hard-wired. That means they aren't going to get magically better, and will be difficulties and obstacles all season.

Not a good stat line no matter how you look at it. That average/per is just downright terrible. Bryce Young TEAM C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS RTG 20/38 146 3.8 1 2 2-19 48.8

I know. There's still plenty of games to go too.

I don't think there's going to be anyone to find at this point. It's not a great group, and most everyone knew it wasn't a great group, but there's always hope I guess.

They might not be 2001 and 2010 bad, but its not far off by the looks of it.

Saints are doing a fine, fine job of giving this game away at the end.

Nope. He wouldn't have been any better. Don't know if it would've been worse, but no better really.

Well. Part of it might be that 1 starting corner is injury-prone, and the other is a 1-trick pony coming off a major injury.

So this is looking like the 7th straight losing season?

On the bright side, Saints do not have a NFL starting LT. When Penning hasn't been a turnstile, he's been ragdolled all over the field.

The end result is the same whether it's an injury bust or doesn't belong bust.

Seems like he is limping along steadily to that being so.

Titans at Saints has been ok, but full of mistakes.

Horn out for 2nd half. Well at least that is out of the way early on this season.

Absolutely. Teams lose because they don't know why they lose, and he will have to watch the tape, but they're better than they have shown.

My university doesn't field a team. No football. The closest university that did isn't exactly known as a football school. I suppose I shouldn't follow any of it, but I do.

Not to be overlooked are the hopes that have been dashed from the offseason when Husker faithful looked at that schedule and dreamed about being 4-0, ranked in the top 25, and hosting Michigan with their upstart, rejuvenated power, all thanks to Matt Rhule.

Correct. This was the case in Atlanta when they moved on from Ryan. They played that season with a $50 million+change cap hit, and as a result they had the highest number of UDFAs in the league.

Do you happen to read Peter King's column anymore? If not, he has a line in this week's that goes along the lines of how great it is CMC is finally in a system that can maximize him as a player. If you feel that's a bit of a slight or an insult, you should, since he became the 3rd player to have a 1000/1000 season on one of our awful 5 win teams. No mention made of that though.

Being dumb has been no obstacle in the past. Different regimes though, so maybe different results.

I'm not really on either side of it. I think more I was taking note of how our last high profile, rookie qb was not a captain in 2011. But sometimes people can be sensitive, or misread or misunderstand, or strive to take a position. As I stated, it's no big deal.

Granted they have to name captains, but this is kind of an odd assortment. Not sure how a rookie QB can be a captain, but whatever, no big deal.

Honoring the contract is 1-sided. Teams routinely cut players under contract. It is a little bit of a misnomer to call it a contract when things are not guaranteed.
