Division

Look, I understand the optimism as I am generally as optimistic as anyone about the prospects of this team. I am pleased that we are seemingly dominating the games we should dominate much like last season.

That said, we have a 1 game lead in the division thus far and 2 over the "vaunted" New Orleans Saints. Time to temper the excitement for a second as many of you remember that we were 2 or 3 games down much of last season until the Saints self-destruction completed in week 16.

I'm impressed by how we have played but the teams we have played do not offer much for a subjective analysis of how good this team is. McCown shot himself in the foot multiple times last week and the only thing known about the Lions is that they at the very least have a decent coaching staff. They beat a bad Giants team which offers little to know information about how good or bad they are.

Now, go enjoy the win, we need to have BOA rocking come Sunday night. Ready for the weekly "Camisms to start rolling out."

PS. Anyone in Brier Creek/RDU area want to crash the Steelers bar in Cary on Subday?

Wtf. We've known about the lions for a long time. They're a damn good football team. We beat a very loaded team, and overcame the stigma of losing the opening week and the slow start.

A loaded team does not a good team make. See the "Dream Team" and the Bears from last season. The fact is Detroit finished 4-12 last year and look to be playing a very similar brand of ball this year.

To say they are a good team after being trounced and beating a bad Giants team is illogical.

All I'm saying is, we've gone through far too many let downs in previous years and I'm just as happy with 2-0 as I was at being 3-3 last season. It's the finish that counts.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
