underdogs Juventus were teased unmercifully about being the team in the Champions League final four that the other three all hoped they got matched up against

my Juve fan buddy was feeling down about it, especially after their lackluster performance against Monaco in the Elite Eight after a dominant performance againt Dortmund in the Round of 16

I was telling him nobody wants to face Juventus in Turin, where Juventus has only lost 4 times since they opened their brand-new stadium in 2011 (three losses in Series A, one in CL to Bayern Munich)

and Juve, with their new coach, switched to more CL-friendly tactics than the CL-unfriendly tactics Conte employed before leaving Juve to become the new coach of the Italian National Team

nobody wants to face the Juve D, which is world-class and the best of the remaining teams

Juve's midfield is loaded and is as good or better than any of the remaining teams

and TEVEZ is a World Class striker. Their biggest flaw is not having that very very good #2 striker (young Morata is promising, Llorente is above average but still pretty meh)

and even without the young and electric Pogba, Juve takes the 1st leg with a 2-1 legendary victory in Turin!

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
