After the bye...predictions on the upcoming storm

Recommended Posts

I'm worried about next week, TBH.  Although I'm really hoping that yesterday was a wake-up call, the defense didn't pressure McCown and Tampa Bay has much better receivers than New Orleans.  Hell, they're just a better team.  And they will be playing at home.

ASSUMING we get out of there with a win, we could split the next four and I would be plenty happy.  If we do that, we're winning 12 again.  If we don't, I could honestly see us tanking and ending up clawing our way out of a 3-5 hole to finish 8-8 or 9-7.  We really need to take care of business down there before we start talking about the Seahawks, Eagles, Colts, and Packers.

We always play Seattle close and they aren't exactly lighting the league on fire right now. We don't match up well with GB, and we got destroyed by them last year. I don't expect a win, but I do think it's a much better game than last year. The Colts are smoking right now and are swirling dangerously close to full on dumpster fire. The Eagles will likely hit their stride right as we meet them. 

I see us going 2-2, would not be shocked at all with 1-3 or even 0-4, would be pretty surprised with 3-1, and would be floored with 4-0.

Fully healthy, I'd say we go 2-2 in that stretch with a win on Seattle and Loss to GB. The other two are a toss-up..

I think we sit Luke again this week and have him come out strong from the bye week.

What worries me is the pass rush. We looked pretty bad and now we have no CJ. I think we can stop the run with Star and Luke back but I really worry about These QBs pulling a McCown on us.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
