How did we win 12 games last year?

This is easy. WE GOT LUCKY. We just as easily could have been 8 and 8, maybe 7 and nine. And an easy schedule played into that as well. Lets see.

* We beat the chargers with no time left

* we beat the packers with less than a minute left

* we beat the saints with a field goal with no time left

* the worst was the lions win....just as easily could have lost that one

Thats definitely 4 games last year that we could have lost just as easily.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy we won them but I think it shows who we are as a team. Get the lead, then play not to lose. Thats a Foxy thing.

Strong Team chemistry - smith puncing lucas = blessing in disguise

Dominant O-line - blue chip talent at 3/5 positions. Great back-ups.

Amazing Running backs - no need to explain.

Peaking at the right time - we only lost to playoff teams. We played well against good teams. We had some games against powder puffs where we could afford to play like doody.

and last but not least...STEVE SMITH

I do remember some luck, but to win 12 games in the NFL you have to be a good team.

My question is, what has happened?

We're being outcoached. Hopefully they will get it in gear and call some plays that aren't predictable and we'll have some impressive victories this season.

We also need to execute better at multiple positions.

We are a good team with unbelievable starting talent at multiple positions (especially offense) and if/when we get it together we will be contenders this year.

That's a load of crap.

What do you call Steve smith dominanting DBs to make those circus catches with the saints and packers...go tell him he's just "lucky"

Go tell Jake delhome that two minute drill was based off "luck"

And yeah we could of lost to the lions if we hadn't of totally dominated on the ground and made plays on defense.

You essentially saying, "If we hadn't of made plays and performed well we wouldn't have been a good team". How insightful.

Luck is involved in all parts of life, you don't go 12-4 based off of luck.

Well we did have an easy schedule and we won last year in spite of Jake (remember the Oakland game)? This year we are losing because of him. And to the previous poster, there was a lot of luck in the GB win as well as AZ. Sure Smitty makes acrobatic catches a lot, but there's still some luck involved. We would have lost the AZ game had Warner not forced it into triple coverage and Beason picked it off down by the goal line. Hell we could have easily lost the Detriot game too.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
