yeah there's still a second half but who gives a poo about it

Winners

Brenton Bersin - caught everything near him, made good catches, moved well enough after the ball. Soft coverages tonight but he found the seam tonight on the 3rd down completion to set up the Funchess TD. Hung on after a bunch of hard hits. Probably had the best night of anyone so far. Also probably just concussed himself as I type this.

Devin Funchess - that illegal block in the back call was weak. That TD catch was prettttttttttttty

Damiere Byrd - Byrd isn't making this team as a receiver; he'll be making it as a returner. Byrd had some great returns tonight. Most importantly, he just puts his head down and goes. 

Losers

AJ Klein

AJ is going to get some poo whenever the film session starts. Klein isn't in any danger of getting cut, but linebacker is not the position on this team to rest on laurels.

Ryan Delaire - looks small out there, getting pushed around. I don't think he can play DE in this scheme. I'm positive he got punched out on the TD screen. Rewatch it, the tackle gives him the business and he goes straight down.

Colin Jones - slow, unathletic, and white. Constantly out of position, always watching defenders pull away from him. Bit hard on the screen TD. Get off the damn team.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
