Being Positively Blah

I'm going to pose a simple question: Pending a win tonight...can we make it through this entire season with Fox, Hurney, & Delhomme and still feel good about our team at the end?

I really think so.

I'm not currently a supporter of any of the three fellows I mentioned, but I am looking at our current situtation as this:

If our running game picks up soon, we are fully capable of going to the playoffs. Simple. And this is regardless of how Jake performs and as long as our defense can be mediocre. Look at the second half of last year. We had basically the same team and a similar situation. Jake had horrible horrible games against the likes of the Raiders and Buccaneers and our defense gave up a ridiculous amount of points yet we still managed to finish 12-4. I believe if Delhomme can drag on as last years self to the end of this year, we can still finish well...and we can still get rid of him (Along with Fox & Co.). He may have around 20 interceptions, 15-20 TDs and we may not in fact fall off the face of the earth. Our team will still have two awesome running backs, great linebackers, solid starting o-linemen, and good TEs at the end of this season. We have some to dispose of but we don't have to blow up our team to bits and start from square one even if we do get a new coach and QB. Teams like the Jets, Bears, and 49ers are showing me that we have the potential to get it going quicker than it seems.

I'm just trying to get a positive mindset thats not a homer and at the same time not a negative prick. When thinking this way: My expectations are still very low, but I still see playoff possibility. Basically, just stop freaking out people. :seeya:

So, let's start by beating the living crap out of the Cowgirls in an bit. Cheers.

    • I think Ransom will be a solid player for us.  He played beside Caleb Downs, the cornerstone of the Ohio State defense last year and some have him as a top 5 pick for the 2026 draft.  He was characterized as the smart, instinctive, versatile safety.   I just don't think S will be a liability unless we have injuries.  I am very interested in seeing what they have in the three UDFA safeties; I see one making the roster. As for CB, I think they are higher on Wade-Smith than most of us are. Again, depth is a concern.  We have to hope Jackson has another solid season and Horn does not injure his leg or toe on one of the yard lines.   I am not sure I would compare it to last season's DL because this year's DL will cover a lot of deficiencies, but I know what you mean---our weak link.
    • Lol.  Now you make me defend DG. We had the best IOL in the league under DG and Oher looked solid until he got that bad concussion. DG drafted Moton and Daryl Williams as well. The OL fell apart under Hurney 2.0 and Fitterer. DG also drafted Star and Short. Sorry, but that was all in 5 drafts so let’s not make stuff up about not trying to improve hog mollies. Gettleman did a ton wrong and took the wrong guys, but he and Rivera had a deep and talented team and it got blown up really quickly. Also, I love Cam but he wasn’t the best QB in the league. He had the best year in 2015 but he wasn’t Brady. I think Dan has had a solid offseason, way better than last year but I’m not putting on rose colored glasses until we actually have a 10 win season. Again, Dave and Ron had 3 10+ wins seasons out of 5.
