Call me crazy, but I'm not even discouraged

I mean, c'mon folks... we all know that we suck after a bye under Rivera. Always have, probably always will. We made the Jets look like a good team today, oh well. We got the W. On a day when we didn't play well offensively or defensively, we made just enough big plays to get the win on the road that we had to have. A D that while elite on paper hasn't been producing turnovers got one and put in the endzone. We returned a punt for a TD in the first time in seemingly forever. Good teams find ways to win games against teams the should beat even when they're not playing well. That's what we did. Yes, the Jets had some TD drops. Yes, they helped us out with some penalties, but that's what bad football teams do. That's why we're 8-3 and they're 4-7.

Now, we just have to hope that this was nothing more than the typical Rivera-era post-bye letdown and that Olsen, TD, and Funchess are okay.

This one is a confidence booster. The team knows they didn't play well and they're gonna hear it this week, but we gritted out a W anyway. This may have been a necessary wake up call heading into New Orleans. Next week will tell us a lot.

Who in hades is discouraged?  We looked great last week, not great today.  But W’s, count the same.  We have issues, so does everyone else-like the Saints who will lose today.

The atmosphere will suddenly be a lot different around here if the Rams get it done. As for who's discouraged, seemingly the majority of this board.

Ha I rarely indulge during the game.  That’s why I guess.  Crazy.

      Lance Zierlein's Position Rankings 2026 Draft

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      That makes me wonder, how many starting tackles in the NFL and/or elite tackles have short arms? I feel like there’s probably lots of tackles that end up being drafted in later rounds because they had short arms or didn’t have the physical tools.     also why not draft a tackle in the later rounds that we could move to guard or center if they fail, instead of drafting a center? If we draft a center we know they aren’t going to play tackle but if you draft a tackle they could end up playing any of the 3 positions, look at BC for example. It feels like it’s a better decision to draft a tackle in later rounds than a center.

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.
