Is this really Super Bowl team?


Shocker

Recommended Posts

Realistically?  I mean sure a lot of good signs but this is not a Super Bowl team.  Otherwise, this is fan dreaming right?  IMO...way too many flaws here.  Coaching all the way down.  Just being realistic here.

Personally...before the season I never considered us a serious player to win it.  Just not there yet.

Aren’t we similar to Green Bay?  We “could” because of our QB and “might” put it all together and make a run but that isn’t realistic.  These teams doing something new, different that gives them a dominant edge win it.  And yes, Belichicks team is always in the mix with that QB and he is constantly changing.

This team top to bottom is good...but not Super Bowl level.

Personally I am going to enjoy the season...relax knowing we are flawed but knowing our owner will get us straight eventually.  It will be a while but keep pounding.

In a year I expect this team to look amazingly different.

I like your optimism and I want to believe we will get right eventually but we've already used up a lot of cam and Luke already. How much longer do they have?

I think y’all could be if y’all could somehow manufacture a pass rush. The pass rush (or lack there of) last night was just pitiful and will continue to hamstring the back 7 if nothing is done about it. I know y’all secondary has its own problems (like ours), but getting at least a little pressure on opposing QB’s will mask those deficiencies in most situations.

5 years at least. at that time luke will be 32 and Cam 34. More worried about luke than cam though, I think Cam will be with us for at least another 7 years. Ideally we extend him for 5 years after the 2019 season.

I am not nearly as pessimistic as many are here. 

We are a playoff team and if we can get things going defensively we could make it.

That game the other night was terrible.  It was also a short week and the Steelers did a better job of preparing for the short week than we did.  

In the playoffs you have, at minimum, the regular week to prepare.  In the SB you have 2 weeks.  I think our next game defensively will truly tell the tale.  If defensively we perform well.  Thursday night was not us, if we get hammered again.  We will be one and done.

I do think our #1 objective in the off season is Pass Rush.

we're somewhere in the 6-10 range of best teams i think.  we could beat anyone, but we could also lose to anyone.  i do think the packers are a good comparison.   we really needed to do something when cam was on his rookie deal.  i don't think we're coached well enough to win now that he's off it.  we're not going to build a dynasty with this staff. they're not capable.

    • Uggh forgot about that
    • I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.
    • The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
