Stadium will be less crowded than fan fest and the majority of attendees will be wearing black and yellow. 

Two months ago you would have donated your left testicle to science for this game. Now, you are mainly.looking forward to the Rams.

 

Anywho, what are you watching for this week?

Which bubble players will be stashed on IR with “injury “ so they don’t have to be exposed to waivers.  Godwin, Cox, Obada........

Obada is gonna make this team. I know it’s hard to key in on players sometimes but he has been playing really well. He’s big, strong, athletic and smart. And it seems like the game is slowing down for him.

I'm hoping to not watch any of the key players see action tonight. Meaningless game except for those still trying to make this team or make a case for another team. 

I'll be looking at the OL, the backup RBs, the pass rush (well, the pass defense as a whole), and a STers.

I guess I shouldn't really be paying much to position groups, though, because 1) I'm assuming there will be no game planning so no matter what happens they'll have that excuse and 2) it's pretty much going to be every man for himself.

I know this game is somewhat necessary in deciding who makes it through the cut, but I wish we could jump forward a week to the Rams.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
