NFCS wide open?


Black&BlueBubba

Recommended Posts

With the all the injuries this weekend, have you changed your outlook on possibly having a chance at the NFCS title?  

Brees could miss some significant time.  And Teddy Bridgewater looks like Kyle Allen.

Atlanta already lost Lindstrom and McGary has to leave with a knee injury. McGary said his knee was making all kinds of snapping an pooping noises. Although he did return to the game but they are unsure about the longterm issue of his knee  Their OL Is not that much better than ours right now.  Probably would have lost last night if not for half of the Eagles team getting injured also.

But I’m not sure that changes the confidence I have in us actually making a run.  Main reason is our  coaching staff.  

But if we can fix our OL and Cam can get it together we could actually be competitive.

What say you??

For the other teams, yes. 

But until we know if Cam can return to form on even a semi-consistent basis, then we have no chance.  

When in 8 years has Rivera proven he can coach a winning team with a subpar Cam?  When he falters so do we usually.  I hate to say it because I try to be optimistic but we just HAVE to see good Cam before playoffs is a realistic thought.

Don't underestimate Ron still getting outcoached by Sean Payton (even without Brees) and Dan Quinn. So to answer your question, no it has not changed my outlook. I've lost confidence in this coaching staff ever since that superbowl fiasco (hell, I still wasn't confident in Ron after all those blown leads we allowed over that year). And supercam isn't walking through that door any time soon. So that means Ron and Co would actually have to put together solid gameplans week to week and make adjustments during games. Yeah, not going to happen.

If anything it looks perfectly in line for the Bucs to finally accomplish what they've been hyped to do for the last 10 years. 

We'd have to string together convincing wins against good opponents before any hope should be salvaged, this roster is past limping into the playoffs for moral wins or some poo.

ATL and TB are inconsistent

NO will be at .500 and we are in essence the Freido of the division

Inconsistent after 2 weeks of play? How do you come to that conclusion so fast? You’re hoping they’re inconsistent. If NO didn’t lose Brees we’d finish in 4th place.

    • Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.   
    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
