Where's the enthusiasm?

I've been a member of this group since Zod was a baby.  I've always loved the friendly banter as well as the upscale reporting that Jeremy does for this team.  You would come to this site to get a real feel of what's happening.  Not so much as of late.  This year has been "hum drum".  No upbeat information.  It's as if we have given up.  I for one know we aren't going to win out.  We could, but the statistic show otherwise.  I'm looking forward to seeing Grier command an offensive squad.  Will he get sacked?  Probably.  Will he learn how to read the defense?  Probably.  Can he get the ball out quick when the offensive line is collapsing around him?  Time will tell.  So, put a smile on your face and watch what happens.  The team needs us and I for one will not let this team down.

Since 2015 ended with a moan, it has been one year of disapointment after another. 2016, fans lost a fun player and turned on our most winning GM for being an ass. 2017 brought us back Hurney, who in the end does not win and took one season to put together a squad that droped 22 (edit 18) loses in the next two years while mishandling/carrer murdering our franchise's best, most liked and most amazing player. Now our coach is gone (at least a year after his issues were known and insurmountable, i think 2), the GM who can't win is still here with a huge WTF in the air on how long we will have to suffer through his 'skills' and flat not winning and our entire deffense is in desperate need of help and direction. CMC is basically the bright spot at the moment and i have a feeling the Lions & Sanders comparison is apt. Our Owner has shown very little football ability but is lining up to make money hand over fist regardless while sprinkling us with hope through lip service and a domed practice field. Next year could be worse so yeah, kinda bleak.

Im going to watch the game anyways, eat some food and contemplate the fate of PSLs. It's grim but honestly, that's not new. I doubt to see anything good until the coach search and acquisition but then that giant WTF of incompetence will still be here giving it his all to ensure we don't win because that is what he has done for more than a decade. We will see what is what after the draft and utill then i don't imagine much enthusiasm because the team hasn't given us much reason to have any. Enjoy football because it's  football not because its good football.

This is debatable.

Ron's ho-hum, "well, there's always next week" approach sucked the life out of the fan base.  That and him pummeling Cam into the ground...  Cam provided that electricity for the players and fans alike...  so, losing him and losing games has definitely taken some wind out of our sails.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
