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.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
