Our red zone effeciency wasnt as bad as memory serves.  We were tied with the Browns at 14 for 58%.  Bad thing is the last 3 games was 44% and last game was 33%.  Seems force feeding McCaffery is not a good way to score TDs

I don’t know why we’d be looking to replace him with any of these jags we’ve been signing (other than Anderson, not a jag). Curtis did the best he could with the trash we had at QB last year and the year before he seemed to score a TD every third touch (only a slight exaggeration).  He body catches a little, but still catches most catchable balls thrown his way. He just needs more opportunities.

Collectively it has been garbage the last 4 years or so. At least it certainly feels that way.

People have been dogging Samuel seemingly since he was drafted.  Why?  Because he didn't put up stupid receiving numbers in college (as a RB), was hurt early on, has been working with backup QBs and a staff that tried to run the entire offense through one guy, CMC.  Never mind he's a helluva Swiss knife.  These are the people that want #1 WR talent three or four deep.  You know, the ones STILL wanting to take a WR at#7.

He has gotten better.  Hopefully this staff will shorten up some of his routes instead of using him as a one trick pony as the deep threat.

Exactly.  He ran shorter routes some, but definitely during the 2nd half of the season it seemed his job was to run deep and try to open up the underneath stuff for CMC.

In fairness to Samuel, he got open deep at least 10 times I can remember off the top of my head and Allen may have connected on 1-2 of those.

I hope Teddy can throw it deeper than it has appeared for most of his career.

Or maybe we paid Anderson $10M a year so him and Samuel can take turns trying to run the defense off CMC

I really hope with the Anderson signing we stay 3 wide most of the year otherwise someone is being wasted... Both can take the top off even out of the slot so it's exciting to see what this offense can do. TB is light-years better then Allen and dj still balled. Keep pounding!

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
