I spent years hoping that somehow, some way, Rivera and Hurney would put together a winner. But deep down, my gut was always telling me "it's not gonna happen".

I very much like no longer having to try and convince myself that maybe something good can happen even though the people in charge aren't good at their jobs.

There's still a lot to learn, but at least right now good things feel genuinely possible.

You are not alone my friend.  It's been ages since I had faith in the organization in BOA. 

You can imagine my disgust in keeping the former dipsh*t in charge when Tepper rolled in. He has now completely redeemed himself on that one.

And it looks as if we have someone that can draft beyond the 1st round. That in itself gives my hope.

The FA pickups seem to be going better as a whole. It's just not reasonable to expect that to be great in mu opinion.  If half of them can contribute at an average to good level then you've done about as good as you could hope.

All and all this group has done more in their short time at the helm than most of our coaches and GMs were able to do in twice the amount of time. 

I'm digging what Rhule and Fitterererrr's got cooking.

Pro personnel is Morgan's specialty.

Hopefully, he'll have more of a role in that next year.

Way to early to think about the draft, but if Sam proves out, we can use next years draft to build up the line and then we really have something. 

If Sam is the guy, we are in a really good place financially and draft wise. 

Im really hopeful for the future!

Bolded is so important to the future/immediate future of the team.

If, and its a big if, but if Sam can turn his career around like Tannehill....we will have the makings of something really nice here.

Who knows what happens going forward, but for the first time, in a long time, the team seems to know the direction it wants to take.

SOOOO refreshing seeing so many young players out there playing well....that was a rarity under the last two coaching regimes...glad it's gone.

It's not only that they are playing well but you can hear from the players when they talk about our defense.  They are excited and confindent and that vibe you can see and feel.  I was excited before the season started as I felt we had just about every piece on defense but when you listen to them talk about it.  It puts my excitement, maybe yours, into a frantic attitude.

It starts with Rhule and Snow.  I know that the Saints defense was missing tons of talent but our defense played their offense which was intact and we absolutely dominated them.  It wasn't one or two plays that made the difference.  We were up their ass just about every play. We exposed Winston's weakness.

The players have bought into what Rhule is feeding them.

I'm in agreement with most everything that has been said.

One thing I will add to the specific comments about it being refreshing to see young players getting reps and playing time (which rarely seemed to happen under RR): Even though Rhule is more willing to give our young talent significant playing time vs. trotting out average vets, I love that it isn't an 'all or nothing' type of approach. 

To clarify further what I mean, he seems to evaluate each player individually and assess whether they are ready or not.  That's the way it should work!  It shouldn't be making decisions solely based off of philosophy (always play vets, always roll with the younger guy, etc.)

This team doesn't have the vibe of the 2003 or 2015 seasons, but it has something, that's for sure. Hopefully it's going to be something great, but I keep trying to tailor my vision by reminding myself it's just now week 3.

You've got to get out of that mindset.

We're not building flash-in-the-pan teams, we're building a perennial contender.

This team is a year away (two at most), from being dominate and a force in the league. No more shatting the bed in primetime games or blowing big leads.

Juice up the Oline a bit with some run blockers and find a kicker and they will be almost there. One more draft and a FA aqusition or two.....and watch the fug out.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
