Why we will have a winning record this year

We just played Dallas at the hottest point we're likely to see them all year. They will be mediocre as always by the trade deadline. But right now? Riding high at 2-1, in their house, buying their own hype. And they escaped us with help from the refs, help from our OL who spent much of the game singing the 1984 hit Take On Me by a-ha, and Phil Snow's evil doppelganger Phillip Rain.

 

With all of that against us, they escaped by 8 on our worst day. Darnold threw for 300 yards and 2 tds while rushing for 2 more and damn near being our leading rusher, on his worst day.

 

So I don't wanna hear no fuging bullshit about how we got exposed. How we're not a winning record team. How we're not going to be competitive. We just battled back to put ourselves in a position to tie the game late after the deck was stacked against us, momentum was gone, we had no reason to fight....but we fought anyway.

 

This team has moxy. This team knows what it takes to win. This team is also dinged up. But none of that matters because at the end of the day, you either have heart or you don't. This team whipped theirs out and hung it out the window for the world to see. Either take yours out too or sit there trying not to stare at those of us dangling it from the window as we ride 485.

 

Keep fuging pounding

I remember John Fox would break down the season into 4x quarters. 
The goal would be to win at least 3 out of 4 games each quarter, and you would end up 12-4…..he did that once I think. Lol. But that is how I try to look at a season. Right now we are at 3-1 which is pretty good considering we are just past the first quarter of the season. Also, our friends in the NFCS are not doing too great at the moment, se we are in good shape!

obviously taking one game at a time is most important, but I liked the approach to not getting too bogged down by losses, even a couple of 'em, if the team could rally for other wins in the 'quarter.'

a lot of nfl games aren’t decided by a large margin…just how it is. how many did we almost win last year, almost is getting tiring and yea this team isn’t ready yet…

aside from oline a kicker, giving it to cmc 40 time a game will be a great 4 games or so…just like last year

This offense needs an oline, depth and more creativity and balance. I mean look at Moore and Anderson this game being utilized…I get the oline sucks but was ignoring them (comparatively speaking) when we did have cmc really necessary?

defense is pretty complete but could really use a couple run stuffing specialists

all in all I agree not too shabby, but not ready at the same time

This game was a wake-up call, but in a good way. This team is very young. I believe they'll make adjustments and players will grow as the season progresses.

More like a kick back to reality. Just like last year.

Weak schedule. If they don’t finish above .500 something went terribly wrong 

We just lost to a mediocre Dallas team and you're saying sub. 500 there is something wrong? I would say around. 500 is probably about right for this team.

Im not sure why you think Dallas is mediocre. They are probably top 3 in the NFC.

The OL will hold us back, but the D is a bigger reason we lost today.

They will win their division but definitely won't end top 3 my dude. I mean WFT might actually beat them out this year.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
