They have 1 starter on that Oline. They are complaining that Hurts can't, or won't go through his progressions before  taking off. He has bad decision making to go with an overall weak arm. Their Offense is a mess.

 

They lost Graham, and Barnett and Cox are no-shows. Iffy LBs, and a broke down Slay is their best CB.

 

That team, IN OUR HOUSE, has no chance.

Well our injuries and guys missing can negate some of that...I mean we have no idea how the OL is going to go either which could derail an entire side of the ball. But like the thread says we should win this. Playing well with injuries and guys missing and winning these types of games are indeed what playoff teams/teams that have arrived do...lets see how it goes.

Looks like we have something in common since we have 1 starter on our OL with a bunch of trash.

I think we're playoff caliber with CMC, and we're not without him. It's because our offense is just not good enough without CMC, and you can't have a tepid offense and expect to make the playoffs. We're basically using CMC to prop up a non-playoff team and who knows if his body will hold up. If he can stay healthy then I like our chances of making the playoffs. If not, then we'll have to rebuild the o-line in the draft and continue to slowly build a team that has the talent to be great without CMC.

The elephant in the room is that our o-line is exactly as bad as nearly the entire huddle feared it would be before the season started. And the effect of that is starting to wear Sam down as the season moves along. Ever wonder why Sam is a mile off on his deep throws? It's not because he can't throw deep. The ghosts are coming back. I think Rhule is going to put in Christensen this Sunday to do some ghost busting.

Games like today is what keeps you out of the playoffs

Games like today is what will keep Sam from getting another Starting Job as NFL QB elsewhere.

Clock is ticking and this previous debacle did him no favors.

He has to turn sh-t around IN A HURRY to regain all the goodwill and trust he threw away with those 3 Picks.

    • The guys who are the top 3 in the draft compared to XL have less room for growth. Especially Harrison. He's been groomed his whole life for this by a legend. He's naturally gifted and well trained for being the top. He'll get better, but he won't get much better than where he is right now, imo...not compared to XL. I'm not saying that XL will be better than Harrison, just that Harrison's floor is a lot bigger than XLs because of the investment made in him from essentially birth. He had advantages that XL just didn't have. XL is just now getting into a position where he can receive solid coaching and opportunity he's never had before. He's naturally gifted an old supposedly very coachable and takes to coaching well. There's no telling how good he can be.
    • Who is to say what's realistic and, even at that....who the fug cares what anyone's "realistic" take is? I'm not upset by anyone's take on it. I'm just an advocate for something other than the take that there's no reason to be optimistic. A realistic take, in my opinion (because there is no objectivity in anyone's take at this point) is that the season hasn't been played yet and there's been movement that can be seen as us heading in a positive direction ...or a negative one, depending on your perspective. I don't believe the part to be an accurate predictor of the future if changes have been made. And don't think you aren't allowed to get in a discussion with me just because I'm a mod. I don't ban people for disagreeing with me. I just look for reasons to feel good about the team. It's easy to feel like crap about it based on the past. I'm just tired of feeling like that so i quit. We aren't losing yet so why not take a moment to feel ok about what's going on? Again, that's just me. I'm giving an alternative to the easy pessimistic takes.
    • I don't think there is anyway Bryce Young can stink....and remain the starting QB past this year.  NFL history of late strongly goes against that.  Then you got Tepper as the ice cream on top.
