This is not a playoff team

I have had a few days to think about the Eagles loss and came to this conclusion.  This is not a playoff team, and primarily because the interior of this line Paradis - Daley - Miller may be the worst in the NFL. 

I project we will finish 8-9 or 9-8 at best and miss the playoffs.  Those who are calling for double routes to Anderson and Moore need to get real.  There simply isn't enough time for Darnold to step up into hese throws when they're constantly pushing linemen into his face.  Defenses will continue to play us like the Eagles did on Sunday, sit on our routes, and send pressure up the middle. 

At this point, why not play Brown?  He can't be much worse, can he?

Yeah, writing on the wall. Interior Offensive Line is just too far away from competing for a wild card spot as it stand currently. Darnold also needs another season to work on the deep ball as well, he's missed a few wide open TD's, thats something I think he adds to his game Year 2 if he really is a franchise guy.

We were always going to sneak into the playoffs at best and (very likely) lose in the first round if we did.  This isn't really news.

Personally, I think playoffs is still possible.  Doubtful, but possible.  The oline would have to get their ish together and play better for it to happen, which is unlikely.  Looking at the NFC though, there is two spots available with no clear favorite for those 2.  (Cardinals/Rams seem a lock for one of the 3 wildcards.)

Oh my gosh, can the negative nancies retire for the season? Some of us enjoy hoping for a playoff run when our team has a winning record. Seriously.

I dont believe they are being negative, they are just giving honest assessments.  The eyes don't lie.  Some of you like dwelling in the land of fairytales instead of looking hard-core reality in the face.

Oh  shut the fug up. You talk out both sides of you mouth all the fugging time. You never talk football, because you spend all your time trying to rile folks up with your goofy azz takes like this one.

      TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."

      DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
