We are not a playoff team at this point.  Do not see where we recapture some magic to make it so.

Need high draft picks instead

LOl, how 24 hours changes everything!  Just yesterday people counting the teams we needed to beat to get into the playoffs and how plausible it was.  Today it's tanking for draft position!

Time to pull the plug on Darnold. If we have any hope it isn't with Sam. I honestly think the only reason we haven't already is because we know PJ is even worse and Rhule is cringing at the thought of exposing that we really did go all in on Sam Darnold by completely failing to have even an NFL quality backup behind him, much less a true plan B.

He won't unless someone magically comes up with meaningful experience to take his hand and shoe him how to navigate the minefield he created. I don’t think that person exists in the building now.

The fact he still coddled Darnold in the press conference yesterday makes me belive he is driving this ship straight at the iceberg still.

      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.
