Earlier in the season, I remember saying "well at least we're good enough to beat bad teams".

Turns out we weren't.

We've lost like 5-6 games to really bad teams. We'd be entrenched in the playoffs if this were true, even if we weren't a real contender and couldn't beat good teams. Such a waste of a season

It's not just that we're bad, or that the teams we beat were that bad. It's the lies that it created along the way. That #2 defense rating? We give up very little passing yardage, because either your team is terrible and can't protect their QB, or you have a good team and you just run right over us in the rushing game. Not building up many yards against us? Hard to when we give you an average starting spot around your 43 yard line. 

The wins that made Sam Darnold look great also made our defense look like the best since the '85 Bears. 

This year, we beat the wounded and the witless, sometimes the wounded witless when we got lucky. This team was worse than last years and much worse than the year before's, we just got a very favorable schedule when it came to playing some teams that were just falling apart. Had we just faced the Jags and the Lions, we'd be deep in the playoff hunt right now.

And that's some crazy poo right there.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      The teams this 2nd year player (can’t really blame the years before he was drafted on him) was playing were going 100% as most do most weeks in the NFL. The whole argument is about his play during that period and how well was he actually playing. I’m with you on the winning though. Just start winning and fans will get excited. Start getting in the playoffs and winning and we won’t care how his PFF or box score stats look. 200 yards a game to 400 yards a game, start scoring and winning playoffs games and 99% of fans will buy in.

      Yeah, we are gonna be raw.  Wonnum, for the past 3 years, has been averaging 8 sacks a season (4 in one season when he missed half a season).  I am OK, but yes, they will be thrown to the fire.

      I like this because it means one or both of the rookies will be thrust into a bigger role right away and we can see what they might be. I don't like this because it just makes our team that much younger and inexperienced.  You need vets to help the young guys learn, I just hope we aren't going too far in the opposite direction.  All our FA signings were guys just coming off their rookie deals too, I get why we're doing it, but having the savvy vets help in other ways too.
