I mean, it took the ball bouncing our way to help us squeak out those 5 wins last year. 

We caught both the Jets and Texans with rookies making their debut starts.   

Saints were displaced by a hurricane, injured and didn't have most of their coaching staff.    

Cardinals we got to face their backup QB and had the injection of Cam into the universe mojo. 

The Falcons had their #1 WR walk away the morning of the game (which shreds their game plan) 

Hard to project any team will finish last as generally in season events will help sort that out.  But I think another top 10 pick is clearly in our future. 

 

As I reread this.  It sounds like you'er making excuses for every team, but us.

List the HC/QB tandems on our schedule where you think we have the edge on both.   Using Sam as the QB.  

then when you are done with that tell me the teams where we at least have a clear edge at either HC or QB.  On our schedule. 

which HC on our schedule is Rhule clearly better than? Which QB is Sam clearly better than.  

I don’t see how we aren’t picking in the top 10 again. But I’ll listen to an argument.

We had a lot of injuries last year.   Do you think any teams beat us that wouldn't have without our injuries? 

Apparently all of  their excuses are valid.  Are ours?

We’re 100% picking in the top 10 again. The question is if it’s top 10 or top 5.

*and a healthy CMC playing out of his mind doesn’t translate to wins with bad QB play.  We already know that.   It’s why it’s a QB league.

Your post was a listing of excuses for every team we beat.

This is the post I replied to. 

Why list excuses for every team we beat?

I'm not convinced Burns is going to have a great season this year.

Teams know they can run on him now, and without a guy like Reddick taking attention away from him, he might not be as effective as a pass rusher either.

He's 250lbs, they've known they can run on him since his rookie season.

it used to be whenever we were predicted by the media to fail we’d upset and kick ass as the underdog

now it’s just accurate

when the media is always right about you sucking you’re 100% in Jets/Browns territory

We weren’t and aren’t a very good football team.  How do teams like that win? Generally they need the ball to bounce their way.  And again, it did in our wins.  

So you can’t answer a question?  You just want to get mad when people call Rhule/Sam what they are.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'm not to sure it's a solid argument to try to estimate what he will do this season, BUT he's had a solid 3 years in the league. Here's his numbers compared to Jewell's for the same time period. I can see the logic of getting a starting MLB for a (at best) WR4. AT, XL and Tmac are certainly our top 3 guys IN 2025. Certainly worth pondering.

      Training camp just started and it's already starting... https://www.facebook.com/reel/24277303321904901/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v LOL No one believes you and you have fan pages sharing this with a "Play him or trade him" headline. Oh wee mayne. This is why no front offices wanted any part of this.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
