Ive thought all along this was a 6ish win team.  Now I am not so sure we can even get that

I was thinking 8 was realistic.  That was unrealistic given our brain trust.

Truth is, on offense we look just as unprepared for the week's opponents as we did last year.  That was part of what got me to check out on Rhule last year.  I can handle losing, but I can't handle being completely inept. 

The defense looks better, but they are not good enough to pull a 1976 Steelers and carry a team to wins by stymieing to single-digits week after week.  They are practically outscoring the offense, though.  And if somebody pulls out the offensive scores against prevent defenses, the defense may be outscoring them.

Moral on D is about take a nose dive with the way the O is playing. Blowouts are coming soon.

6 wins would shock at this point but somehow we are going to get a few wins here and there and actually make Tepper think twice about canning our unqualified for the NFL coach I fear.

I thought that before the season started.  But now getting 5 wins seems to much to expect from this team.

We’ll get just enough to not get one of the top QBs.

Well, if we got to 5 wins we would hit Rhule's average seasonal wins so I wouldn't count it out yet. We are going to get lucky on about 2-4 more I think. Your five wins may turn out to be right on the money. Doesn't look like they could do it if they play like yesterday but I bet we beat the saints again, get at least one from the falcons and then end of season we squeak out another 1 or two wins from actual good teams with real NFL coaches who may be resting some key players for the playoffs

Unfortunately, 3-1 was in the cards if not for the Rhule Tax.

      7-3 in 1 score games is not sustainable.  Like at all.  Canales needs to figure this poo out stat

      It's not optimistic at all. He has an unquestionably higher ceiling than Bryce. He played better than Bryce in his EXTREMELY limited action. That doesn't mean he is will be signficantly better than Bryce nor does that mean he should be a guy you put all your eggs in his basket. But if you want a valid option to replace Bryce when he fails in 2026, he is a very, very valid option. The one thing you cam say for Willis in the limited action is that from his time in Tennessee until now, you see consistent improvement. That isn't something you see with Bryce. I made a QB Success Metric and one thing that stood out from the data was how many 6th and 7th round "shots in the dark" that teams took. That was very eye opening. I don't think we do that enough. Frankly, unless we are happy with our #2 and/or #3 QB, that should be something we do at LEAST once every other season. And all the depth that we lack almost across the entire roster. Now you see why I say the roster is so bad?  So you think we should extend him? That's fine in theory but while we played whack a mole at QB, the entire roster kept getting worse and so did the QB. Just because the roster is bad doesn't mean you just give up with a bad QB. I would hope no one here is advocating for throwing a giant bag of money at Malik Willis or really a chunk of these options. That has no value at all.

      Has TMac not been healthy? And in Cokers ten games we have like a below .500 record.  The reality is if Young doesn't grow, this team will be at best where it is again. It's extremely hard to win with a QB that is producing so little.
