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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
