I mean pretty much everyone is taking this win with a grain of salt. There’s a lot left to prove.

but it is also possible to see some good things we did yesterday unless you are just a miserable person

Some good things, yes.  You can't win a game and not have some good things happen.  I'm a big picture guy and one win against a really bad Saints team isn't swaying my opinion of what needs to occur for this team to finally get o the right track.  Rhule will get a few more wins this year, no doubt, but ultimately it's up to Tepper to do the right thing and get a new HC.  My biggest fear is we get to 6 or 7 wins by season's end, not realistically in the playoff hunt and Tepper points to a couple games improvement over his 5 game barrier as cause to retain Rhule.

Seen a lot of apologizing for Herbert but that didn’t matter. He still threw for 300 yards. Jacksonville dominated the game and they were scoring all day.

Just saw word that Rashawn Slater is out for the year.

Herbert probably needs to prepare himself to take a few more hits 😕

Yep. I did find it funny that in one of the Herbert excuse articles they mentioned Slater being out as one of his OL being missing for the game. The score was like  23-7 or 30-10 at the point Slater went down. Herbert wasn’t at tip top but that’s football and OL get hurt, but Slater got hurt when the game was already over. It’s just funny when one of the new league favorites loses, they get articles like those. Pretty sure Herbert isn’t too young to get a call. 

Brandon Staley has been getting loads of attention since last year.

This season might be a "come back down to earth" moment.

Some seem to forget how close we actually were in winning the first two games as well (despite all our weaknesses)........

No one forgets. It's that we're always close and we never close. This is a chronic problem that has been going on a very long time. At some point you have to move past the point of *we'll make it over the hump someday" to "this team just can't get it figured out"

We had this discussion regarding Rhule's "we're close" comments.

Truth is a relatively small percentage of NFL games are outright blowouts. Most games are close, but people mistake the idea that consistently losing games by a small margin means something positive.

Losing is losing too...by an inch, or a mile, it's still losing.

      https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
