Embrace the suck.

Way too many of you guys are getting bent out of shape the past two weeks. Yes the hopium is gone. Yes we suck sweaty dog balls. Yes the season is over but that was the plan after Rhule was canned. We are in player evaluation mode and that's it. Start Carnal, start Mayfield, start PJ. Let them all play. It's basically preseason till week 18. The only thing that matters is that Wilks sails this ship to the best draft pick he can. Anything else is bad or not needed.

Exactly. People need to catch up. 

Hmm. Maybe I should have worded different. We are fans. I should have said they I suppose. Because they probably want to win and we are just along for the ride either way.

They are probably just trying to get through the season at this point.

Lol. Ain’t that the truth. Some people want to win soooooo bad. Regardless how much we suck. Let’s win the division and play either the cowboys or eagles in playoffs and watch them be up 50/0 at half….lol

Lol that is what I have been doing since we brought back Rhule in January. Just another month, at least it is more fun now. Allowing yourself to get hyped in our situation is just asking to get your feelings hurt for no good reason. 

Yep.  The saying that the number one cause of disappointment is unrealistic expectations applies.

When The Process still had keys to the place entering this year, we knew he was either going to show he learned something about NFL football and coaching or not.  If he did, then we could do what we should have done last year and post 8 or 9 wins.  If it was that dreaded "or not" then things were going to be bad.

There were all kinds of indications in training camp and preseason that it was "or not."  It was pretty clear the way the go-ahead drive was handled in week one that the answer was "or not."  It was painfully apparent to everyone the answer was "or not" by the end of week four.  Hell, it was even obvious to Tepper by week five. 

The cost of waiting that long is a lost season.  It's okay to hope for better, much like it is okay to hope to win the lottery when buying a ticket.  But in either case, when that hope morphs to some belief, well, get ready for disappointment.

Honestly I didn't think Rhule had many positives after they traded for Sam onwards so everything this year was just waiting for the inevitable to me. New coaches, Baker or better Oline I was pretty vocal about not having any belief he wouldn't face plant because that is all he has done and his actual football skills only apply to the college level, last year proved that. Even if he improved some this year it wouldn't be enough unless he did a 180 at lightspeed lol. Easier to win the loto tonight then for me to believe that after his constant idiocy and incompetence on so many levels. 

I can completely respect a fan to be excited and hopeful but not blind and unrealistic. Some of they hype coming into this season was just embarrassing. We could have had Daboll but we are going to have a really high pick in a better draft after snagging a legit LT so it's not all bad IMO.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
