I wanted to make a thread to highlight some of the recent accomplishments of this team. I think most everyone has been impressed with Wilks performance so far, but it's more than just having us in the playoff conversation. Here are a few trends we have bucked since he took over, but I'm sure there are others I've missed so feel free to add any other trends you've seen reverse course recently. 

 

1)we finally got a win over Brady in a BUCS uniform. We took him back to .500 all time in our house

2) We have defended the bank, we have a three game home winning streak and have won all our divisional home games. When building a winning culture you start here and Wilks is undefeated at home

3) We beat Russel Wilson, and the Seahawks...AND the broncos. I don't have to explain to most of you how much we've struggled vs seattle in the past. Going in there and winning a game was a huge statement win by this team. Beating them and the Broncos feels cathartic, old demons put to rest

4)We won a game yesterday despite allowing more than 17 points, another trend put to rest hopefully

5)We played the best first quarter in a long long time yesterday. All three phases were hitting and Seattle was not ready. 

6)We are getting hot at the right time. Did either of the first two Rhule seasons have more than 1 or 2 wins after the halfway point in the season? We're back to being a November/December team

But the most important thing isn't a stat you can point to. It isn't a specific player, or even the win loss column. The most important thing is that yesterday that team embodied Keep Pounding. It wasn't just a mantra written on the jersey, it was a spirit you could feel on every run play. That last TD drive we could not be stopped, and that's the kind of energy you need this time of year. 

 

If Wilks keeps them playing like this we are NOT a team you want to come play against in the playoffs.

You did forget 1. That win yesterday pretty much put a nail in the tank coffin. 

 

But yeah, what we saw yesterday was classic Playoff Football. Been a while since we've seen such good all-around play. Proud of the team, and Wilks.

 

I will add. Penalties. We have got to get those under control.

      If they lose the last three......

      By frankw · Posted

      I presented that scenario because this is a home game and we seemed to have improved in some capacity in that area as of recently. The problem with the possibility of sweeping the Bucs is this team has had a habit of quickly falling victim to momentum shifts. The Bucs are coming off a bitter loss the same as the Panthers but the Bucs have a much better proven track record this time of year and they have performed when the pressure is on unlike our Panthers. We have a shot against the Seahawks here in BOA but that is a matchup that could quickly get out of hand because they are a well coached team and that goes back to the momentum shifts I mentioned. I just don't see this team beating the Bucs in their stadium to close the season. Tall order to say the least.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I’d give it another year for Sanders and Evans, I don’t much care what you do with Tremble’s spot. Let him have another year or maybe replace him. Haven’t looked at his contract so that may be the determining factor.

      Following the crazy up down pattern we finish 9-8 with an improbable sweep of TB, and lay an egg in the home playoff game.  I don’t know if I can sign on to sweeping TB but I suppose it’s possible, they aren’t really that good this year.    ps I can buy beating TB Sunday and losing to Seattle.  Then it just gets to can you fluke one game. Any given Sunday. So we’ll see.
