The wild ride

Smooth rides are rarely interesting ones, you just end up with the destination to talk about when it is all said and done.

Crazy, bumpy, getting lost and found along the way rides are the ones you talk about decades later. Heroes aren't made by glory being handed to them, they're created in skin-of-the-teeth escapes and overcoming impossible odds.

Wouldn't it be grand to get one of those seasons out of this?

This goes back to the end of 2021.  The frustration of the decision to allow the Rhule fiasco to continue another year, watching the poor treatment of Corral and the fake competition between Mayfield and Darnold.   Watching the season start and we looked so inept.  It was so hard to watch.

We finally go from frustration to relief that at least we got rid of Rhule and hopefully play well enough to show some life.

Wilks gets this team believing that we have what it takes to win.

Now I can't wait for Sunday to come.  I am excited to see how we play and push for the playoffs. While the chance that we end 5-12 we also have the chance to finish 9-8 or 8-9.  It's exciting.

Oh for sure it's been interesting, but I think I could live with a boring season of watching a competent QB just repeatedly throw the ball to receivers for first downs and touchdowns. 

However dull it might be to not watch our passer continuously wear the expression in the pocket of a golden retriever trying to understand organic chemistry, I can live with it.

To see other team's QB's not be able to pull out their phone and listen to all of Hey Jude, then put the phone away and throw a completion if Burns is double teamed and can't get there would also be the sort of sacrifice to tedium I'd be willing to make.

The monotony of win after win and consecutive playoff appearances I am also willing to endure.

I will bear that cross.

I am that martyr.

This could've turned into an unwatchable 2010 type season, but somehow, some way, they've turned this runaway train into a glorious hodgepodge of spectacle.  Reminds me of the end of Bullet Train if anyone has seen that flick.  

Somehow, some way, ditching CMC and barely throwing to DJ is working for us haha.

I literally fell asleep because the last game was so boring. I'm ready for some good, dare I say great football, around here. I'm fine with this season ending and won't miss it when it's gone. This roller-coaster ride is more like the one made for children too little to ride the real ones.
