The NFCS clown car continues...

I wish we’d just get out of the car, and try it again next season with a new coaching staff and QB. 
 

Whoever comes out of the South is getting waxed by whoever gets so lucky to play us. I’d rather not have to experience that. None of these South teams (atleast the ones in contention) can score. Only time we can score is when we face other South opponents.

Would you really consider this a successful season if we made the playoffs and get shitted on in the wild card and lose badly? 

I'm pretty sure the memo is out on how to beat the Panthers. Stuff the run, run straight at them, and force the qb into obvious long passing downs.  And when you do have to throw just throw on the opposite side of JC Horn for easy completions. 

We hang our hat on defense and they're entirely too inconsistent for my tastes. Pass rush, coverage,  tackling.. And they have a very particular penchant for giving up long 3rd down conversions.

You’re not lying!  We give up the sticks way too easy.  Start with a cushion, back pedal into first down territory, watch the receiver break the route off at the sticks and convert.  It’s like some of our dbs don’t understand route trees.  You have to be on the receiver at the point of the catch to have a chance to defend it.  Our guys are too often reacting instead of reading and anticipating.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
