Are you buying into the media's narrative that we are third tier

I know more about our roster than the media, so I certainly don't go by predictions from Peter King or whoever. If I thought the media knew what they were talking about, then I'd go to Vegas and go all in on some W/L bets.

To me we're headed to about 8 wins, and if we deviate much from that I'll be surprised. Even so, I'd never go bet on that. Sometimes teams under or over perform for logical or illogical reasons. Just the injury bug factor alone should scare people away from thinking they have a good idea of what is going to happen this season.

I expect a disappointing start to the season while the team develops chemistry followed by some wins at the end of the season. Will be one of those years we lose games we are supposed to win and win those we are supposed to lose. I say 8-9. 
 

With Bryce getting a year under his belt, the staff meshing with the players, and Fitterer’s war chest for 2024, we are in great shape for next season.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
