We're probably 100x more likely to lose out than to win out. We are the worst team in the NFL by a mile. Every team that you listed views us a glorified bye week. Yeah, odds say we'll win 1 or 2 just out of sheer luck. But we're not even close to the level of any of the teams you listed and would be lucky just to stay close in the second half of most of them.

IFFFFF Horn comes back and can stay healthy, that drastically improves our D. If Young can keep getting better each game as he has, it's very possible we can win out. Do I think we do? No, but it's possible.

heck, we should trade Horn.  We can't pay him.  We aren't on schedule to do anything that matters next year either.

No.  This team does not have enough top tier talent, on either side of the ball, to win out.

Players like TMJ, Mingo and Chark would have to start playing like we expected them.  Chark can't catch a cold, TMJ can't win a contested throw and Mingo is still trying to figure out how to play in the NFL.  Theilan is the only bright spot on our receiving Corps.  Sanders is a bust at running back mostly because he pitter patters to the line.  Hubbard at least runs like he has a purpose and really is our only decent RB, however when Sanders is healthy he gets the bulk of the carries.   

Defensively, I think we just don't have the players for the scheme we are running.  We are getting gashed on just about every running play.  Our best DBs have more splinters from the bench than they have playing time.  

To win out we HAVE TO get Young some help.  Our defense has to improve A LOT.

I have always been optimistic but this season it just seems too much for us.   Sadly, Chicago is going to have a top 5 pick, plus their own top 5 pick in 2024 draft.  Our only bright spot barring a trade of Burns is a top pick in round two.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
