Least excitment before any season?

Oh I watched the 1-15 season and last years 2-15 season.  I'll watch this year.  Eventually they have to get it right?  Right?? 

I used to get more worked up about it, but if you can turn the switch and make it a purely entertainment hobby it's a lot easier.

Someone has to bare witness to what happens. It's hard to complain if you don't sit through it all.

Yeah, the difference is now that I really don't care what happens at all. I am just an interested observer/glutton fof punishment.

Then I will call up a couple of buddies and we can bitch and rant for about an hour sometime that week.

It’s been bad football, compared to other teams.

I feel a lot better since I went to delayed replays that come up ad free too, and decide when I want to watch them rather than giving up the Sunday only to be miserable. I just stay away from the NFL all day which isn’t hard I don’t play FF any more.

If I some how see or hear the score it doesn’t bother me because the games don’t matter, I’m still gonna watch the plays get run.

I mean, the Tepper era has only been bad if you compare us to every other NFL team that exists.  As well as every other professional sports team in America.

I stopped getting upset about a week after our last SB appearance. I've just been an indifferent fan ever since. I'm just along for the ride.

I officially gave up last year. All the BS was just so obvious that I couldn't ignore if anymore. 

We aren't going to be poo with this owner. He is an idiot. A very confident idiot, which is the worst kind.

I get the impression that Teppers the sling poo against the wall until something works kinda guy. That seems to have been his approach so far.

I think they just keep convincing themselves they have a plan. The truth is, they are just blindly floundering.

Maybe one day they will learn from all the fuging up. I haven't seen much evidence that Tepper is self aware enough to realize he is a massive reason this franchise is a mess. He seems to be convinced that it's others failing him.

The two signs of hope I kind of see are

1. He hired an outside firm to help make his hires this time.  One that has had success doing so for other teams.  

2. He said he is staying in the background now.  I now people are doubting that but the fact he is actually saying that in public means he is some what aware.

Last season after the draft was mine. I didn’t like the Bryce pick, didn’t think he fit the system at all. He was my qb3 in the draft and the Panthers gave all that capital to get him. This would probably be second for me. 

That was me as well, I was holding out hope that all the reports were wrong. 

Then stroud had a MVP type season helping the team reach the playoff..... made me hate the pick even more..... plus its a 4 year sat-back if young truly can not play. At this point in my life, 4 more years just is not on my menu.

    • 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.
