It's funny that you frame it that way.

I'm sure that there's somebody on the opposite end of the fan spectrum that would label c3 as haters and Ricky as an optimist. 😛

If you put it in context of how godawful we have been then the verbiage makes sense.  Being optimistic about this trainwreck of a franchise is blind homerism

This is where we agree to disagree I suppose.

Weren't they less than stellar yesterday also? I realize it's still early but I sure hope they don't look.yhis way in preseason games

Sounds like there's a huge drop off between the starters and Mays/Chavala.

Surprised they aren't trying BC there considering he was going to start last season... unless they're really uncertain about Corbett's knee.

@mrcompletely11Listen to what you're saying. The preseason matters but not for predicting what a teams win/loss record will be and whether they will be a good team or not. It's for evaluating depth and getting certain looks at your team but for the most part it is extremely vanilla.

You want to judge a 17 game season on 6 or 7 offensive series during 3 preseason games. Potato. That doesn't make any sense. Is it a 200 IQ prediction to predict that the 32/32 offense from last season might also suck this year? Yea it is quite possible but you aren't going to get that information from less than 4 quarters of play during 3 preseason games in which the game plans will be mostly vanilla.

      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.
