If they can somehow go 4 of 8 through the first 8 games I will start to believe in this group. 

I guess you would after last year. Some people would have the next 9 games pencilled as a win.

If they have a 4-4 stretch I suspect it would be later when the rookies get more adapted, the offense gets on the same page especially the OL.

Week 1 close win. Go into bye at 6-4 (Ws at Saints, at Raiders, vs Falcons, at Commanders, vs Saints, vs Giants). Go 2-5 after the bye with losses vs Chiefs, at Eagles, vs Cowboys, at Bucs, and at Falcons, but manage to eke out the division at 8-9 (4-2 vs division) because rest of the division is also trash.

Easy enough to predict 4-6 wins and no playoffs, figured I'd try something different.

I’d take the record but that statline out of Bryce would be extremely underwhelming. I’d rather Bryce go 25/10 3800 yards and the defense suck if I had to choose.

No doubt I want more from him, but this is more in line where I expect things to be. If he keeps the mistakes low and efficiency high, he should get a stat line more in line with your expectations in a Canales’ system… much like Baker had.

I never bought the Falcons being anything so I'm not necessarily surprised by that one but the Bengals losing to the Pats only scoring 10 points is a stunner.

For sure.  Didn't see them losing to the Pats, but I did fear they would be suspect with no BC and after Burrow looked shaky even when healthy last year.  They've got some issues there.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
