I know that preseason means little to nothing in the scheme of things. Still what else is there to do this time of year.

I actually think we will do pretty well this preseason. Why? Because our second and third string quarterbacks will be better than our opposition. Plus we will have a bunch of guys very hungry to make the team who will be giving their all.

I think we will go 3-1.

What say you and why????

I expect quarterback play will be above the competition, which will make up for mediocre wide receiver play (and perhaps mask a legitimate problem.) On defense we will get no interior pressure but the defensive ends will surprise us a little. Good pass defense, shaky against the run.

possibly 2-2, probably 3-1.

It is probably going to be difficult to win just 1 game. The Ravens and Jets are both going to be top 3 AFC teams this year(along with the Colts). the Titans are just an average team other than the run game, which could be hard to stop, idk we'll see. And the Steelers won't have Big Ben and they dont have that much "decent" depth at WR, so they are probably going to run the ball alot, and their run defense is always good. I see us going 2-2, beating the Steelers and Titans.

I am hoping for 0-4 so the team comes out into the regular season knowing for sure how much work needs to be done.

The opposite could happen. They do well in the preseason because our backups are better than other teams backups, and we think we are further ahead than we are. Everyone gets excited and we find out the reality when everyone starts to gameplan and play their starters.

4-0. Yes, I'm serious.

We have some quality depth at quarterback (it would seem) and running back, as well as some emerging players on defense. I really think we're going to surprise some folks in the preseason.

I definitely acknowledge the potential of this happening:

2-2.

I don't think the pre-season matters.

2008 the lions went 4-0 in the pre-season and went 0-16 lol.

It matters very much in that you get to see your team's strengths and weaknesses, and also the positions which have the most and least depth. But you're right that the win-loss record doesn't matter a bit.

      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.
