Doesn't it suck..

That we had to wait all offseason for football to come back and watch our favorite team play? Now we have to wait all season for it to end and do the whole process all over again. Not saying that we can't turn it around but next year is obviously going to be a year full of craziness in the offseason just like this one.

I just wanted to watch us be competitive and maybe have a shot at the playoffs. Now we are basically the worst team in the league with a Rookie QB, a lame duck coach, and expiring contracts on the horizon.

Yea for real. Even if we don't make the playoffs, it's so much worse when their season is over almost as soon as it starts. I guess we all should have seen this coming, but it's hard not to wear your rose-colored glasses. The prospects of making the playoffs keep me engaged thoughout the season, but when they lose their first 3 games, it bascially renders the remaining games moot. Two years in a row now - screw it, I need to get another hobby anyways.

I was telling my friend this the other day... That's the worst part about football. You only have 16 games, so if you suck at the beginning you pretty much already know your season is going to suck and you'll have to wait almost another whole calendar year to be good again.

We already know this team is horrible, so as the a lot of the threads in the forum suggest, all we have to look forward to is the draft, a new coach, etc. This year is even worse though b/c we may have a lockout so that would essentially blow all that poo up...

That's the worst part about football... The season is so short so the anticipation is so big and so is the let down once you realize your team sucks.

I'm watching every game as if it's a preseason game. The outcome ultimately won't matter, but it's fun to see some of these young guys play.

And you know what? I'm okay with that.

I've kind of taken that approach, but I still can't stop myself from getting pissed off and angry when we don't even make it close. It's hard to detach myself from the outcome emotionally even though I've already accepted it.

Yeah, after Clausen threw the first pick and I slammed my remote control down, I walked away from the TV and and took a deep breath, and said "screw it" and adopted this same mentality too.

I'm also watching the other teams who might beat us and might be playoff contenders to see if they are for-real.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By TD alt · Posted

      That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
