Doesn't it suck..


The Saltman

Recommended Posts

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.

FML.

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.

    • we have 2 solid/above average (however you want to phrase that) wr's, which is more than half the league at least.  We dont need to be blowing more first round capital just to placate Bryce and his limitations.   We have one absolute stud (probably top 10 wr) in tmac and we have a high floor guy with insane potential if he can stay healthy.  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.  If you need to add some speed or whatever, sure draft in the mid rounds or wait until tc cuts.  Its monumentally stupid to spend 3 straight firsts on a wr if thats the route they go.  ITs just more and more excuses for Bryce, thats where we are at now.    "How can bryce succeed without a big possession type wr (drafts 2 for him), how is bryce supposed to exceed without a speed guy......."   Its fuging never ending.  Give EE some goddamn help on defense for once
    • Tight ends in the first round just have so much risk. Even guys that look like guarantees at the position, fail. OJ Howard is a big one that comes to mind (and I REALLY liked him and thought he was going to be a stud in the NFL). I know that every player/position can be a gamble, but when you look at Kyle Pitts (he's come a long way, but he has clearly underperformed), TJ Hockenson, Hayden Hurst, Noah Fant, Eric Ebron, etc., NONE of these guys changed the dynamic of their team for the better. Zero. In fact, most of them end up being traded before their rookie deal is up. This draft has some good tight ends. I wouldn't spend a 1st on one.
    • Not true. I mean, come on dude. You went to "above average" to "solid." The teams that I mentioned have at least three solid options. Let's not waste time going through the motions.  But, maybe someone will see it as fun. Njigba, Shaheed, Kupp (maybe even Barner and/or Arroyo). I didn't even lost everyone. The Jags, Minny, Detroit. I could probably go on. Our WR corps is just not up to snuff. Just admit it.
