Win or lose, I'm still happy to be able to watch the boys play on Sunday's. Its a whole lot better than the offseason. We are a young team and in a rebuilding year, we have to expect that we're not going to be great! This year will give alot of young players some time to play and gain experience, and it'll also show us what talent we have. The more experience the better they'll get and next year we'll see what positions are solid, and which ones need to be addressed. In my opinion, the Defense has been playing execptionally well! They'll only get better in time. Alot of young guy have shown potential. Thomas Davis will return at some point also. The offense has the key weapons. The offensive was above average last year, and I think they are capable of being a dominate force this year. Our running backs are excellent, and tightends are are also good. Smith is our dominate wide recieve, and Gettis has shown potential, Lafell and Edwards will get better throughout the year. Everyone wanted Clausen in there and now he's there. They will keep him in there the rest of the year and he too will grow more acustom to the offense, and they'll get familar with him. They'll have an up and down year, but it'll be a good lesson for him. It'll give him something to carry over to next year.

The team is going to win games it won't be the rest here on out but they'll get it together and win some. This year is basically a learning experience for young guys and the rest of the organization. Time to evalute the team and see what talent we actually have.

Also, Fox is a good coach he took this team and turned it around, he's provided alot of excitment in his tenture here. Look at some other teams thats gone through so many coaches that couldn't do what he did for us. I hope he wants to stay a the end of the year, although I doubt it after the organization hasn't acted like they want him around.

As for Jarrett, he hasn't done anything for us the whole time he's been here, but he showed he can catch the ball... They are letting the rookies out there for experience. Jarrett's on the team, why not let him dress and see if he can make a difference. I mean they kept him why not use him.

So what I'm getting at is for the ones that are always so negative on here, stop it, and just enjoy the season. I want them to win just as bad as anyone one, and they haven't. That still hasn't stopped me from being excited to watch them play sunday, with the possiblity of a win and someone stepping up to have and outstanding game!

How optimistic can I possibly be?

I'm sitting in my seats one Sunday afternoon in mid-October. Player intros are over, the National Anthem has just concluded and a flyover of Navy F-18s is still ringing in my ears.

I turn to look over my left shoulder as I seem to hear a familiar voice, "Gotcha popcorn heaaaaaaah! Popcorn... right heahhhhh!" Only to see a silver-haired, gum-chewing, vendor-toting John Fox coming down the steps toward me.

I holla up, "How much?" and he answers, "6 bucks... it is what it is, pal."

      Wild Card QB Performance Rankings

      Horn was open on the first play but Bryce was trying to get the ball to Coker. First play the Rams were in cover 1 with a robber that did a great job of taking Coker and TMac away. Pressure got to the QB late as Moton was pushed on top of Bryce and he ended up throwing it away. Horn was open early underneath. Exactly what you're looking for here and he should have thrown to Horn. Maybe could have had Coker or TMac run the dig there instead, because the robber played both their routes perfectly taking them out of the equation. Throw away.  Second play the Rams are in cover 3. Yosh gives up immediate pressure. Coker and TMac were open but Bryce was already escaping the pocket and immediately turned into a scramble drill. No WR got open after that. So had to throw the ball away. Third play the Rams were back into Cover 1 with the robber. Ball is thrown to Horn but he was held by his defender and couldn't get to the ball. Perfect pass. Perfect. DPI or defensive holding should have been called.  Fourth play the Rams are back in Cover 1 no robber this time. TMac and Coker are running deep routes again. Jimmy pops open on the dig again with his man trailing. It's the right read. Good pass. Not perfect, but plenty good enough. Horn  loses focus and drops it.  No one was really schemed open in any of those plays. The second play was the only one that TMac and Coker were open, but the immediate pressure took the QB off his spot where he had to escape the pocket. I really don't know when he could have forced it to Coker or TMac. Maybe the last play. Deep safety was shading TMac. Coker had 1 on 1 running a fly, but the CB stayed on top the entire time. Maybe a deep back shoulder attempt. But Jimmy was open for the first.

      I generally start w/ his sub par offensive production, inability to threaten the entire field like you would hope a franchise QB has the ability of in his backpocket.....and then get into his unicorn size.  how consistently below average and weak our offense has been under his direction (every season) IS the starting point of the Bryce "haters" convo.  I mean, take a Caleb Williams and a Bryce Young.  Forget draft status (despite it being identical)......they are world's apart if you just look at them as NFL only prospects.   They are basically Arnold and Danny from the movie twins.   Bryce basically is a likeable human and Caleb has all the other traits.
