Bad Feeling About the Arizona Game (as in good results)

I don't hope for us to lose, but I obviously expect us to. At this point in our season and with the current state of things though, winning does us no good. Losing is to our benefit.

That being said, I haven't had this feeling about any other game since we last beat the Niners that I remember. I really feel like we're gonna back our way into a win Sunday and destroy the chances of getting the #1 pick.

Why?

*We are last in the league in YPG (263.2), guess who's next to last? That's right, the Cardinals (272.4).

*We are 26th in points allowed (26.0) while the Cards are worse, 30th to be exact, giving up 27 points a game.

*We are actually solid in pass coverage, we're 10th in the league giving up only 205.5 passing ypg. Cards are again, worse, at 25th allowing 235.9 per game.

*And here's where I see the biggest potential problem: We have been running the ball well despite our overall suckage. Well, the Cards are 30th in the league in rush yards allowed per game, giving up 143.3 ypg.

the cardinals scored more points in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game than we have all year... and hell, more than our what, last 4 games combined?

I think outside Goodson and Kasay, their kicker scored more total points than any one active player on offense that we have right now, lol.

I don't expect near as much offense out of them, and I am a bit worried, but they are a much better team... but maybe not when they're on the east coast!

Yeah I thought that earlier in the season too, but if you've watched their actual games, their passing game is horrible, almost as bad as ours in efficiency, at least it looks that way. And of course, they still don't run the ball well so we'll prolly control the clock, bust off a few runs, pick a few passes and accidentally win.

Skelton didn't look that bad, and they had a decent running game. Dunno, I'm not sold one way or another on the outcome.

Watch Clausen morph into Manning for one game, before returning to suckitude. One game would be just long enough to knock us away from Luck probably, lol.

I predicted that in a thread yesterday, along the lines of "in a season he's been so good at f*cking up, he'll continue the trend and f*ck up our chances of getting the #1 pick..."

And I bet he'll laugh his ass off all season if he does so.

      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.
