Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

I always expected it locally but even national media is talking like this team is about to do something. I personally don’t like it, because it rarely works out that way. The blueprint stuff too. When you start speaking like you have arrived it diminishes the drive and the hunger it takes to compete. We haven’t won even a game yet, I am cautiously optimistic, but this team has too many questions from a roster and development perspective to be talking nonsense like playoffs or even a division title. Let’s just enjoy the journey and take it easy with the projections.

True story!  I’ve built a work of art over the years in the belly region.  It’s time to reverse course and create a new work of art!  So, I’ve been skipping lunch and using my lunch money on Bryce Young MVP bets!  It’s win, win.  I’m gonna be rich and sexy!

Knowns:

top 10 o line

2 proven, quality RBs

2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’

A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen. 


defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat. 

This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see. 

I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is.

The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’ 

I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

Guess it depends on what people think we are hyped into being this year.   Which I think is pretty broad. 

I think about 7ish wins is about right.  Which is in line w/ Vegas.

      At this point, I think Chubba is the odd man out. I hate that, but I think Dowdle gives us more production and big play ability.  But there is still a lot of football to play.  I think it depends on how much Dowdle will want too.

      I’ve been anti-trade when it comes to Melo, but the way this season has started, it may be time.  I love his game and he’s a cool dude, but I’m starting to think, if he’s your best player, you’re never going to win anything of significance.  Too many brain farts, too many injuries, and ultimately for as fun and entertaining as he is to watch - his game is indeed a thing of beauty - it just doesn’t translate to wins.  And that’s IF he even plays.  I think it’s time to cash out and maximize the return.  I love Melo, but I think it’s pretty clear what the ceiling is for a team where he is the best player.

      Every NFL team, college program, hell even HS has numerous "what ifs" that got derailed by injury. It's a brutal sport and half the battle is just getting lucky enough to stay healthy. Doesn't matter how durable you are and how well you take care of your body everyone is one weird hit or awkward twist away from a career derailing injury.
