About that schedule.

Its what they should do. Screw their division rival at every opportunity. 

It depends with what's on the line. If we are in contention for the #1 overall pick, nah, I can deal with one more loss.

I meant they should screw us, play their backups, and make us slide down out of the #1.

I can have my Sundays freed up again?  We're drafting a QB#1 overall in '26?  We don't pick up Bryce's 5th year option?  

Some definite positives as the season goes down in flames.

Oh yes indeed. A bad day of fishing is better than a BY led panthers game.

#1 pick here we come, can we not pick a midget noodle arm QB this time please? 

What QB is worthy of the #1 pick? None of the top QB prospects are exactly lighting it up this year 

[AggieLean]

We will be underdogs in every game. 
 

Ceiling is 4 wins, but realistically I see us getting 1-2.

This season might actually be entertaining in a masochist type of way

[jb2288]

We prob win the next 3 

[Panthering]

We stink but the next 5 games are winnable. It’ll dictate our season cause the second half looks a lot harder.

This is a much easier schedule than last year. Outside of Buffalo and GB, there isn’t a game that we wouldn’t have a fair shot if we played like we did in the last few last year. 
 

New England? Not much better than us

Miami? Probably more dysfunctional than us

Dallas? Meh

Jets? Prob only game we will be favored in

Rams? Stafford can hardly move

49ers? McCaffrey will probably be injured by then and the defense is ancient

Seattle? Probably one of the tougher ones but weird things happen in December

Can’t really say anything about division games because they are all over the place.

GB and Buffalo are going to blister our ass though

Ain't no wins coming fam.  I will see my AARP card arrive before we ever dig out of this deep a hole.

There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter.

Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us.

Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up.

He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.

I mean...that is a crazy easy schedule from start to finish. You are looking at one elite team and as many as three upper tier teams. Other than that, it's middle of the pack or cellar dwellers.

I wouldn't start calling shots on us losing out. We have all been here before.

The "good" Bryce will come back after we're out of it and we'll somehow win 5 games.  It's groundhog day.

I don't know how about 5 at this point. I think that window has closed. Getting the easy stuff early and being notoriously unprepared every year is blowing up in their faces. 3 might be the max.

Good Bryce shows up when the other team is having a practice game or an off weak after watching our film. It's basically a sucker punch to teams mailing it in. Groundhog day? More like Groundhog year again

[Shotgun]

Could get ugly? lol
