Tillis, Morgan, and Canales

[Jmac]

These guys have done the work and have build the culture needed to succeed. Tillis from the Chiefs has been a great choice. Knows how to built a successful roster. Morgan has made some very good picks and FA signings. Canales is going to be a very HC in the long run.

Tepper has stepped back and let his guys cook. Excited to see what tomorrow brings for this team. Hats off to these guys and how they are building this franchise.

Keep pounding

I hope you are right on this.  I feel like we are turning a corner.  The next 2 games will tell.

I'm waiting until this entire odd season plays out fully to really judge anything.  Or maybe I should say, change what the last several years has locked into place.  This is one of the weirder seasons I have seen and hardest teams to really judge.  Its a very schizophrenic team/season.    And there are 2 very different ways the finish could present and the board would view things vastly different from both ends of the at finish spectrum.

I will say next season will be the real test. Still learning how to win close games and building the team. Few more pieces to complete the team. Happy to see what they have accomplished so far.

I really hate when we get this optimistic and act like this team is right at the cusp. We beat the Rams by 3 even though we had a pick 6, forced another 3 turnovers, had no turnovers and scored two long TDs on 4th down. All that and we still needed Brown to strip Stafford to keep them from forcing OT.

I’m all in and will be at next week’s game but we aren’t anything like some of our past playoff teams that were legitimate SB contenders. We’re just the only team above .500 (by a half game) in the worst division.

There is still a lot of work to be done and we still need good drafts. Tet’s been great but Scourton and Princely aren’t blowing up. A lot of playing time but man we still need more top players. One or two injuries to our stars and we suck.

Lol. I know. We’ve got a whole thread about the ups and downs. We still have a chance at the playoffs if we can stop losing after every win.

I just hate the heaps of praise on our front office when we’ve still got a ton of real holes even with some really good wins.

There’s something happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear… 

Bad and untalented teams don’t beat the Rams, Packers and Cowboys. Hell, even in our most dominant seasons those 3 wins would be very impressive. 3 of our losses were by the best teams in the AFC (Pats, Jags, Bills). They swept the falcons, our kryptonite team. Screwed the pooch in Nola and San Fran. Should have beat SF. That still stings. 

This has been one of the hardest schedules this team has had in recent memory. Going up against the best teams in the AFC and NFC, actually winning a few and now 2 wins away from the playoffs??? 

They used to be considered the team NOBODY with playoff aspirations wanted to play in December, and that rings true once again. It’s Far cry from the get right game they were not that long ago.

yeah, with a 7-10 finish and borderline top 10 pick still being on the spectrum of finish possibilities (at still wouldn't log as the best Tepper season given we have gotten there in a different really weird season that didn't make a lot of since).

I heard on some random news show this AM:  (At 5 am-- I am rarely up then--I think ESPN (A white dude, a black dude, and a white chick)  

If the Panthers beat the Saints, they have a 70% chance to make the playoffs.  If they lose, TB has a 70% chance.  

To me, that is high.  With 2 games vs Tampa Bay left and a Dec 28 games vs. the Seahawks, I would say the percentage should be about 55-60%.

I think it was Week 5 some years back: After a good start, we played the Titans and got our asses handed to us.

"Exposed" was the buzzword of the day and everyone was certain that our season was about to dive straight into the toilet.

That was in 2003
