That's what happens when you win the division. We get the best of the best and winning won't be easy. I think a regression is possible. We still ended up below .500 this season in the weakest division in football. Still plenty of holes in this team that need to be addressed.

Every team is going to improve and some are closer to getting things solved then we are. They had a decent season compared to 2025. Are they ready to take the next step and break the top ten? They are still middle of the pack. Dan and company will have some work to do to fight their way through this schedule.

Needless to say we aren't going to back our way into 5 wins again.

On top of that. The division around us is undoubtedly improving.

We definitely will not be able to sustain another year of the offense and specifically Bryce Young playing ugly football early in the season.

You realize it only impacts 3 games right? 

If Philly loses today they might look real different come next season. The divisions were playing the same place finisher as are all tough divisions anyways. Really doesn’t make a huge difference

To be the man, you have to beat the man. If we ever expect to make a run, you have to be able to compete with the big dogs so I welcome it. We can’t keep getting help to make it in the playoffs, we need to keep building it block by block, the Seattle game in 2014 is one we will always remember because it showed us that we belong with the best

Get a FS that is actually a FS. 

Get LBs that are NFL starter material. 

Pass rush. 

Knowing us we probably go draft more WRs and RBs. 

D’Marco Jackson, App State grad and Gaffney graduate may be available. He’s absolutely shown out for the Bears when he’s gotten his opportunities. 15 tackles one game, INT, Bears defense played a lot better last night when he got on the field. 
 

4.4 speed shows up at MLB.

I know that we have just had a roller coaster season, and that the team has obvious shortcomings and downright holes, but I take issue with that comment. We didn't "back our way into five wins," we worked hard for every one of them, save for maybe the one game against Atlanta where we dominated them.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
