becoming less interested in football every day. I can't be the only one feeling this way, they have to be losing some fans.

hockey and baseball have overtaken football as my favorite sports. I rarely even post in this section anymore.

I was actually going to make a thread posing the question as to whether this may be the worst time to be a sports fan EVER?

My reasoning is obvious, the two biggest professional sports - football and basketball, are both locked out over labor disputes. So, whereas we're usually able to come here and talk about free agents, how the team looked in OTAs and camps, and the prospects for the upcoming season, instead we're now talking about whether some dickheads can agree to give up a few hundred million from their billions...

It's just horrible.

And quite honestly, I am starting to lose interest. Baseball is too slow, so it won't take away from my passion for football or basketball, but as of right now, I'm extremely disinterested in both the NBA and NFL. I've sort of taken a "whatever" approach to it all right now. I don't really care what they do anymore, just wake me up when transactions are possible and camps start I guess.

NFL needs to keep in mind that fantasy football is the reason their popularity has soared in the past 5 years - not because they are marketing geniuses (unless they invented fantasy football then they are marketing geniuses). If we didn't have fantasy football, a lot more people would be over this and just watch college football. Unfortunately, fantasy football is so much better for the NFL over other sports b/c of the number of teams.

      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.
