after tonight

Being all elated yesterday was ok - we'd just seen our first overall pick break (break is not a good word - annihilate is better) the record for yardage by a rookie QB in his debut and tie the record for yardage by a QB in a single game for his first year. Elation is expected.

Now it's time to come back to reality: we are still a flawed team, just a flawed team with a much better option at QB than we probably thought we actually had after the preseason. I genuinely hope I'm proven wrong but, given the flaws with this team still (which are to be expected - you can't entirely repair the train wreck that was the Panters in one shortened offseason), I still feel like we are a 4 or 5 win team this year. I'll temper that by saying that our losses this year will be lightyears more fun to watch than the losses last year but still...they're probably going to pile up.

Now...if they could just set about proving me wrong...

    • "I'm not stunned," Hansbrough said. "We talked about it at halftime, you asked me 'you have to be pretty happy.' And I said, 'No I've seen this story before.' I've seen this happen. They just had some lapses in games where they just go still offensively, defensively. Their competitiveness just drops a little bit. They never step on anybody's throat. When they have a team with a little bit of a lead, they never step on the throat. It's been something all year." The only disagreement I'd have with Hansbrough's assessment is that it's not limited to just this year. It's been Hubert's entire tenure. Hallmarks of Hubert's teams are: streaky shooting, streaky focus, running your starters into the dirt because you won't sub, and absolutely embarrassingly bad plays put of timeouts. It all points straight to the coach. When the roster keeps changing but the core fundamental issues keep recurring, it's not the players.
    • Leafs are broken. Out of the playoffs and Matthews done for the year.  It's either a very dangerous game against a team who doesn't give a fug and will leave it all on the ice, or a team who's thrown in the towel with an effort to match. And, yes, I'm sitting in the Miami Airport waiting on my next flight. Will be back in Lenovo both 28 & 29 for the b2b.
    • I’m guessing this counts as top 30 visit.
