What scares me most about post-2011 season and beyond?

here's the thing, assuming no injuries this season we are likely a fringe playoff team. A contender? No. But to go from the horrid poo from a season ago to a couple key injuries from a playoff team is a huge leap. I would be excited too.

Do I think this is going to make him complacent? Ehhh, lets just hope Rivera gets in there and starts getting off the stench of losing

Oh hell yea, I am thrilled with the teams progress on offense. Gamble has been great on defense. CJ has held his own. We are headed in the right direction. I just hope complacency does not rule the day when the offseason comes around.

I heard Marty on 1110AM while driving home after the game. He was almost giddy about the first half performance, as was everybody at the stadium was for good reason. Here is my concern. I think Marty Hurney looks at this team and thinks we are set at d-line. I think he looks at this team and thinks we are set at CB and safety. I have a sick feeling that Marty will look back at this season and point the blame at injuries and lack of an offseason. I think Hurney will look at Armanti's one 30 yard punt return this season and see potential. I think he is the type of guy that will view the first half tape of all our games and think we are set at many positions that need an upgrade. I do not have much confidence in Marty to see our depth, defense and special teams for what they are. I think our flashes will make Marty overlook some of our needs.

If he does what you say and thinks hes all set, what is he going to do with the draft picks? donate them to Atlanta?

I don't know. Maybe trade them away to draft a I-AA QB-to-WR project or an undersized DE?

You never know with Marty. I think Marty has learned his lesson a little though.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
