i for one would not be excited about fielding this team in the postseason.

i know what you're saying, but really? what if we lived up to our true potential, you don't think we could compete with playoff teams? we will know b/c we will have played most of them this season.

now if we back doored our way in b/c Atl go so injured they just couldnt win and we flukely got in at 7-9 maybe, but even with that record Seattle beat the Stains.

I think we all desperately need a playoff team, it's been pretty brutal to us long fans these past few years not to see our boys winning again.

My hope is gone. I watch and enjoy, nothing more. I care if they make the playoffs, but I'm not going to expect it from them. They are blackbelts in the art of giving away games stupidly these past five years. I believe they have the ability to make the playoffs but I will believe it when I see it. The time for hope is long gone. It's time for some results, we fans have waited patiently for far too long.

I'll still have some hope until we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. The reason is not because we might suddenly improve leaps and bounds, but rather because injuries can strike other teams and greatly improve our chances. Imagine if ATL and TB are hit hard with injuries. That's not a far fetched possibility, and even healthy we played them close. Anything can happen, but we need to go on a winning streak now. Beat up on the Seahawks, then get healthy during the bye, and come back fresh and focused.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
