Scary facts from these past two seasons in the RivERA.

So after looking deeper in these last two seasons, it tells a very grim story of just how below average we have been. We have a combined 12 wins in two seasons. Get ready for this.. Only 3 of those wins have come from games played when we still had a realistic shot at the playoffs. Last year we won aganst the Blaine Gabbert led Jaguars and the Rex Grossman led Redskins when we still had a somewhat realistic chance at the playoffs.

This year it was a win against the Saints in week 2. It gets worse. Look at the teams we did beat these 2 seasons. In 2011 we beat the Jaguars, Redskins, Bucs, Bucs, Texans and Colts. This year we beat the Saints, Chargers, Raiders, Redskins, Falcons and Eagles.

That equals to beating just one team with a winning record in 2011 and just two teams with a winning record this year. Another grim fact is out of our 12 wins, 6 of those wins came against teams already eliminated from playoff contention. Chargers, Raiders, Bucs, Bucs, Eagles, Colts. Thats right, 50% of games we won have been against teams eliminated from playoff contention already.

Well what about those 3 games we won against the Redskins, Falcons and Texans? The Redskins win this year was when they had a losing record, the Texans win came a week after they clinched a playoff spot and oh BTW had TJ Yates at QB. The Falcons win also came a week after they already clinched a playoff spot.

So what does all this tell us? Well what I gather from all this is we are a team with a big heart that doesnt give up on the season when playoffs are out of the question but arent good enough to win when playoffs are still in the question.

Except statistically we've had a a very good season (with one of the toughest schedules) and except in two blowouts we've lost by <7 points in every game. We have a franchise quarterback who is a solid leader of the offense and a defensive stud rookie leader of the defense.

Compare us to the Colts. They've had the easiest schedule in the league, and Luck has won all of the "close" games they've has. Statistically speaking they're not going to win all those "close" games next year and we are not going to lose all of ours. It goes beyond wins and losses when you're speaking predictively and talking about the future of the franchise. The Colts are overrated, we're not. But please, spout more bullshit about how terrible we are.

Also, objectively speaking we're very underrated.

I think you will find similar stats for any team that only has 6 wins a season. Only 12 teams make the playoffs and And only 13 teams this year will finish with a winning record. Read that again so it sinks in...it is very tough to have a winning record. Only 13 out of 32 teams will have a winning record this year.

The only reason why RR is even being considered being brought back is we were competitive in and should have won most games we lost. I will take RR for another year if we can't get a reputable HC.

Oh yahhh moral victories for being close! We're undefeated when you include those.

    • Just going off the draft sims and he's always sitting around 20 lol. First year in a while where we haven't been thinking about the draft already in late October so haven't really looked into the top 15-20 picks yet. Also the qb class is super weak so he probably will sneak up into 10-15
    • I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.   
    • What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
