Parity?

From year to year you can't expect that much parity. Over a 5-10 year stretch it's pretty damn good. The bottom dwellers of the AFC screw everything up though. Who would have thought IND, CIN, MIN, WAS and SEA would have made the playoffs this year?

I can't wait for the Pats to crash and burn after Brady retires.

Negative. 3 out of the 4 teams from last years championship games are in the championship games this year.

The reason for that is those teams aren't drafting so to make the playoffs the following year like the panthers do every year. They draft to add depth. So it's hard to de-throne them. They have plenty of time to be patient and scout well. Unlike the panthers that goes for the first Mel Kiper hype every year that end up busting. Plus those organizations with their coaches understood early on what the most important positions were: OFFENSIVE LIVE and QUARTERBACK. It doesn't matter what order they come: JUST GET IT DONE.

Those teams don't try to fix everything in one draft. They fix major weakness all in one draft. I remember NE a draft or two ago went all out on defense. Now look at their defense. Mediocre coachs/GMs, like Rivera, draft one position each every year and never get anywhere.

If Belichick were hired to coach this team you'd imagine the first thing he'd do is draft all O Line this year and have them compete in camp to stabilize the offense. With the Depth, the following year he'd look at the WR core. In 2 years we'd have a top 5 offense. Not the gimmicky top 5 offense where the QB is running and throwing the ball incessantly because they're playing from behind.

It's not rocket science. Some of those coaches/GMs are dumb ex-players that got hit too much in the head. They are stuck in their old ideology. They can't see the bigger picture. They all believe all they need to do is "run the ball" so they can keep their job.

It took those morons over 100 years to figure the read option could be as effective as the play-action-pass. A very similar play, where instead of throwing it in a play-action-pass the QB run it instead. Pretty much it's a play-action-run. You notice that simple little 'innovation' was figured out in an academic institution while the simpletons in the NFL proclaimed it could never work in their 'sophisticated' league.

Remember how dumb those jocks were in high school? Yep! They're the ones managing your organization for you. You think Rivera was a smart thinker in HS? Lol

They won't crash and burn. Brady doesn't make the team. Put any average player behind that O Line and ask them to make a bunch of quick passes and they will succeed. Remember Mall Cassell? Brady is no elite talent. Brady is no Cam or Kaepernick. Brady is no game changer. Just lock the receivers down and Brady is meaningless. Put things in perspective people.

      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.
