Quick turnaround by Lovie?

Could you imagine if they signed Vick and Sproles too? They would be stacked on both sides of the ball and we'd be really worried about them. I know Vick will be injured for some games, but what he would bring to that offense would be scary.

I really really wish they had kept Greg Schiano another year.  Lovie Smith is an actual NFL head coach that can win games....NFC South will be tough.

 

I wished that the Lions would get Lovie Smith.

i think they'll work their way back up to .500

 

they'll have a top 10 D and a bottom half offense. 

 

nfcs is going to be tight next year. falcons record gets better as does the bucs, but we and the saints see some regression. i don't see two teams making it to the playoffs next year. I've got this knot in my stomach that says we have a winning record, but miss out in the playoffs, mainly because i think the conference stays strong but the nfcs levels out and there are no back to back winners of the division. i hope we are the first, but it will be hard to make that happen unless the offense can figure out how to put more points on the board than what we did the last half of the season.

Carolina is definitely taking a step back next year....no doubt about it.  Panthers are losing too much talent to be 12-4 again.  Also, the Bucs will be much better and the Falcons should be more competitive.  I just hope the Saints completely fall off the map, but that'd take Brees hitting the wall of age.

Bucs will be competitive this year, no doubt. Their defense is already a strength and as we know, if a strength is strengthened it can go a long way. If they stay healthy on offense and add a weapon or two, the Bucs will be dangerous.

I completely disagree. We have no idea what will happen in the coming weeks and the draft. The only huge loss is Gross, the rest are pretty much just fill-in players that we signed last season to fill the roster who ended up playing well. We can definitely do similarly to last year through FA and we can do well in the draft and improve in areas we need improvement. Could we take a step back? Certainly. But will we definitely? No. Our entire front 7 will stay dominant which takes the pressure off of whoever we have in the secondary and with our young DT's having a year of experience, it'll be even better. Our defense will surely be top 5 if not top 2-3 again. On offense if we can get solid OTs and draft WR or get someone like Nicks, we'll be improving. Why does everyone think that we're definitely going to take a step back? We don't have Hurney any more and we've got Ron Rivera and DG, who are actually smart.

12-4 will be hard to repeat for sure. I imagine our schedule we again be tough having won the South. But are we really losing that much talent. We aren't really losing any core players. We're not losing anyone that was worth much more than a 1 year deal last year, we will find others to fill the holes.

 

It'll be interesting to see what we do have come camp.

 

Mitchell, Munnerlyn, LaFell and Ginn are really what we're talking about. Gross will be the big one but he'd be going anyway. Smitty too if that happens, hopefully not.

 

We stayed relatively healthy bar G, that'll be hard to repeat also.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
