What are you talking about? Slye is awesome.

Put all his chips on the line.

Who do you think starts it?

LOL ...and hopefully 6 TDs for Baker.

I'm shocked. Believe it or not, some people honestly didn't see this coming.

Meh. As everybody said, if you divide by number of years in the league, we are middling in this metric, better than the rest of our division. Winning superbowls is what matters, not playoff wins. On that metric, we are tied for last in the league, with 0.

I'm interested to see too. McAdoo use the same formation all the time and was pass heavy. That hasn't been our MO.

7 Winnable Games: Browns (wo Watson),2x Atlanta, Seattle, Giants, Steelers, Lions Potential Upsets: 2xSaints, Cards, Broncos, Ravens, 9ers (essentially rookie QB) Major Upsets: 2xBucs, Rams, Bengals (superbowl hangover?) If you look at the NFC, my best guess for playoffs are Bucs, Rams, Cowboys and Packers as division champs, and the Eagles, 9ers and Saints are the my best guess wildcard teams. If we win the winnable games, beat the Saints once and Trey Lance stinks it up, we could sneak in a wild card spot. 7 wins doesn't seem crazy at this point. Playoffs look unlikely but remotely possible. Then again Baker took a team that was 1-31 and won 7 games. Baker can be a good QB, McAdoo can be a good OC. I know many here think our D sucks, and we lost 2 of the best D players (Reddick and Gilmore), but I believe the return of Horn, CJ's improvement, and the additions of Woods, Littleton, Smith, and Ionnnitis could make for an above average D.

Yeah RR liked to do that with several players....

Just as I said. As for wins, I hope their coming our way.

The staffing, drafting and FA recruiting between last year and this year is night and day. He's addressing last years mistakes: J Brady, OL, Sam, even Fletcher. Its not that Rhule hasn't learned, its people refuse to acknowledge any of it.

Great emphasis on reporting and analysis, less bitching. Good cast. The O you're describing is radically different from what McAdoo did in NY.

Like this? This is one of the better team's I've been around. I think our culture is really strong and that comes down to Matt and the coaching staff and what he's built here. And Fit has said 3 QBs.

This.

As long as you're consistent.

It appears our D is getting carved up more in training camp this year. Is that just me? If so, the question becomes, has the O improved that much or the D declined that much or both? I haven't heard, are we running the same formation every play like McAdoo did in NY?

You are right. All that matters is winning.

Maybe. That could apply to every media quote we repeat over and over in the huddle.

I found it interesting that it was unsolicited. Instead of answering the question, and he complimented the coach. It was totally unnecessary. I didn't compliment him. Fit did.

This is one of the better team's I've been around. I think our culture is really strong and that comes down to Matt and the coaching staff and what he's built here.

Yup.

Both him and Fit has said 3 QB's. Do you think that excludes PS?

You're right, we should be careful what we wish for. We're in the same situation again, and Tepper will again chose the next coach.
