Your opinions on the 2018 season

Its obvious that this organisation is going through the biggest overhaul that it has ever seen has since its inception. In fact. I can't recall any franchise that has gone through what is happening here. What do you see for next season? Can the players come together and focus or will all this have taken it's toll?  Opinions please....

Jerry Richardson situation could've bothered them but nothing else really should.

The uncertainty with the new owner and GM SHOULD make certain position groups work harder. (ex:Dbs) If the new regime doesn't like a players fit or think a player just isn't good they'll probably be cut or moved. And that's the only thing that I see could worry anyone.

Just now, Jon Snow said:

This team as you know it will not exist after this season.  What to expect?  Don't get your hopes up.  

oh....2019? that's a whole other story. depends on who the owner and GM is and how well they can rebuild. if it somehow manages to be hurney....i'm not feeling it. this next year, though? we got some incredible pieces still in place and have better management of the offense.  we gonna be alright.

Everyone is auditioning for a job, coaches, FO and the players.  Everyone should be nervous.

Homer glasses off I would say the jury is still out on how this coming season plays out.   Everyone and I mean everyone is auditioning for a job this year so you would think that they go all out to impress, right?  That's a lot to wish for.

It’s hard to tell.  All of the players are on vacations and probably getting as far away from this mess as possible.  This team had a history of thriving during controversy and distractions. Which that says a lot about the locker room. I think as long as Ron is at helm, he will keep the players focused.

You know the inconsistency of this franchise. Something will make us finish 8-8. We play the AFC North, so we should get wins against them. New Orleans may fall off but Atlanta will certainly rebound. We also play the NFC East. The last time we had this schedule we won the division at 7-8-1. It may take a year to get acclimated to Norv's scheme. However, if we don't address our secondary or our receivers, 8-8 sounds about right.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
