Is this really Super Bowl team?

Realistically?  I mean sure a lot of good signs but this is not a Super Bowl team.  Otherwise, this is fan dreaming right?  IMO...way too many flaws here.  Coaching all the way down.  Just being realistic here.

Personally...before the season I never considered us a serious player to win it.  Just not there yet.

Aren’t we similar to Green Bay?  We “could” because of our QB and “might” put it all together and make a run but that isn’t realistic.  These teams doing something new, different that gives them a dominant edge win it.  And yes, Belichicks team is always in the mix with that QB and he is constantly changing.

This team top to bottom is good...but not Super Bowl level.

Personally I am going to enjoy the season...relax knowing we are flawed but knowing our owner will get us straight eventually.  It will be a while but keep pounding.

In a year I expect this team to look amazingly different.

I like your optimism and I want to believe we will get right eventually but we've already used up a lot of cam and Luke already. How much longer do they have?

I think y’all could be if y’all could somehow manufacture a pass rush. The pass rush (or lack there of) last night was just pitiful and will continue to hamstring the back 7 if nothing is done about it. I know y’all secondary has its own problems (like ours), but getting at least a little pressure on opposing QB’s will mask those deficiencies in most situations.

5 years at least. at that time luke will be 32 and Cam 34. More worried about luke than cam though, I think Cam will be with us for at least another 7 years. Ideally we extend him for 5 years after the 2019 season.

I am not nearly as pessimistic as many are here. 

We are a playoff team and if we can get things going defensively we could make it.

That game the other night was terrible.  It was also a short week and the Steelers did a better job of preparing for the short week than we did.  

In the playoffs you have, at minimum, the regular week to prepare.  In the SB you have 2 weeks.  I think our next game defensively will truly tell the tale.  If defensively we perform well.  Thursday night was not us, if we get hammered again.  We will be one and done.

I do think our #1 objective in the off season is Pass Rush.

we're somewhere in the 6-10 range of best teams i think.  we could beat anyone, but we could also lose to anyone.  i do think the packers are a good comparison.   we really needed to do something when cam was on his rookie deal.  i don't think we're coached well enough to win now that he's off it.  we're not going to build a dynasty with this staff. they're not capable.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I wrote a long dissertation on who they would pick, breaking down the draft by needs and player availability and concluded (at that time) that we would go WR in the first.  Being right is humbling and dignifying.  I predicted that the Panthers would draft Matthew Golden.

      First of all, DJ had 788 yards as a rookie And second, KB was playing with Cam the year before he won MVP, and while Olsen had the exact same 1,008 yards as KB that year, next on the list was Cotchery with 580 and then 4th was Philly Brown with 296. KB had 73 receptions on 146 targets that year, THAT'S why he had 1k+ yards, not because he was some dominant WR, there were no other WR options on that team at all. If you say Thielen and Olsen are somewhat equal, particularly in role and ability, then XL/Coker >>>>>> Cotchery/Brown. Yes, T-Mac very well could get there, and this isn't me hedging on the ability of my guy.  It's that we should in theory have a lot of good receiving options and in his rookie year, I can see how T-Mac can have a good season but still not get to 1k this year because of it. In year 2 when we lose Thielen and he has that year under his belt, then yea, I'll say right now, I'm expecting a 1,200 yard season at minimum from him in 2026.  But I just think expecting 1k this first year given the weapons we have and being a run first offense, isn't fair to T-Mac. Again, just look at MHJ for what an uber talented rookie is likely to do when there is another legit receiving option there.  Nabers and BTJ were the only games in town for them last year, Puka the year before had a lot of time as the only option there while Kupp was hurt. If that happens to us next year with Thielen/XL/Coker, then yea, I'll then say T-Mac should get that 1k mark, but I'm not going to make my expectations based on expecting injuries.
