Your adjusted season record....

We need to have a post of all the whiners … that way when we start winning, we can tell them to stay off the bandwagon and STFU

I would like to apologize to @mrcompletely11

 

He said all offseason to lower expectations for this team because we are rebuilding. I was blinded by the new coaching staff and completely ignored Tepper hired these people. I was fooled and im now changing my expectations. We just don't have much on offense at the skill positions. Fitt patched up those positions with guys that are just JAG's at this point.

 

I think we will have a bottom 5 team this year. Sucks we are going to gift the Bears another quality player.smh

I also accept your apology, seeing as I was telling you the same thing all offseason, many many many times

I thought we would win somewhere between 7-9 games, but now I'm not so sure, especially as the start of this schedule is brutal and we could end up starting 0-6 after how we looked today

Yeah I was wrong on that I will gladly admit when I was just flat out wrong.

 

This team is lacking serious weapons on offense. It will be a long season unless they find a trade for somebody.

3-14 seems realistic at this point unless some serious progress occurs.

I still don't hate our skill position players outside of not having a true #1 WR.

Sanders looked solid today outside of the fumble and Hubbard looked like a totally different player as well.  Hurst looked better than I was expecting, now I'm wondering if he's going to be the safety valve that I was expecting Thielen to be for Bryce this year.

I think Bryce just looked a little rattled at times today, something I don't think will be a long term issue but something that isn't a big surprise for a rookie starting week 1 on the road.

I think Chark will be good for us, when on the field which I only expect to happen for about 8-10 games this season.  I'm also not going to judge Mingo off of his first game either, combine the first game nerves for him and Bryce and I'm not concerned about him today, he'll keep getting better as the year moves on.

TMJ was supremely disappointing today though and I'm not sure he's going to be much more than a JAG at this point, we'll see.

still 10-7, it's a marathon not a sprint. It'll take another month+ before I change my thoughts on that, no matter how bad we may look the next few games.

I don’t think you need another month

It's not even the lack of weapons. If you watch high powered offenses they scheme their guys open. We run a very vanilla, easy to defend, offense with a rookie QB that is having a much more serious issue with field vision than we want to believe. I saw him jump several times on throws last night. It's hard to get zip and be precise when you can't step into your motion.

At the end of Free Agency with the hype train, I had us at 10-7 9-8

 

Now without Horn

molasses WR 

A RB bust signing

 

I see this team as 6-11 5-12

 

It is what it is and hopefully the team shows something down the road but this is my adjusted team record

I had us at 7 maybe 8 wins if things broke our way.

 

Now this is 5 win team and heads should roll if we dont make it to 5

Starting with Fitts. I gave him a bit of a break last off-season because of Rhule, but turning down the Burns trade AND not getting a new contract before now is a huge misstep. Add in 2 panic picks in Corral and DJ Johnson that we traded up to do, and now this poo show we have on the field, this is a fuging joke. If we end up with 3-5 wins, Reich should be out also and we need to make a serious run at Ben Johnson or Evero if he's interested in staying.

4-13 / 5-12. Only potential wins I'm seeing are vs Texans, vs Colts, at Bears, vs Bucs, and vs Falcons . We'll probably drop one of those, but maybe we surprise and win a game like at Bucs, at Saints, or vs Packers.

Reich-led teams historically never start well so I don't feel confident in the next 4 (at Seahawks, vs Vikings, at Lions, at Dolphins). Frankly feels like we're staring 0-6 in the face. Maybe 1-5 if we upset the Vikings at home. 

2018: 1-5

2019: 4-2 (actually started 5-2 before ending 7-9)

2020: 4-2 (best season, finished 11-5)

2021: 1-4, finished 9-8

2022: 3-5-1, fired

2023: 0-2 and staring 1-5/0-6 in the face

5-12, Alot of bad teams this year so give the Bears the 5th pick. I'm hoping for 7-10, just trying to be honest with myself.

anything less then 5 wins and I doubt anyone in the fanbase would care if Reich and co were fired especially after all that big talk in the offseason.   Throw crazy money at johnson or whoever and get some young offensive blood in here
