Yeah, I care more about how the team performs and if the game plans look sound. It's acknowledged that we dramatically lack talent(I know people get upset to hear this) but it is actually very true. We are a team lacking in overall talent. That will manifest itself several times this season, most likely.

The sky will not fall if that is the case. It just is what it is.

Some people also need to use this year to step up and become the talent we need so it could grow...theoretically.

We deffinatly need to figure where the talent is and isn't this year. That is way more important than wins or losses IMO.

Think this game will be a shootout - don't think it's likely we'll be able to stop Burrow, Chase, and Higgins from lighting up the secondary with the still anemic pass rush, but their run game doesn't scare me at all and their defense is just as bad as ours looked week 1 and 2.

If the Panthers are to win this one, it's going to be something like a 31-28 close game. Our best bet is to be able to get an early lead and then play keep away from Burrow by bleeding clock with Hubbard and short Dalton throws moving the chains.

I bet if Young was out there and we won the media would gush over it. Dalton will get no such love though.

I don't think it is as much about us/Dalton as it is Burrow/Chase/etc. Those are NFL centerpiece star players. They will obviously always get much more coverage.

Look at the shift from our coverage once Bryce wasn't the focal point. He was the only guy on our roster that had anywhere close to national visibility and that is from college/#1 overall draft. It isn't anything he has done in the NFL.

Dalton is giving me Delhomme vibes right now in terms of who he is at this point in time.  He’s a journeyman QB with the tools that was in a backup role and elevated to starting. He’s a gunslinger playing with house money and knows how to get it done. Not saying he is not flawed but that attitude can carry a team. 
 

Dont know if we win or lose or if Andy can repeat last week but the team is on the way to having an identity which has been missing for some time.

If we win, the media won't be talking about how good we are, but how BAD the Bengals are.

Who cares? I don't the 15-1 season all they did was talk about weak schedule and how the Cardinals were better.

 

Heck at this point I'm happy with the games being watchable and exciting.   

If we keep winning and can sneak into the playoffs I'd be jumping for joy.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol

      How is this supposed to work on college? How are you supposed to recruit with a one year interim coach?

      You must have researched him to know this--I said I would research him.  And there are trades, etc. during the draft--you really need to know the full board.
