Shout out to the Nat'l media

[CamWhoaaCam]

Saw a few analysts on the big networks ESPN and Fox give Bryce some love for his play yesterday. They even have our team some credit for improving and not being a automatic loss against every team.

 

Stuff like that let's me know we are indeed slowly changing the narrative. It all starts with the QB and Bryce is giving us a pinchers chance to compete with any team. This roster is limited from a talent standpoint, but we are fighting and making the most of our talent.

 

We are improving folks slowly but surely. Stay strong, we are slowly creeping out of the worst franchise in football stage.

 

Keep Pounding!

That's great and all, but those of us who have been around a long time know not to put stock in or care what the national media and narrative is surrounding this team.

There's going to be flashes where they love us and periods of time where they hate us and a lot of time where they completely ignore us.

For the most part, none of it is due to actually knowing what is actually going on here. And the same is true for half the league.

National media is fickle and they turn the narratives on a dime when they care to even pay attention.

What you'll come to learn....maybe...is that the national media is always talking out of their ass. Good or bad narratives, they talk out of their ass.

It's best not to care what they say. Trust your own eyes and don't look to the national narrative for validation.

I know the Nat'l media is fickle. Still it's refreshing to finally here them say some good things about us. Even if we are losing games we are least making them competitive. It's good that they are at least noticing that.

Most of them are just trying to vindicate themselves for salivating over Bryce at draft time. He’s had a couple average games with a couple of above average plays and they’ve seized the opportunity to ride the lightning while it strikes. Like lightning, though, I see the hype as short-lived.

Yes, it is nice. I just wouldn't expect it regardless of how we're doing. Id almost rather they didn't pay attention to us at all. That way when things come together and it all clicks (which it will), no one sees us coming.

Cool, maybe we'll be able to get touchdowns called as touchdowns here soon.

given our attendance for home games this will be true

This is the only time they’ll give us love, play well but lose.  Just the way they like it.  Small market means small ratings.  They hate it when we’re good and they have to talk about us instead of NY/LA/Dallas.  It just chaps their collective asses.

ESPN had us 26 in their power rankings. Felt nice being above 6 teams! 2-3 upgrades on Defense with a healthy Brown and let these young guys on Offense keep developing we are headed to the teens next year!!!
