Positive Progress

[Icege]

As much as I want XL to be the X, he'd be a humongous Y in this offense.

Get a true X to triple with XL + Coker and that run game with JT as TE1 starts to look even more intimidating......

its funny how fast people are forgetting how bad Bryce looked so i'm happy with the team even with the drops

I’m having fun watching deep into the 4th quarter with legit opportunities to win.  Feels like ‘02.

I remember asking myself today, "Haven't I seen enough of this 'Cardiac Cats' sh-t in my lifetime?!"

I haven't forgotten that. It's why I sometimes can't believe what I'm seeing now. 

What the hell happened?

My minimum requirement is *make me want to at least watch the entire game*

They weren’t doing that for a long time.

Today was at least watchable and fun.  We shoulda won, the future looks reasonable now.

Does he though? Why not have the 'it' factory earlier in the games?

I haven't watched the past several games for various reasons so am just playing devil's advocate. From seeing posts this week it sounded ike the team had zero chance and the defense seemed to do enough to win. Better than getting murdered  though.

He has done everything he needed to do. He can't catch the ball,  but that's not his job.

He has been putting the ball exactly where it needed to be. INT today was a fluke.

He has been let down by teammates... especially on crucial drives. He's proving to be as clutch AF. Same with Theilen. Chuba has been, but then there was that costly fumble last week.

Game plan and play calls have been good, but Bryce is making poo happen or playing well enough to make poo happen but we've got too many guys that choke at key moments.

Not Bryce, though...he's got his head where it needs to be. He's the QB we need in clutch moments.

Doesn’t have the quickness, hands, or route running to be a Y

We should have and could have beaten the chiefs, bucs, and eagles. We should be on a 5 game streak winning streak.

I feel like that's coming, though. Next year we tear it up.

My optimism next year will no longer have to be based on blind delusion but actual genuine hope. 

[TheSpecialJuan]

Absolutely agree

It appears to be our lot.  My beard is already grey, I say bring it on.  This time I’m prepared.

My mistake. Meant the Z.

Letters are hard.

look at the south....Saints trending down.  Falcons trending down.  Bucs basically floating dead in the water with a chance to improve with Baker....but I'd rather have Bryce.

Our GM ain't perfect but he's better than his predecessors.  I believe we had a good draft.  And while we have hung with the Chiefs and Eagles, we have a great position in the draft.  Plus 2 4ths and 3 5ths.  

The future is bright.  Improved progress and we can compete for the division title next year.
