yeah, if it happened, great.. and maybe I doubt we'll make the playoffs regardless, so I'm not putting much stock into the upcoming year. There is a lot of change coming up and retooling this franchise.

for once, fans need to be patient..

Titans (home)

Lions (away)

Colts (away)

Bucs (away)

Falcons (home)

Texans (away)

Bucs (home)

Saints (away)

Even winning all the homE games, winning 2-3 road games would suffice. Unfortunately the schedule is hard.. So you're probably right man.

They would not keep the current sched. They likely would rework it to 6 division games (each team home and away) and 2 nondiv games (1 home 1 away).

If they really do play an 8 game season, then they better rework the schedule too. I'm sure there will be teams that only play 2 or 3 home games while others will have 5 or 6 home games.

So you'd rather not have a season at all?

How could you not care about making the playoffs, even if it is in 8 games? Playoffs are playoffs man.

I'm just saying it would be a crappy year for football and winning, what, five games would mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

An eight game season is a failure by the league, and by extension a failure by our team.

The only way I would really see it as a positive is if we won the whole thing. Which I don't think would happen.

I understand where you're coming from.

Still, the experience itself would be very good for the team. Especially with the rookies and 2nd year people. They would definitely grow more with all this if they did somehow make it to the playoffs. Even if for one game. Experience is always a good thing.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a failure either. Especially if you weren't expected to win 2 out of 8 games and actually made it into the playoffs to begin with.

Right and I can see what your saying, but I just think an 8 game season will consist of more randomness than anything. There will be little time to prepare and get everyone on the same page, so I think games will be won by individual players making plays and not team chemistry or concepts.

I'm just saying that I would take more positive things away from a 7 win team in a 16 game season because of the sample size and having more time to develop a "team". I think it would mean the offensive and defensive systems are sound. Winning 5 or 6 games in an 8 game season could end up being nothing more than luck. I wouldn't take it to mean a lot.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
