There IS a different feel to things this year


Recommended Posts

I'm as critical as anyone, and our coach is still not a good coach and it will show up at some juncture.

 

But I just want to say this team is GOOD, and in the past when we started slow we were not good. We are sound on both sides of the ball... to dominating on defense.

 

Newton hasn't even played his best ball, and is off to a great start (6 TD, 2 INT).

 

We should be 3-0. I think we are going to have a shot to beat the next four opponents. We will be in these games. They'll be close... you have to hope Rivera stops taking his foot off the pedal... if he allows us to attack, attack, attack and not be afraid of losing agrressively then we will have a shot every week this season.

 

But trust me, this team is good. This isn't going to be a 7-9 or 6-10 like past years - I don't think. We can beat anyone on any given Sunday and the guys know it (Smitty saying we WILL make the playoffs, he's seen some good teams, knows what a playoff team looks like, plays like, and practices like).

 

Today; the way we won, not just that we won; was just confirmation that this is a different year... even if ultimately Rivera will hold our talent back.

No there isn't we lost both game before less than 7 same old poo. The Giants have some huge problems but we just beat them woo fuging hoo. We still suck and Rivera is not the right coach.

 

Agree, he's a loser. He'll eventually get fired for being inept.

 

But we have a legit shot to be 5-2 this year. And we in fact almost should be. In fact we should be 7-0 based on talent. Haven't been able to say that under rivera yet

at least 4-3, 5-2 would be nice but when it comes to games when luck is needed we usually do get it....Our special teams needs some work on punt coverage or something though....all those issues the first game and then today again.  I think our Def is starting to find themselves....that will pay huge dividends.....I've been saying it for awhile....we seem like one of the older bears teams....great def that either scores or puts in the OF in position to score short yardage plays...but we actually have  a QB and it seems our OC has finally realized some read option opens this playbook up a lot.....glad we have this early bye now...then off to AZ.....let get it to .500 and hopefully the saints lose a few on the way..KEEP POUNDING!!!!!

I can't believe this guy has the nerve to post this after his past statements and one just a few hours ago..

 

 

Aw look, you still have a hard on for me. I'm like so shocked that your worthless drivel is a negative parroting of one of my posts. I couldn't have guessed when I saw you responded to one of my posts that it would be some type of negative accusation.

I wish there was a "flying tomato" button over beside the "delicious pie" button for posts like this.

It isn't an accusation when you typed it yourself genius.

I've become skeptical of Rivera, but I'm going to say that on a positive note the team seems to believe in this staff. They know more about this staff than any fan and from what I see the players believe in him. Also, lets not forget that Gettleman himself said he was here to help improve everyone. I'm not so sure this team can't win 10 games this season and make the playoffs. Like some of you I'm not ready to hate on Rivera and push him out the door. As long as we win I don't care who the coach is. Yeah, it's early, but look at Harbaugh in SF, they don't look so damn good right now and everyone so wished he was our coach last year.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
