Just another season in paradise. Our bye week discussion is:

Are we tanking or are we just so fucking terrible, we aren't, but you couldn't tell by the play on the field.

WTF baby!!!!!

Yeah seems like this is a yearly tradition here at the WP... Sad

Maybe we can take a deeper dive into why we are 2-6

1. This was a sub .500 team last year and definitely wasn't ready to face a first place schedule this year.
2. The QB issue.
3. Free agent moves like Jackson and Samuel haven't worked out so far.
4. The QB issue.
5. Not getting enough out of this year's draft class.
6. The defense has been a big disappointment. Or maybe they simply weren't as good as we thought they were last year. Still a lot of work to do with the back 7.

QB Issue is #1 IMO, If we had a top 15 QB I Bet we would be at the very least .500. TH lost the game vs GB hands down. That strip fumble and RZ INT / not getting in were the back breakers.

Samuel should just sit the rest of the yr and wait to be 100% next summer.

CY and Sweat have not been very good, and both were supposed to be All Pro type players this yr.. Yeah the coaching has not been great but at the end of the day, the players have to step up and make plays. CY has had maybe 2 impactful plays in 8 games.. That is bad.

The LBs are garbage, hopefully Davis gets better but right now that dude couldn't cover Air.

Losing Thomas was also a huge blow, he was clearly the 2nd best target for TH.

I'm upset just like every fan, but I don't get the whole "I am 100% SURE that this team is terrible no matter what and nothing is going to change my mind and I know I'm right."

Maybe I have this approach since I lived through the Spurrier and Zorn years, which IMO where 1000% times worst than anything that has happened recently. And for anyone that wasn't around there, trust me, we were the laughing stock of the league then. To clarify, I mean that in terms of football ops, and not the off the field shit show.

I should have said the order is in no particular order. Just tossing them out there.

Yeah and just to add doing a rebuild isn't easy, Ron has just about turned this entire roster over now. There are going to be bumps along the way. Improvement in terms of wins isn't going to show in a nice linear fashion.

That said we can't be sitting at 2-6 again at this point next year. This upcoming offseason is huge.

Good list, I would add:

7. Injuries in the offense (Fitz, Logan, Gibson, etc., etc.).
8. Brutal schedule (although I don't put much stock into this)
9. The QB issue :)

Totally agree. I almost wanna put the kicker debacle on there too. I mean to go into the year with Hopkins i knew was a mistake and now as a result we have Blewitt. Other than 1 and maybe 7 if in fact they just weren’t that good who is to blame for 3, and 5? 2 wasn’t anyones fault because Fitz got hurt. That move will probably never be able to be judged good or bad. I was in favor of it. Maybe there were other avenues like trading up for Jones?

But the 3 and 5 are looking like poor decisions. Not trying to blame Rivera cus im not sure how much he had to do with them. Thought he had total autonomy though.
