Pass the Kool Aid - 2024 Season Preview

Man, while we didn't get a lot for Chase, I am fine w/ the trades. To come out of the trade deadline with 2 additional picks in the 1st 3 rounds is solid. Harris got ahold of the team so late, this is year 0, its the 1st pancake you toss out.

Next year we get:

1. The first true year of new ownership
2. A GM that will be hired with plenty of time to develop a free agency and draft plan
3. A head-coach that can actually move his arms
4. Top 5 cap space
5. 9 draft picks

Give me the kool-aid. Next year will be A LOT more fun than this year.

Yup. This is and has, since our victory over the mighty Cardinals, been a transition year. A transition to a place free of that fucking douche bag Snyder. I am super excited for the future.

I hope Sam continues to impress. Would make the transition waaaay easier if we have the quarterback of the future already on the roster.

Not bad

Look how the Lions upgraded their team last draft

Round 1, Pick 12 — RB Jahmyr Gibbs.
Round 1, Pick 18 — LB Jack Campbell.
Round 2, Pick 34 overall — TE Sam LaPorta.
Round 2, Pick 45 overall — DB Brian Branch.

All these guys have had big time impacts on the team. Remember we passed on Brian Branch who been playing at a pro bowl level, exact same position type as Quan Martin who been a bust so far

It can be done, and it helps when you already have a good QB. I think we do. Also, I can't help but wonder if better coaches would get more out of these players who were drafted, Martin, Forbes, Davis, etc.

I think it is a combination of both personnel decisions and coaching. When you take the wrong player and don’t coach him up it can lead to seasons being over in October. [emoji35]

Right after the game ends to the Cowboys on Week 18, I want Rivera and JDR to be summoned up to Harris' suite. This should be all that needs to happen (don't even need words):

I have come around to the idea that it's now too late to sack the coaches without a possibly devastating effect on the team. We don't have an Antonio Pierce, so without a clear replacement, we're better off waiting until week 18. Mores the pity.

I don't know what good it would do to fire them now other the brief satisfaction of doing so

My guess is Harris lets RR retire which means a new coaching staff and JDR will just file out with RR.

For what is worth RR in the past 4 years has dealt with DS and cancer, he deserves a decent send off. He generally looks and acts like a class act, unlike say Urban Myers

The only coach really in question as too what to do with him is EB
