No he is not. When he has been I don’t see what I expected anyway. Oh well. Maybe one of these years he will prove me wrong.

Mathis also.

I think they sneak into the playoffs. They were one game away last year, and by all accounts, this should be a better team than last year's team. I can't think of a position group that isn't either the same or expected to be better based on the offseason moves. Have to go out & prove it now.

8-10 wins is what I see. 9 probably gets you in. 10 is pretty much a lock. It would be sweet to get double digit wins the 1st Snyderless season.

But this year is already a win. Starting in 2024, I expect to actually have a chance to make some noise in the post-season.

Draft 7 offensive lineman in 2024 if that's what it takes.

I didn't know Obada was also put on IR?

Good news guys, seems like the players have learned their scripts so they're ready for week 1.

Chase still not cleared to play? SMH

Can we consider this guy a huge bust at this point?

[CrustyRedskin]

Chase Young is the toughest looking paper mache sculpture i have ever seen.

I am optimistic of doing better than last year purely on having a better QB and competant OC this year. That said, I can understand others who think they will have a losing season as there were as many or more close wins last season as there were close losses, could have been 11-6, but likewise could have been 6-11. You are what your record says you are, a 500 team. But if you can't be optimistic going into a season when will you be, personally I couldn't follow a sport without some promise of getting better.

This is a team that looks good on paper - Howell notwithstanding.

The issue is we always have this optimism at the start of every year that things will improve over the previous year and instead we start slow, we waste the first half of the season getting our shit together, win a few on the backend and finish the season average. It's the Rivera way.

Hopefully this year will be different but if we get off to a fast start in the first 4 games it will be the first time in years that has happened.

I hear you. This year feels different to me though, and I'd rather be optimistic about our chances, now that the stink of DS is out the door, than not.

The stink of DS is certainly out the door, but due to the timing of it all the new Ownership group didn’t really have a chance to put their stamp on this team. It is basically the same team, staff, and FO as it would have been had he stayed. We have a ton of cap space for this offseason and what I think is a really good young quarterback in the wings. Let the new owner have a year to observe and an offseason to work with. EB and Sam automatically make us more competitive and a playoff birth certainly isn’t out of the question. Im certainly not laying money down on it though. Next year at this time I probably would. In the meantime ill hope Sam balls the fuck out and we shock everyone.

No doubt our schedule looks daunting. We still have RR who is oblivious to many things, chief among them offense in general and, in particular, QBs who you can win with and QBs you cannot win with. So, I believe that these two things, our schedule and Ron's coaching deficiencies, were and still could be our primary inhibitors to having a winning season.

That said, it's just not predictable what kind of problems an upcoming opponent might be having when we meet them. Some games might turn out to be more winnable than they look to be on paper. Also, the division games are different. They are usually knock down drag out games that are often won by the underdogs. So, I don't worry much about the schedule.

As for the offense, I'm just hoping that Ron leaves the offense to EB - period, end of story. I believe in EB. I think we'll score significantly more points than last year under EB. Also, essentially, Ron can't screw up the QB decisions this year even if he wanted to. That's because I believe in our QB's. Sam will shock the League with his competent play this season and we have a proven backup in Jacoby. There is no turd of a QB for Ron to float out onto the field this season.

We have a deep, talented defense, very good STs, and we'll have a much improved offense, IMO. We should have a good season. Now it's up to the players and coaches to make it happen.

I am feeling pretty positive. I don't see how we are worse than last year as of right now. Ask me in November.
