fuego Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 ...but this is why you don't lose your mind over a win over the 49ers and you're 3-3, now 3-4. I saw some of the most ridiculous posts/threads I've ever seen after that win that irrationally believed we were a lot further along than we are. 'Could we beat the Bills?' etc, etc, etc. Man just be realistic and pump the breaks already. At least try to act like you know something about football.

BDS Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) We're not as good as we think after a win, and not as bad as we think after a loss like today. Realistically, this team is exactly what their record says that they are, just very average.

ThisIsNotFantasyFootball Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Don't use our depleted secondary as an excuse. 9ers were missing over half their defensive starters and the mantra was "no excuses." So which is it? Just now, andrews31cain21 said: So you are aware that we were down to our 3rd, 4th, and 5th string CBs in this game??

booty-mane Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I mean you can use the same logic for this loss. The truth is the weakness in our run strategy was exposed - if we get a pass heavy team that starts fast, we can't catch up. Our secondary was also decimated. Its ok to be excited after a win and we are young team with a long way to go.

Realistically, this team is exactly what their record says that they are, just very average. I still think avg is a good thing for this team right now because thats a **** of alot better than what people think we should be talent wise and with as much dead cap as we have right now. We are literally fielding a team half full of mediocre or worse player because of our cap space problems. We by all rights are playing above our talent level and the coaching staff has done a very good job imo with what we have. We do have some very good players still but we also have some cast offs from other teams that not many people wanted. When you add the injuries starting to pile up it's not gonna be easy to compete with teams like Cincy who are talented enough to go to the SB last year.

I’ve said in other threads this offense is too one dimensional with the golden child under center and good teams are gonna clamp down on our run game BDS, fuego and Chitown2ATL_Falcon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
