MWil23 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Here are some things I really want to see: 1. Our young guys develop and look legit. 2. Us be competitive against teams that are obviously better than us and maybe pull off an upset or two. 3. Us win the "winnable" games, or at least 80% of them. 4. Us finish somewhere around 6-9 wins 5. Most importantly, Hue and Sashi to be back for the 2018 off-season with a full head of steam going forward into next year.

We had the Ravens in their own end zone twice when picks were thrown. We'll beat the Colts this week and you guys won't be going all Chicken Little anymore.

My thought in general was - that game was a top to bottom disaster, but we only lost 28-14. Thats the kind of game I'm used to losing 42-3, so theres progress somewhere even if it looked terrible. I made this post because of the next 4 weeks. They are cupcakes. They are teams that are either tanking of self destructing. I'm not asking us to beat the Patriots or the Ravens or the Steelers. I wouldn't expect someone to be able to hook up with Jessica Alba if they didn't have the game to land a 450 pound lady with self esteem issues. Thats what our next 4 weeks are. We just have to not f up. If we can't score one of those in the next four weeks then things are going to get terrible. Its inevitable. Get to 2-4 after 6 games and I think we get through this alright. 0-6 and I don't see a chance in hell this experiment gets a third act. My post wasn't actually intended for you. Was addressing the ones that were high as a kite or josh after the picksburg game and wanted to fire Hue after the bummore game. Although I respectfully disagree with the next four games determining the fate of our guys. We have to remember we are on the same level as the next four opponents. So these games should be more competitive, doesn't mean we should win. We're also extremely young and extremely inexperienced. We are also starting a rookie QB who should be in his junior year in college. We're installing a brand new defense. I think most in here predicted 4 wins. This year is going to be LONG! I fully believe Haslam will give these guys the whole season, another offseason and most of next year. Anything less would be stupid. I feel good about Hue. I think he's the best coach we've hired since Butch "gut feeling" Davis. Lets do it right for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooks1957 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I surfed through this thread and didn't see it - but that doesn't mean I missed it - but I saw last night that Chuck Pagano has ruled QB Andrew Luck OUT for this week's game.

In no way, shape, or form am I expecting 9 wins. I just see that as a "wow, if everything possible goes our way (LULZ Cleveland) we could win 9 games" (Maybe Pittsburgh has their division/first round bye clinched and benches everyone, we win all of the Jets/Colts type games, other teams have key guys get hurt, we don't, etc.). I should have said 5+ games with the potential to win 8+ next year if we really hit on guys last year, this year, and next year in the draft/free agency.

matt27j Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It's not unreasonable for Deshone to stop the critical turnovers. Nor is it unrealistic to to expect to win the trenches every game once Myles is back and the OL is ironed out. Those two things make winning any game possible. As usual it comes down to the QB. Our WR's aren't good per say but Duke and the TE's can make plays. All they need to do is make a few plays downfield and Higgins can find his niche in the slot. This IND game will be another challenge. Sheard and Simon can give Shon fits, but there are going to be openings downfield and some running lanes. Defensively Hilton and Moncrief are going to be tough to handle but the real key will be Doyle. We've been getting burned by TE's since last season and it has carried over.

MSURacerDT55 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 This will be a great opportunity to start to perfect the little things, go back to the drawing board and build confidence. If not, this coaching staff is toast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns1987 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 We have no WRs and a HC that doesnt like TEs or running the ball much. Not very confident about any game, especially with a rookie QB that was thrown to the wolves like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastercheddaar Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I feel we should win these games if we are making any progress towards becoming a decent team. If we go 3-1 and end up 3-3 on the year going into Tenn then I will say we are on the right track. If we lose more than one in these next 4 weeks then well it might be back to the drawing board. Colts BenGals, grounded jets, and the texans are top 5 draft teams this year. that is all mastercheddaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir. As we are looking at them as probable wins. The Brownies need to come out firing on all cylinders and make sure it's not a game by half time. I need to see Kizer move the ball with his feet a little more. He has the athletic ability to move the chains running when he isn't finding an open receiver.

I prefer to look at that game as an outlier, and I think at season's end that's what it will prove to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
