kramxel Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Looking at expectations before the season: Definitely No! Looking at how the season went, with all the injuries and all the issues this team had structurally, playcalling wise (on both sides), and how poorly they managed the roster through all those injuries was, then... Yes they surpassed my expectations by reaching the playoffs.... Only for all those issues I mentioned to catch up with is, in a epic colapse. What happened doesn't eclipse how much this roster underperformed and how many glaring holes it had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrantikRam Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I mean even with the injuries, had to be the most disappointing of all. Worst record from a Super Bowl champ since god knows when... It was so bad that despite the reality that several teams haven't won a Super Bowl or haven't won one in so many years, I still basically checked out and watched the games, but didn't have much energy to engage beyond like I usually do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected a 2-3 head-scratching wins more but also expected to get demolished way more and a bottom 3 offense and defense even with Smith, so definitely better offensively at least. Also they got the top pick so very happy about that. I still have a ton of questions about the team, coaching, etc but happier than I expected with the outcome. I’m convinced they’re winless this year without JF1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the season was a failure, especially considering we won 12 consecutive games before the NFCCG and did it mainly with the 3rd string rookie QB. However, eventually this team needs to break through and actually win it all. Getting close is not good enough. Your expectations were the super bowl? Like, start of the season with Lance? Or did you change them as the season went on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you change them as the season went on? Yes to both. I figured Lance by season's end would be a bigger playmaker and more effective than Jimmy and the team would be able to make a run at the SB. And then after we got CMC and the way we started to look? It was definitely SB or bust, even with Purdy at QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluhartz Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Bengals nope I thought they were going to get it done this year... still a good year, but I wanted more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjapirate Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Eagles were better this year than I thought they'd be. I was expecting 10-11 wins and maybe a divisional play off visit. Jalen Hurts emergence made things a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 My expectations changed 1/2 through the year, so I'll have to say No unfortunately they didn't. That said, it was a pleasant surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one score losses were essentially entirely on him for being as close as we were. But the Texans win was won more despite him, carried by Herbert. The 9ers game was just a mess. Patriots win, Jones and Zappe combined for 3 ints, but Fields had a good game too. Hard to tell if a backup would’ve been bad enough to erase the advantages.
