Outside of Nabers and a few players on their defense no one scares me. You have learned the way of the Purple Force!

Outside of Nabers and a few players on their defense no one scares me. Exactly my thoughts. I'm just going to have fun this year as I impatiently wait for the next. I don't have any expectations, but I also think Darnold could go on a Baker-type run and we can sneak into the playoffs with 10 wins. We have all the pieces in place already and at worst we can significantly improve our team, hopefully at DT or Travis Hunter, with a higher draft pick. We win this one by two scores while our defense makes Jones look like a high schooler. Turner gets a sack and Harry gets a pick. 21-10 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YESS! football (to me, at least) is just a form of entertainment. it's designed to be fun. too many fanz take it as life and death. elation and depression.

Let’s be biblically bad or randomly make the playoffs with Darnold. You are an objectively bad fan if you think anything else. From a fan perspective, 7-10 is more record than 0-17. I dare anyone to say otherwise. Edited August 29 by skywindO2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I disagree, but it sounds like you wouldn't be open to hearing anything else so let's both hope the season goes well enough that nobody will be arguing whether the team should be trying to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything gets blown up and they start from scratch if they go 0-17. No thanks, I'd rather that go 7-9 with them looking like they are ready to take the next step once McCarthy is healthy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkenly typing hyperbolic statements while sheltering during the storm at the fair last night doesn't go well. Should be a better in there, add and replace where appropriate. I realize 0-17 isn't actually better than 7-10 I stand by a biblically bad season being a better outcome than a middling season but a random playoff run with Darnold playing hero ball being the best case. That playoff run starts with a win against the Giants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 I think if they have a middling record with Darnold at the helm, that means a lot more, especially when you anticipate what they could do in 2025 and beyond with McCarthy. Plus, could you imagine going 0-17 this season and then only having 3 draft picks? No thank you. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
