Now that has been solidified this weekend against the Vikings is going to see if we are going to have yet again another long year or turn the corner and see the beginning of something special.
I do not want to see "We competed" or we lost but it was "respectable". This team is either going to be competitive and win the important close games(unlike every other year in the ZT era) or continue to look like they will get better at some point...just not now.
Will this Sunday's game define the season? Of course not, but it will be a true preview of what to expect from this team. All this offseason talk and speculation has come to an end, now is the time...or not.
Let's hope its not another long year boys and girls we've had enough of that.
Yes, we will see. I think it is a good matchup for us to start off and hopefully get a win and gain some confidence with these young
players. This is one of the youngest rosters in the league but we also have some good vets in their prime, Boyd, Mixon, Reader, Trey
Hendrickson, Sam Hubbard, Jessie Bates, Von Bell etc.
We have leaders to go along with the youth. We will see how this roster that Taylor has finally built will hold up.
I have a quiet confidence going into this game, something I haven't had in years. Put or shut time for Zac Taylor and company.
The trenches on both sides look significantly upgraded. No excuses.
