I am also hoping the D is improved by the return of healthy Wilson, Turner and Hall.

Pratt is absolutely fine in his old role: LB2, 75-80% snaps a game.

When Logan went down, he played those extra 10-15 snaps (all in coverage, basically) and he was exposed for being slowish and/or out of position. Logan plays those snaps, we see less bad Pratt and better defense on the whole from our LBs.

And I would agree that the D would be better with all those guys (who's Hall? You mean Hill?)

100% on Tobin, the drafts have been so bad that he’s setting this team back. I mean Myles Murphy just completed his second season and hasn’t recorded a single sack! And don’t get me started on the Jermaine Burton debacle. Everyone knew what a head case he was and we still took him. Jalen McMillan was sitting right there.

The offense cooked with Zac! Why are people not acknowledging that we had a phenomenal year on offense? Because we don't call trick plays? Because we have a terrible oline so we can't do a lot of things that look flashy on-screen? If we had a 20th ranked offense, you are all correct, but FFS, the logic here is just out the window.

3-3 against the North this year, potentially could've been 6-0.

2-4 last year, 3-3 in '22, 4-2 in '21. Looks pretty damn normal and .500 to me.

One score games mean a ton of things, have as much to do with coaching as they do 50 thousand other things.

Terrible post after terrible post.
