Still mostly doom and gloom here. I don’t think it’s necessarily stems from this last season as much as the entire culmative results of the past quarter century.
When I think back at this season, I am going to be proud of this team. I think this season was a bigger success than 2016 considering the fact that we didn’t blow home field advantage. Our very young team won a playoff game and lost one on the road to a more talented team. We need to put together a full season so we can have one of those top 2 seeds since even though it hasn’t worked out for us lately...it is the best route to where we want to be.
Being at 3-5 at the halfway point, I never felt as disgusted with this team. After all, football is only a source of entertainment for us and I’m glad the team kept me entertained and didn’t implode when they had every chance to do so.
When I think back at this season, there is a lot to feel good about.
This season will be remembered for the Jaylon Smith coming out party. Truly one of the best stories to come out of the league on a long time IMO.
The wolf howl...LVE is our best defensive first round pick since Demarcus Ware. Can you believe how bright the future looks for our LB core?
The return of Randy Gregory. Give him another offseason and a clean head and he will be our best pass rusher next season.
Chido and Xavier—-if they progress from year 2 into year 3 like they did going into their sophomore seasons, they could be pro bowl players.
Byron Jones—-no he didn’t finish hot but all pro in his first season in the position isn’t too bad.
Amari Cooper—Look at how good he was without training camp or chemistry with our QB
Gallup—-The sky is the limit for him.
Zeke—-he proved last season was a fluke and also became a force in the passing game.
Dak—-even his biggest supporters almost wrote him off halfway through the season. At the very least, we have hope he can take another step going into next season.
This is a young team and we have proven we can play with anyone in this conference. There’s a lot to feel good about with this team. There’s still a lot of work to do and nobody is satisfied but considering the youth and potential on this roster, we should be in a position to take another step next season.
I agree with your assessment overall. It was a good season. We just need a killer instinct. And maybe some space eating DTs.
