WTF... 5 or 10 minutes after taking the hit they call Fitz to the tent for a concussion review?!?! Seems a bit delayed no? What a joke of a system this is. If the "medical advisor" thinks he's concussed and needs to be tested, why the **** does it take THAT long. What a stupid system.
I get it... it was Brian Hoyer leading that Indy offense today. As of right now though, I'm sold on Flores and his staff. The job he's done with this group of nobody's is pretty impressive in my opinion. Sucks to hurt our draft stock again this week though. I dont see Cincy winning at game at all, they seem quite content with that. Taylor's a one and done there too IMO, so it's all by design for them.
I feel the same way- it's pretty amazing our current defense (without Howard) is playing way better than they have in recent years. I loved and hated that we won all at the same time, but at the end of the day I think I'm happy with this little win streak we're on. The Jets and Atlanta won today as well, so it's currently Cinci looking great for that #1 overall selection while we just kept pace with the other bottom dwellers. I think the win meant a lot more to us though given the roster and the long-term goal. Fins up!
Even some of the interactions with players on the sidelines you see with Flores are promising. Never really saw guys gravitating to Gase after wins. There was a nice momment there with him and Gesicki as it ended. Seems like the guys are really sold on Flores too at this point, which is impressive considering we're 2-7
I'm just sitting here staring at picture of Tua while the "Titanic" theme plays in the background.....
Tua's doing the same staring at a picture of the national championship trophy and Burrow & the Bengals!
It was the sports media and the fans who used the phrase "tanking ", not the organization. If their plan was to generate multiple draft picks and build a positive atmosphere for the future, then their ultimate goal this season is working to perfection.
A raid win against one of the better offensive lines in the league. I really like that every week we seem to get better. Very disciplined. Very few penalties. You can see where talent poor. But the people left have bye in to Flores like I haven’t sen in a very long time. Let’s hope it continues. I’ve been fooled before.
Thats funny you say that, theyve been much more successful than the Dolphins have been the last 2 decades... so pretty sure everyone thinks the same about us
Obviously the Bengals are going to get the top pick in the draft. Washington may be up next and then we will be there at three to take whoever is left of Tua, Burrow, and Young. I don't think we can go wrong with any of those three. We also have the ammo to move up in the draft if necessary. I'm not really worried about us winning a game or two here and there. I doubt we run the table. We got lucky against a Colts team that was down to their third string QB. The number one pick may not be ours, but the top three is still very likely. At least the wins will keep the "tanking" comments to a minimum for a few weeks. Got so tired of hearing that. Oh....and if you are whining about us winning while being a fan of this team, then you probably need to find another team to follow. I understand tanking for future purposes, but some of you lunatics want us to go 0-32 for the next two years and my God that just sounds ridiculously idiotic! This is a one year job in my opinion. Regardless of who our QB is next season, I expect us to be a lot better of a football team.
You guys are hilarious and have much more patience than me rooting for this team who will have 3-5 players still on this active roster in 2021.
I guess it feels better to be totally “screw this” then to be looking for the positives even if they’re remote. We’re not diluted. We get what this team is. But we’re fans and as Much as the fins have chit the bed, it’s our bed. Suck it it buttercup. Lol.
With Washington having just drafted a QB, they might go for the "sure thing" in Young. I think Tua goes #1 and that would leave Burrow for Miami -which works for me. We just can't afford another win, LOL.
I'm pretty confident at this point that we'll beat the Jets, the Giants and the Bengals. That's likely 5 wins. The Eagles and Browns are beatable as well...that could shockingly be 7 wins if all the chips fall the right way. And what if NE rests starters in week 17? That could be win #8. I think it's good we have the Bills next week. If we somehow eek out another W there, I might have to start a playoff thread. LOL!
I think the Eagles will blow us out.. and i feel the Browns will too.. they got too much talent.. I think we will be in the mix to win all the other games, including week 17 against the Patriots who will likely be playing their backups 4-12 i think will be the record
Which means we find a QB later in the draft or continue the run of 6-9 win seasons for the foreseeable future. Even if you believe in Flores, he can't win consistently and certainly not in the playoffs without a good QB. That said, I think we just caught the Colts at the worst/best time and even the Jets looked decent today. Bengals game is a problem though. The Pats will probably need the win against Miami to lock in the #1 playoff seed.
