All of the pundits were saying we were going to be the worst in history. And now where’s all the chit talkers?
with a squad of just average guys and Fitz who is a stone cold leader, we are reshaping the team that was years of mediocrity.
All the Florez haters have to really look at what he’s done with a undermanned teamed. I think we have a record of guys on IT.
Really enjoyed this win.

There was a post in the game day thread that said something like it’s worth way more to find a coaching staff that can pull off wins win this talent rather than drafting 4-5 slots higher. I couldn’t agree with that sentiment more.

Worst in the league yes, nowhere close to worst in history. And it actually looks like Vegas might be correct with their 4-5 wins prediction.Pauly, mbsinmisc, Tin Indian and 1 other person like this. -

It's why I wasnt shocked we beat the Jets or Colts, we had a QB advantage and that goes a long way. Especially when neither team is particularly good to begin with.
The Bengals are a better team with Dalton, we are the better team if he sits.Irishman likes this. -
I just "feel" like the team has a new culture. Something that every coach that's come in has said they would like to change but never did. It's still early but with the 2 most guys on IR, we seem to keep putting players no one ever heard of into the game and getting the same or better results. Granted those results aren't wins which ultimately are the barometer that needs to be achieved but having a coach that can, on the surface, actually coach up players it encouraging. But still with a tinge of skepticism as we've all been burned before.

Part of the reason why people were so down on the phins was getting blown out by Baltimore and NE in the first 2 weeks.
Baltimore was supposed to be average at a projected 8.5 wins. Getting blown out by Baltimore doesn't seem so bad in hindsight, but at the time no one thought Baltimore was going to have a 13 win season and get 1st seed in the AFC. -

I am extremely proud of what this team accomplished this season and looking back, I wouldn't trade a few of those wins for Joe Burrow. I think the integrity of our staff finding ways to win down the stretch, much less NE in a must-win game for them at home, speaks volumes of what we can expect the next couple of years. I'm still a doubter of Grier and his ability to draft but that's secondary to what Flores did with a group of no-name, no-talent players who were playing like Super Bowl champs.
I dreaded this season when it first started but to be honest, I'm going to remember this one for awhile. It was special for a number of reasons and I hope it's year one of a long career for Flores.dirtywhiteboy, Hooligan and Finatik like this.
