It’s not over yet this team still has a small chance to get to the tournament and I for one want to see them there. We see with the NFL ridiculous Covid rules that a game can turn quickly. How about Saints in Dallas round 1 and 2-3 days before the game Dallas is hit with the same situation. This is a year you just never know and definitely a year you just need to get there and see what happens. Yes this ugly but you keep chugging forward and hope for the best.

UGLY THOUGH. UG-LY.

A liability

Glad it isn't just me who sees this. He's been very underwhelming all season. I know it's only year 2 but I've never been impressed.

He's a human turnstile at guard & approaching bust material for me.

Undrafted, 7th round guys can't help.

No one knows what type of player we'll get from Michael Thomas next season.

you dont know what type of player we will get from any of the draft picks too MT is WAaaaay more for sure than ANY rookie coming out. Humphrey and Callaway are good wr the Oline is the BIGGEST issue followed by WR then DT. Payton doesnt trust young guys vs vets hes going to go with a vet every time it takes him a little longer to trust younger players that why we still have Trequan or Kenny Stills or Ted GInn when we had him. WR corp isnt as bad as many make it out to seem def could use some upgrades tho

We've got a LOT of work to do on the Offense. Injuries, Covid, blah blah.

Going to be an interesting off season. At least it needs to be. Top to bottom, left tackle to right, WR, TE, QB. We're a mess.

I would agree but tonight having Book in there the whole time and throwing the ball more than running shows he still has that bit of ego that he is the QB whisperer. Maybe if the kid had more time to throw it would have been different, but who knows?

At the end of the day, with all that being equal, Winston had us at competitive. Take it how you want but no other QB in house is an option to start next year.

Jameis is option numero uno

I’ve been very patient with Ruiz, but I am officially 100% finished with him. It’s one thing to lose reps here and there, but he’s constantly allowing free rushers to run right by him like he has no idea what his blocking assignment is. He’s even worse than Peat. At least Peat can get out in space and bulldoze guys when he’s pulling or on a screen. Ruiz is just clueless and weak.

Take away the pick 6 behind a make shift line I thought Book did a fine job surviving the night. No fumbles on the sacks he took tonight , just holding on to the ball was admirable. No wr showed up consistantly other than Calloway. No run game to speak of( make shift O-line). He had no chance. I wouldn't evaluate Book on this game. I would like to see him not holding onto the ball when he could save yds. instead of taking a useless sack, that part is on him but totally correctable.

I have just not been optimistic about the team this year. I've been ore of a realist with an understanding of the team getting under the salary cap in the offseason as well as the talent we lost. We started our season out by running from a Hurricane, playing our first home game on the road, a 6 game suspension for Onyamata, Winston is lost for the season, and injuries have a an impact on the team performance.

However, I can't get over this team's non stop spirit and energy.


The future is so bright I gotta' wear shades. I gotta' wear shades. :cool:
