Re: What do you really think?

I put above average. I'm enjoying this off season. I like what we did got the 2nd best rated pass rusher in the draft. I also love grabbing the best rated slot CB in Prob, up grade at MLB, added depth to the O line, and brought back Watson. I also like what we didn't do. I would have liked both Suh and to a lesser extent Jimmy G but I'm glad we didn't break the bank for either.

Re: What do you really think?

Overall, I certainly like where we finished last season vs the previous three seasons...

Mixed bag on the free agent signings; very unhappy with the draft management this year vs last...

Guess we'll find out this Fall if we did enough to get over the top or if the other kids did more...

I think things are lookin pretty good right now but they need to figure out why they struggled on third down last season. If they can sustain drives and play defense like they did last season, this could be one of the best teams in franchise history.

Puzzling for me too Utah. Bottom 3rd last year is not what I was used to. When teams took away Michael T, it was over. The lack of production from Willie didn't help either :rolleyes:.

We must do better in 2018 on 3rd down. I think the likes of Meredith & TreQuan will help though.

Return of Watson, healthier Josh Hill will also help; and keep an eye on Keith Kirkwood who could show dramatic growth working with Curtis Johnson...

Nobody was beating Philly that night. Nobody.

Not according to NFL Live this past Thursday on ESPN. They were talking about the Saints and how strong they look and they all felt like the Saints would have handled the Eagles had they had not lost to the Vikes.

The Eagles only looked as good as they looked because they were playing a weaker team than what the Saints would have fielded.

Oh, and was that your lone "Average" vote that suddenly appeared in the poll?
