6-10 here we come.

I bleed red and pewter as well, but I just do not see any possible way this grinning idiot at head coach does anything to get this team over the debacle we saw last year. And yes, both sides need to STFU. The organization had opportunities to take care of this. Baker had opportunities presented to him that he rejected. Time to play the games and let the chips fall where they may.....which is going to be a complete gutting at the end of the season.

.500 would be nice

we weren't even that last year

for most of last year, we were one of the worst teams in the league 

Especially on defense and special teams.

QB played as well as the one who won the Super Bowl.

Baker had one day, Licht had the next day to give the owners script.

On to Cincinnati. 

 

The offense experienced a significant decline.  First 6 games, they were tied for 8th in PPG.  They dropped all the way down to 22nd for the last 11 games....ranking 17th overall for the year.  

You are also correct that the defense and special teams sucked but the anemic offense surely contributed, right?

Sure. Especially if you can no longer protect the QB and exposing him to multiple shots per game, he can’t overcome the defencies of the other two phases of the game.

Or, he could (now) just be a bad QB that isn’t able to also overcome poor play structure, poor play selection, no running game, etc.

nobody is saying Baker is a bad QB.  All three phases of the game were ass for last 11 games last year.  Special teams was ass all year.  Defense bad, but honestly would have been 0-6 down the stretch if not for their play in Arizona and Carolina games. Yes...3rd and 28!  i hear ya.

Baker being the "most important position" on the team, certainly takes the heat (except for this board) but rightfully so.

On to Cincy as you say!

most of us just use Zyn now, it’s cleaner, and the boardrooms don’t have spitoons or spit cups to help them make assumptions. Talk slow, think fast, make money.

Only thing I shot this weekend was back to back 73’s. 

Now go run along and be a good little corporate cuck and report to your VP. 

That obedience and servitude will do you well in the long run.

oh making up golf scores now.  Let me guess, when you shoot with friends, you dont sniff 70s...just a bad day ehhh.  Impressive none the less as i'd doubt youd lie by 20 strokes.

Look at you with that VP title!

You’re almost important!

Referring to golf, my GHIN says I play off a -2.1, so there’s that. 

You can always swing down to GA, NC, or FL,  bring your money, and find out the fun way.

This conversation confuses me...

It's like 1/3 subtle politics 

1/3 golf 

1/3 football

Only way that changes is if Bain and Scott rookies ball out

Totally fair point and I agree. 

Also, not a good plan for success.  Rookies are rarely true season changers. 

I think Bain and Scott are going to be home runs for Licht so there is a chance this team takes the next step due to these two rookie defenders.
