    I definitely feel better about our first 2024 first lost than 2023 first lost. I think many of the problems today are fixable and can improve.

    They can't get any cohesion on the OL, too many damn injuries.

    I’m feeling very optimistic for the season. We are decimated on offense with injuries and having Highsmith out hurt the defense.

    Take a look around the league, especially the AFC. No teams are being consistent as of yet. Yeah Chiefs are 4-0, but 2 of those wins were very questionable with the officiating.

    I was convinced this was a wasted season with Fields but did have some hope having Wilson. I'm doing a 360 on that. No way in hell Williams leads us back like Fields did yesterday. If the damn O line can get some cohesion we can do some damage. Would love having another receiver. Do not trust Pickens head space. Got to get Warren back. Not sure on his status.

    Hey, we are on track for a 12-4 season;)

    I predicted Bengals to win AFCN. Changing that to Ravens at the quarter mark. Predicted 7 wins for us. Thinking 10 possible.

    Chiefs wins are pissing me off a bit. I've watched them 3 times this season and IMO they should be 2-2. Chargers did a decent job on Mahomes yesterday.

    I was happy with the Chiefs beating the Bengals with the refs help. But total bullcrap on the no DPI call last week that sealed the win for them.

    There is no dominant afc team right now. Sure the Ravens plowed the Bills last night. But next week the Ravens might look like total poo.

    Our roster depth is much better. Granted the injuries have
    got to cease but all other teams would have same problems.

    Authur Smith is light years better than some guy from Canada.
    I do think, after the first series, they should have tried some deep shots downfield.
    I think they've been keeping it conservative, to help Fields and I think they stuck to that a little too much.

    You do know if you do a 360, you are right back where you started? I believe it’s a 180, but im old

    I'm more hopeful than last year as well, but that's almost all because of the QB situation. I couldn't wait to get rid of Pickett and I was afraid we'd stick with him way too long. I don't believe Fields nor Wilson are a long term answer, but I'm fine with that for now. I look at teams like Cleveland and Jacksonville who are locked into bad QB's at a high salary and I'm just glad not to be them.
