Like I said, players are ready to win now. Not a throw away year. LFG!! Bring that Lombardi Lance!
...and Lance is the best QB on the team for that.
Yep. So let's get it. No excuses.
What do you mean...no excuses?
B2B has been on a crusade all offseason long to get people to say that there are no excuses for our team not making the playoffs, and bringing that all back to our QB change.
I even said its entirely possible that we could have an upgrade at QB and be a worse team do to other circumstances, but that still wasnt enough for him.
My crusade, you're too much sometimes lmao
My believe is that this team is stacked and ready to win now. You don't agree? Do you find that far fetched? Do you truly believe that this team is worse than last year? Maybe OL? But I think we've upgraded secondary and special teams.
This team is mostly the same, with an upgrade at the most important position. So why should expectations drop?
That's all fine - but that's not how you judge individual players.
Team is stacked on paper - but they have not played a single game this year. It doesn't matter whether we look better on paper than last year - it's still to be seen. Not to mention - coaching staff has gone thru a big change, injuries are a factor, players contracts situation matters, and opponents will be different and therefore matchups.
Every year is different. You can bring the same team or even a better team - doesn't mean you'll achieve same or more success. Every players gets evaluated...last year's performance don't count this year. This is why we play the game...you have to start from 0-0 as a team and 0 stats/performance metrics for all the players.
This team is stacked on paper. You agree. That's what my expectations are based on. And we upgraded a few positions. including the most important position in all of team sports. Unless you disagree on that now? You're bringing up a lot of what if that have yet to happen. I'm basing it on hat this current team was able to accomplish and the upgrades we have made. As we stand right now. Seems like players agree based on Ekubams comments.
And Of source every year is different. Games need to be played. Duh lol
Do you think Raiders fans are lowering expectations because they have a whole new coaching staff, injuries might happen, contract situations, opponents will be different etc ? No. They are talking SB after upgrading a perceived weakness of theirs with Adams. And now they are talking SB. Yet, we shouldn't, even though we went to a NFCCG, because what if's like freak accidents might happen lol
im sure Chiefs Bills Bucs Rams etc all are lowering their expectations because every year is different. Cmon now
