I will contend till the cows come home that 5 wins in a row in the NFL is amazing.
You and I both know the margins are razor thin..
I'm not over the moon with this season by any means, but there are a few positives that we could take from it...
Lol oh just playing devils advocate. I did not expect them to beat the Cowboys or Lions, so those were impressive wins

I hear yah, it's been a really tough fan year for all the reasons we know already.
The highlight for me? That Lions win at USB was just a master class in defensive pro football. And I fully expected them to lose in Dallas too.
Agree on both of em.

JJM's story is currently like a maddeningly addictive, but frustrating, TV show: every twist has another turn, every triumph has disaster casting a shadow on things, and the issues/complications come from many directions. Hey, the kid's finally starting but the o-line isn't quite together...he's trash for 3 quarters, then "dawg" for one, then damaged trash for the next 4...then out again...then Wentz gets broken...then, the kid comes back strong, before faltering...middle of the o-line can't get stable...kid's hurt again...Brosmer's a disaster...defense is mostly good, with some glaring exceptions...kid's back, best yet...oops, hurt...etc.
I really do think that the combination of the starting job, the new parent status, and bouncing between injuries was a helluva lot for a 22 year old. Now, he signed up for this and has to know his work has barely begun, but the fans need to realize that, too.
Given how many 'fans' are typically screaming to fire KOC/KAM, trade the world for Burrow/Jackson, insist that JJM's the worst QB ever...my ongoing concerns about the fan base's patience remains firmly in place.

And we knocked the cowboys and lions off when they were in survival mode.... so there's that.
