ill tell ya, didnt take long to get apathetic this year. i was in the stands last week and it was par for the course this year. timely mistakes, timely penalties. We had many chances to put that game away and grasped none.
Now im in “show me” mode. ill watch tomorrow with no expectations, no excitement. Obligatory really.
We are the 2nd best team in the North on paper and we are not far and away behind the Lions in talent. Theres still plenty of time to get right, but im strangely not feeling it.
Aside execution, Kwesi’s initial draft looks bad. I believ Cine, Booth, Asamoah and Ingram all have the talent to be starters and if 2 of them are not soon , the draft will be a bust. Davenport appears to be a mess, resigning Bradbury seems to be a reach. Harry , the great warrior looks old now and was resting snaps while the chargers hit 2 deep passes , one for a score.
I cant sign off ona tank, i think its FANtasy, but this season is fallong far short of expectations
I'm with you. I've lost all interest in watching games already. I'll record them, and only watch if they win (I hate sad endings). B)
I agree this team has top level talent at WR, TE, Safety and even QB, but comparing our IOL and DL to the Lions is like night and day difference.
I only watched half the game live last weekend because it was my mom's birthday party and my birthday so spending time with family was the priority. We checked in during the second half and talked about how jaded a bunch of us are as fans. It is what it is. We'll see how the rest go but I have no expectations, there is a lot of mess to clean up and that will take time.

I emotionally checked out after the Charger game...
I'm used to it.

The Lions have superior talent in the defensive line, linebacker, and offensive line.
Don't forget about the great signing of Dean Lowery the guy that has minimal impact on the defense so far.
Don't worry, we only have another 5 years or so of Kwesi's ineptitude before the Wilfs might decide to fire him.
I don't know that he is going to get 5 years but he still deserves more time.

It's how the Wilfs operate. They won't make a move until the wheels have complete fallen off or the crowd is booing the team out of the building. And they won't want the scrutiny of firing their own out of the box hire after only two years even if it's to the detriment of the franchise. Good businessmen, good owners, poor decision makers when it comes to football decisions
I enjoy the NFL, so going to the NFL Redzone Channel is fun for me. I bought the NFL Sunday Ticket, so I'll watch the Viking's game but I'm very emotionally disconnected. I've just seen this same shit to often as a long time fan.
