…that no matter how this season finishes, that it was fun? Most if not all of us came into this season with little to no expectations. Rookie quarterback to develop, questions elsewhere in the roster, our O-line an unknown after how they played last season. All pressure was off, nobody expected this team to be any good.
And then the JT drama starts. And AR gets injured.
Yet somehow despite all of it, we’ve been… I’ll say not great perhaps. But we have been GOOD.
This team, that was supposed to be bottom feeding this year, fighting for a top pick, is instead in the mix fighting for a playoff spot. Even with our backup as starter. Even with the rest of it.
Last season was miserable. Almost to the point of making me hate the game. This year has reminded me why I love it. So no matter how this season ends, I’ve had a blast watching it. For the Shoe.
I think it’s all gravy at this point. Nobody outside of this fan base and organization thought we would improve from last year. It seems silly to think that in hindsight given the shit show that was last season, but the reason I want to see a playoff push happen (even if we just miss the playoffs) is because we’re doing it with our backup QB in Minshew. Makes me even more excited about what we might be able to do next year with a healthy AR!
70% of this sub said we’d win 5 or less games.
Well, we had a rookie starting at quarterback. Expecting more than 5 wins is a little crazy.
