…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.
It has been fun. Sucks that AR got hurt, but I don’t think there is any reason to think he can’t stay healthy next year. Tua was basically told to quit football last year by all the media types bc of the concussions and he had been fine this year. As long as he protects himself he’ll be fine.
But for this season, yes it has been cool to see them compete, fight back and not roll over, the coaching difference has been night and day. And for the rest of the season? To quote Major League: “Well I guess there’s only only one thing left to do. Win the whole…f***ing…thing.”
