Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Sure.

Watch the Washington 2nd half and the Pittsburgh 1st half (before the last throw). Hitting guys, making plays with his legs, scoring TDs.

He has shown the potential. Needs to hone a lot of the little things.

The bigger failure is watching the same shotgun spread get blown up by a 4-man rush over and over and over and over again.

The o-line has been bad but we've gotta do a better job at putting the offense in favorable positions. That falls on Stefanski. Stefanski shouldn't be close to being fired and rightfully so, but next year is it. You got your franchise QB, you got the opportunity to shake up the defensive coaching - figure this thing out.

IMO, order of concern for offense is: o-line >>>> Stefanski >>>> Watson.

Elite QB play is everthing in the NFL. No player in the NBA is worth what an elite QB means to a team in the NFL.

Even aftewr today, Watson is looking promising, but isnt the qb we traded for....yet. I expected him to be rusty, and I am not 100% sure he will be who we need come next year, but there are lots of things looking promising. We had nothing to play for, and our offensive line looked awful...7 sacks and it wasnt on Watson, just horrible line play. With this staffa and players I expect that aspect to get fixed.

Querstions for next season? Is our WR core good enough? Will we add a true legit #2 or expect DPJ to take that spot? Will we improve the center positon? LT? Will our guards return to form? Can our RT stay healthy?

We will see, but despite going 3-3, what Watson gave us after 2 years off was encouraging, but we will see.
 
I wonder how many plays we ran a streak route for Watson to throw deep. Hardly saw that but we definitely need a speed WR.

He'll have a full offseason.
 
The season had long been over, but I still felt the deliberate attempts to fix the game for the Stoolers was 100% bullshit.
Thank goodness the Dolphins won. No playoffs for those assholes.

Now for the positive:
- 4th place schedule next season. With a hopefully retooled offense.
- Full season of Deshaun coming up, with minimal distraction.
- Opportunity to clear house of the weak spots and focus on DEFENSE.

Defense alone would raise the stakes of the Browns. Jacksonville is in the playoffs because their defense bailed out an all-SHIT affair from their offense. 49ers are cooking up their own "Boodyrella" story. BOODY has never played with a weak defense and that middling Bucs team (that the Browns beat) is in the playoffs. You basically have to be Mahomes level to overcome defensive deficiencies.

Let's get it, and fire Joe Woods.
 
If Lovie Smith gets fired by HOU would you want him as DC to replace Joe Woods?

Why not? He runs the Tampa 2 as good as anyone. HC experience. Seems very respected by his defensive players.

He's about as bland and uncreative a defensive coach as you could possibly expect. So the exact problems we had with Woods, when he wouldn't adjust his scheme, would happen under Lovie Smith.

What year is it where "he runs the Tampa 2" is looked at as a positive?

Tampa 2 and Seattle Cover 3 are dead and buried.
