This is awesome! Look...this team won't win the Super Bowl. It may not even win on the road in the playoffs despite their record. Anyone who thought 10 quarters in that this was a Super Bowl team should bottle whatever they were high on. (Or consider that maybe they should stop moving the goal posts to justify an unjustifiable position)
This team was largely thought to be a 5 or 6 win team. A contender for a top 10 pick.
Instead....they won three games in a row on the road. They're 9-2 with one totally understandable loss (in a tight game with the NFL's best team) and a disappointing loss on the road where they were in it even while playing pretty poorly.
How is anyone grousing? Enjoy the fun football we're watching and enjoy the fact that this team had leaders in position that are turning out a 9-2 year with a team still transitioning to their (hopeful) best form.
I thought Sirianni was one step away from being fired, man was I wrong.
It's not their offense....that defense is a load. Davis and Carter are scary inside and their DBs can cover. This Eagles team could beat Detroit.
The DTs have been surprisingly good this year, but a gamebreaker would be nice.
Totally with you on getting a young RB and juicing up the center and CB spots.
Risner looks like he can run block, I'm good with the guards at this point.
I think this offseason is the time to move on from Bradbury.
I don't blame KOC for hesistancy calling short yardage run plays when we've all seen our center get forklifted as often as he has.
We won't, they're a better team than us and the best team in the NFL IMO.
But hey, if we keep pace and beat them in Detroit, then I'll eat crow on that.
And two on the bubble in San Fran and Indy. Look, you can't say we "can't" do something when it quite obviously isn't true. Frustration is fine, but the hyperbole and grousing is something else man.
You said "no running game"....did you not? The team has scored a touchdown in 60% of today's redzone trips and that includes the vet fumbling.
Criticism is great, but when it doesn't mesh with reality you should probably walk it back a notch.
We were supposed to be picking top 10. We're about to be 9-2 and we're up by 14.
Do you not see how hard it is to win, much less blow out teams in the NFL? The vaunted Chiefs are in a one score game right now with Carolina.
I see a lot of complaining, and to a degree I get it, but we're up 14 in a place that's been a house of horrors. And that's with our veteran RB fumbling at the 1.
Like....take a que from Ricky Rubio guys...."Change this face". We're about to be 9-2.
