I’ve been saying playoffs and I’ll stick to it, this team is better than people think.



I dont know man, that is a loaded stance with so many variables. Is Haskins the guy? Will Guice stay healthy? Will McClaurin take a step back? Who is our Tight end? Is our O line capable? Is our secondary capable? Is Payne gonna bounce back? Is our mlb group decent? That is a whole lotta ifs. Id say we need at least 4-5 of those 8 questions do be a definitive yes for us to even sniff the playoffs. Namely Haskins and the O line. If those two areas crumble we are screwed.

Is Haskins the guy? YES

Will Guice stay healthy? NO, but Antonio Gibson will.

Will McClaurin take a step back? NO, he'll be even better.

Who is our Tight end? I don't know but he might be on the team already because ST's offense uses the TE in creative ways.

Is our O line capable? Not yet but we'll add a vet LT and Charles will start his career at RT, leaving only LG as a question.

Is our secondary capable? I think it can be.

Is Payne gonna bounce back? He'll be fine. The new system suits him well.

Is our mlb group decent? You got me on that one.

That is a whole lotta ifs. Id say we need at least 4-5 of those 8 questions do be a definitive yes for us to even sniff the playoffs. Namely Haskins and the O line. If those two areas crumble we are screwed.

Bottom line, I think we'll be better. How much better? I have no idea but I can't envision us making the playoffs.

I think we will be better too. But 4-12 is better lol. Not a high bar there. If all those questions pan out in a positive way, and injuries aren’t a huge issue again than we make the playoffs. I could also see us with a top 5 pick again next year. Guess that’s why they play the game...we hope [emoji1696]

The only way this team makes the playoffs is if the NFC is garbage and I just don't see that happening. I think the team will be better than 2019 of course but I'd say 6-7 wins is about right

I'm with you on most answers.
If we do sign a stop gap vet LT à la Donald Penn, I'm fine with our line. Wes Martin at LG looks good to me.

Not sold on TE but I think it's one position you can do one season with a subpar TE group.

Although if you have a quarterback who isn’t quite there yet, a sub par line, and say a rb that is oft injured TE becomes ultra important.
He can become not only key in blocking schemes but a safety valve for a quarterback who is under duress.

I look at our best chances as being the NFC East champs. The 4 teams all play the NFC West and the AFC North. For all 4 teams that is at best a 4-4 split, No NFC East team is beating more than 1 of the following: SF, Balt, Arizona, Seattle, Pittsburgh.

You factor in our odd two - Detroit and Carolina
vs, GB/NO, Atl/Minn, Chi/TB
and with any reasonable improvement, we come out ahead on those two games.

So you are left with the 6 division games.
Philly week 1 is awful but then we get giants, dallas, bye giants.

That will be the critical stretch for division chances.

Bottom line for me is that we need to see a lot of growth against the division opponents this year, and I expect RR to do that.

TE definitely is a crucial position and we saw how having mediocre blocking TEs hurt our running game.
But to me there's still a difference between important positions, and positions where a bad level of play just kills your ability to build anything.
OL in general and LT in particular are of the latest.

Just watch, TE is adequate not great, I’m sure Gibson and AGG will be incorporated somehow. OT’s are my question mark, will be better than last year, I’m very confident in our running and receiving game. This team will surprise most, not me. Playoffs!!
