After the eagles win when I said our success was not repeatable, our ints were more from luck .. i got called a poor Thanksgiving guest who sticks his dick in the mashed potatoes.
But knowing we will suck, knowing Haskins will struggle, knowing we wont be able to run the ball, knowing OCs will be able to game plan around our front 4 .... allows me to enjoy the small nuggets.
Geron and Wes are not long term solutions (maybe Wes) but me being happy that at least they are identifying their assignment and not get beat .5 seconds after the snap is a win ... bc I thought they would be beat off the snap repeatedly. Im happy to see the O line sometimes push back a DL and seal some lanes. I did not think that was possible.
Low expectations + enjoying the small individual player successes = a good mindstate to have in a dead year.
Now next year, if they dont spend cap on actual starters (LT, CB1, FS, WR2, LB) I will be much harder on them. This year, with covid, new HC and everything .. I understand. Its a lost season before the first snap was taken.
Next year .. lets go. I will have raised expectations.

Agree with all of this. Except sticking your dick in the mashed potatoes. One because i knew the win was fools gold also and two because i love mashed potatoes.
