In Scot we trust?

We need DT, MLB, S, pass rusher, RB, WR. We'll be fine, got cash and picks. Quit panicking, Scot ain't Vinny.

How many did we win this year and last year? How about the previous 20+ years? Scot is one of the best current GM's, you want 20 years of shit go get another one.

To answer your question - 9 and 8. That is very on par with exactly what this team has done over the past 20 years. 9 times we won 8-10 games. 9 times, not 3. Again, the whole "the culture around here has changed" is really nice, and really bullshit.
The culture around here is what we saw last night. Shit.
You think our coaching staff is championship caliber? I don't.
Our defense certainly isn't.
Our offense is great, except in big moments or inside the redzone.
Our kicker sucks.
What exactly are you seeing that Im not?
Do not just throw out names like Crowder, Scherff, etc. Every team ever has a few nice pieces out of 53.
I know I know next year right? Or is it 3 years again? Give Scot 5 years?
When this team becomes a legit contender to win it all than I will praise the "culture " round here.
That was a poor excuse for a team last night. Nothing has changed. Not yet.
This season is a microcosm of the last 20 years actually, mediocre team with the propensity to look really good and really bad, with bad rearing its head more often than good.

Punch that is progress. We're a competitive football team and that wasn't the case in 13 and 14. We were bottom feeders during those years.

Agree with this. We are entitled to be pissed off, a day after a tragic loss. We're not a contending team yet -- BUT we're darn sure much better than 2 years ago when Scott took over.


Scot has missed on things, but still early, and more good than bad:
1) First big move -> bench RG3 after 3rd preseason game. Took guts at time, right move.
2) Setting tone - whether right move or not, letting Amerson go was a signal to players. More accountability. Team culture also seems more cohesive, less rumors, and although not perfect (because of losses) - is better than years past.
3) Better special teams due to better depth. Verdict still out on kicker
4) Draft
-> Very good: Crowder, Scherff (always arguable Williams would've been more needs-based)
-> Has potential: Sua Cravens, P.Smith, Kelley (UDFA)
-> Too early: Doctson, Fuller
-> Injured/traded: K.Jarrett (was v.good), Austin Reiter (looked good after traded)
-> Probably backups: ?Kouandjio, ?Spaight, ?Ioannidis, ?Sudfield
-> Busts: ?M.Jones
5) FA
-> Good: J.Norman, V.Davis, T.Nsekhe, M.Foster
-> Average: Blackmon, R.J-Francois, Carrier, Pierre thomas
-> Below average: Whitner, D.Goldson, ZHood
-> Fails: K.Reyes, Bruton, Toler, Ihenacho, Jeron Johnson, T.Knighton, S.Paea
-> Injured: Galette, C.Culliver


Let's give him 2-3 more years, we're definitely moving in the right direction. We still had a winning/competitive season this year --despite playing more better/winning teams. We just got unlucky all the teams in our division got much better overnight.
