Yeah we lost our franchise qb but it started mid season 2020. By seasons end he was 11-29 with a pick 6 in his last ever playoff game . Then hit too much wasaaaaaa.
This last season he lost to and was outplayed by Ryan Tannehill , Kirk Cousins , Taylor Heinike , Colt McCoy , nick Foles . Got shut out as the crap defense gave up 17 to Arod. Worst 3rd down completion % in the league most of the last 2 years . That’s what we traded and swindled Denver with , not the top 5 guy we had for 8.5 years here .
We will win 10 games next year . Donkeys will win 7 or 8. pFF had them between 8-9 wins after getting the greatest ever QB in the history of football .
. None of that crap matters . There has never been a coach like Carroll in this situation. Gonna shock the world .

Seriously, First of all, to win 10 games we have to have a decent defense and we don’t, second were transitioning to two quarterbacks when they had their shot they didn’t have what it took. Forget that you to say that we can get 10 wins, that’s just ludicrous completely ludicrous. Russell Wilson has worked harder in this off-season than he’s ever worked, he has a much better offensive line, four good wide receivers, and the donkeys are going to have the best defensive line in the league. But you want to continue to demean Russ knock yourself out till he reaches 10 wins and we reach five.
Stats are facts . Betting lines are guesses and set by bookies to make maximum profits

Nobody had the 99 rams either with a garbage castaway Kurt Warner forced into the lineup . Jeff Hostetler won one , Brad Johnson, Trent freakin Dilfer . Run , play defense , don’t turn it over .
When I look at this team there’s more than 5.5 wins unless we simply get nothing from our quarterback . If we get 2021 Geno and or Locke beats that we’re winning 10 minimum Vegas be damned . Maybe I should make my own wager .

We haven’t had franchise qb play for the last year and a half but we’ve game planned as if we did . At the end of last year we had franchise play out of our no longer franchise QB because Penney was running all over everyone . This year we are playing the hand we are dealt. Haven’t tried it in 10 years . Really looking forward to it .

a 2nd year OT let alone raw rookies who have never experienced the explosiveness, quickness, power, speed, and perfected techniques that these and other DE's we are
going to face have in their toolbag of tricks. And then there are the stunts and other games the DL uses to confuse that work against seasoned Pro's so just how well will
they work on inexperienced players?
It's a tall order for any pair of OT's let alone raw rookies and it's why I think we might end up signing a veteran OT at some point to help these guys along.

A lot would seem to depend on how our schedule falls, which we'll find out tomorrow. If we face some teams early with a great pass rush, say if we open with the Rams, Saints, and Niners, we could struggle. Hopefully, we'll draw some relatively weak teams early, like the Panthers, Giants, Falcons, and Jets, and give our new blood some time to get adjusted to life in the NFL. Imagine being a rookie LT and having to face Aaron Donald in your first game as a pro.

Ah, IC. That makes more sense.
But there's only what, 3 games that are determined by the same place finisher?
