Agree with all of this, and would only add that I think we saw Mitch’s
career die today. He’ll get cut in the offseason and at best Chase Daniels
it from here.

Almost no faith in this team rattling off 4 straight to have a winning

Losing and missing the playoffs does not make me happy, BUT now we can
stop the nonsense talk about both topics and focus on improving this team.
Mitch gave us one drive then made us all realize that playing Kenny is the
right choice. That said, there has to be cause for concern with KP missing
parts of 2 games due to being in concussion protocol.
The game plan to start was horrific. I am all for running the ball, but
the incessant run, run, pass system kills me. The Ravens have a great run D
and I understand that we need to establish the run.
You also need to get your rookie QB in a rhythm and no put him into non
stop 3rd down pass plays with an OL that does not thrive in pass pro,
especially when the other team knows the pass is coming.
The secondary has made it clear that they are jealous all the OL draft
talk and they want to be a priority. Not to be outdone, the front seven
decided stopping the run was optional. DL and ILB are doing all they
can to be put into the draft conversation. We sadly aren't 3 early picks
away from being a super bowl contender.
All the above stated I am still optimistic about the next few years.
Pickens is still raw, but a stud. KP8 will continue to grow. Austin can
hopefully add some spice next year and Najee ( NOT today) showed that he
can
still be a quality NFL RB. Warren is a legit backup. Pat is an
underutilized stud. I really liked Anthony Miller in the slot. If they can
bring him back I think the WR room will still be solid. The OL is growing
together, but
I don't see all 5 starting Day 1 next year.
The high priced defense has some studs, but overall has under performed.
Highsmith is entering a contract year and will be really solid for someone
else in 2 years. TJ will eventually be healthy.
We NEED a CB ASAP. I was all about LT, but can not argue Porter/Ringo.. in
Rd 1.
The playoff pressure is off. Focus on improvement. Hopefully enjoy the
last 4 games of Canada's tenure.
