It's frustrating to wait like we have, finally get our guy, and then have the rug pulled out so that we have to be patient... again. But this was expected and makes the most sense.
Season can still be interesting. I'm not ready to concede that the rest of the season will be results like last Sunday. Really, as bad as the JAX game seemed... it's easily explainable and remarkable how different things are if we don't have 4 QB turnovers (3 of which were uncharacteristic, unforced, and avoidable).
Now we get to see what our rookie HC does to alter the gameplan.
Before the collapse in '21, remember how fun this team was to watch/root for? Beating the 49ers on the road, spanking BUF, toe-to-toe with TB, beating NE when they were #1 seed...
That was with our QB throwing for like 180yds a game or whatever it was. So this can still be fun in the moment, even though it's not where we ultimately want to be (with Richardson). We've got good players that I like, so I'm still interested.
