Well well well guys.....
Let's get one for good measure: DUUUVALLLL!!!!!!
What a season. We started awesome, then sucked, then finished amazing. One of the most emotional roller coaster seasons of all time.
I think this season proved what a disaster Urban Meyer was. My god man, there really was no reason we should have been bad enough to pick 1st overall last year. That "man" was more destructive than Hurricane Katrina. Doug and his crew showed us what it means to have a true leader and professional as a coach. I believe Pederson right now is the best coach this team has ever had. He's innovative, players love him, and more than anything else, he gets his players to play to their potentials. Kirk, Zay, Engram, Trevor all had their career years in one season with Pederson. He's my vote for COTY by far. One of the most stabilizing and weird feelings right now though is knowing that we are going into an offseason program with our coaching staff in place and returning. Pederson took a franchise in which he said he wasn't even sure players would show up in the offseason to playoff winners. Growing and coming together every week until we went on our longest winning streak since 2005! We swept the tinhorns, ended the tacks streak against us, won in LA, snatched victory from defeat like 7 times. This team has a feeling about them that I don't think I've had about a team. I was a little too young for the 90's teams to really know anything. And it started with hiring Doug. Thank you: Doug, Shad, Tony, Trent, Jaxon Deville, Tom Cruise, 8lb 6oz baby Jesus, and yes, thank you Urban for being so god awful at being a human being you brought this team here.
Trevor showed us all he’s the man and our franchise QB. I stood by him the entire time, I said last year and early this year, he actually regressed under Urban. So he was starting this year with Doug worse off than if he were a rookie. You hear all the time about bad coaches who “ruin” QBs. Not Trevor. This man weathered that storm, put in the work, and made damn sure he was going to become the QB we knew he’d be. Doug and his staff never wavered in their faith of him and we started to see that at the end of the year. He shook the narrative he couldn’t lead a GW drive, he shook the narrative that he “wasn’t a leader” especially staying in the tunnel last weekend. Did you hear what they reported Doug saying about his development during the KC game? He said “he’s about halfway there” THIS IS HALFWAY?!?! What?! I’m super excited to see this offense grow with a full offseason with the same playbook, chemistry with the WRs, OL, coaches, etc. I don’t think it’s really sunken in how much an offseason of stability will do for the development of these young players, Trevor especially. He’s had some growing pains as expected, but I can’t wait to see him next year. I think we get spoiled with the ideas of Brady winning so many SBs and Mahomes winning 2 already. The greats in this game win 2 or 3 SBs in their entire HOF careers, I think we need to remember that. Anyone expecting Brady numbers will forever be disappointed, even from Mahomes.
I’m looking forward to what we do this offseason and it’s going to be weird waiting so long on draft night. How we handle this cap situation is key to long term success, I think we’ll be ok. I truly believe we have that combination of ownership, coaching, QB that teams try to find. Can’t wait to dominate the AFCS like Indy did for so long with Peyton. Our schedule next year looks to have plenty of high profile games on there, including some potential primetime matchups with Cincy, KC, Buf. With Trevor ascending, I think we’ll finally get some primetime fame. Bummed we couldn’t knock off KC this year, already can’t wait for next season. It’s time to…. Steal The Show. IWATJ!!!
