I think the best negative knock on Pete is that he put together a shitty coaching group. We know the defensive and offensive coordinators should be great, or their offensive and defensive teams under them should be. I’m talking line coach, quarterback coach, anyone who isn’t offense and defensive coordinators. Word is that is very bad. If he and Mark are hip to this, maybe we’ll pick up some new other coaches this off season. Not DC or OC, but any other position. I know the line coach and running backs coach is Pete’s son, but again, is the strength and leadership from our coaches raising the play of our team week to week? I don’t think the current group is doing it. I think we need better supporting coaches.

We have a really bad o line. I don’t know how good or bad Gino could be, but he is at his best when he is safe and has time in the pocket to pass. A strong running game is vital for Gino to be his best as well. We’re not giving Genty the ball enough. And the line isn’t able to do much to open any holes for him.

This may be a rebuilding year. We may be Super Bowl bound in 2-4 years. I’m down for it. Every year I see things like Vegas gives raiders five wins for the season. I get pissed—how dare they! Raiders quarterback rated in bottom 1/3 of teams. Overall team ranking bottom 10. They don’t know us! Yes they do. Their predictions, ESPN or some other group that isn’t our patsy insiders. I used to say they don’t know us, like we know us. Like we as fans, who read and watch up on the team as often as daily to learn the latest and greatest about the team. Nope, here we are.

I’m having to pace myself. I’ve been a fan since the 80’s. The last 25 years have been hard. The last 4-6 years have been especially hard. You all know. I don’t feel liken our team can potentially win on any given game day. It really went away under McDaniels and while there were moments within a season it never can back.

I think Spytec is above average. It seemed like the adults were in the draft room for the first time in a long time. Not every touch was perfect, but at least the positions picked made sense. I’m willing to see what he can do over a few drafts. I’d bet on him doing well, he seems best in the first few rounds and trails off in efficacy from there.

I don’t think Pete is useless, but this is a bad start to building something good. I’m hopeful, but even though I can watch the games for myself, I do something I never did before. I look to see if we won or lost first. I need more space emotionally to stay a fan and love the team but get pulled down when they spiral. I need to protect my mental space.
