the curb ur enthusiasm thread, bring it down a notch sportsfans....

Realism does tend to fly out the window fast 'round here.
It was just the Jets... and as Green once said, "They are who we thought they were." Difference is we did not let them off the hook.
We could easily have turned the ball over three time Thursday nite... Baker's strip... Duke's fumble... Baker's obscured endzone pass. But we did not... and in no small part our not losing the fumbles was due to inspired hustle.
We came from behind twice and our D sealed the deal... twice in the waning moments.
The change in our energy was palpable... and I do not see that changing in the short term. I know I am upping my win total for us.
Playoffs? I actually think they are possible now.
SB? Ummmm... no... not this year anyway.
I've been harping on "learning how to win". Well, we found a way... Mayfield Way. And now that our players have had a taste... they gonna want more.
You basically mirrored several of my posts with this, so obviously I totally agree. We got some luck, maybe it's about time. Carlos Hyde is GOING to fumble soon, he holds it with one hand too often. Baker Mayfield WILL throw some INT's, especially over the middle. A savvy defense will bait him into those "tight window" tosses, and be ready to grab it. However, the difference between Baker and other qb's we've had is Baker WILL learn. I believe that. I think our kicker will cost us some potential games. He didn't exactly inspire confidence with his performance, did he? The Banana Kick FG? The squeeze in extra point? Although his last extra point was perfect and his last kickoff hasn't LANDED yet, lol. He was JUICED boy.
We aren't a complete team, and we knew that. Special teams will continue to dog us unless a miracle happens. Baker WILL get hurt if he continues to take those kind of hits. But hey, with a little luck, we can win more games than some think. I now believe that. Oakland doesn't have a pass rush now. This next game will be VERY interesting from a Baker perspective.

Yup... we're in lockstep.
Think our Kicker had a few butterflies early? He settled in late. Now we have to see how he handles his first miss.
Incomplete and not deep... injuries are going injury worked to our benefit play a big role in determining our record. So far we've been hit where we are deepest, LB and DB.
And with apologies to Tyrod, where we are thin, QB, our one ding worked to our advantage. But at some point we'll have some time missed in the OL, and at RB and WR.

My point is that none of those teams that are really any stronger than the Saints in the Steelers were supposed to be or maybe again so none of those teams are any bigger of a challenge than what we’ve already faced. I don’t think we can match up against every week sister in the league so
Oh, I totally agree. I was just kind of saying it'd be nice if we had a FEW teams that weren't playing well. Specifically the Lions, Cardinals, or the Bills. Lol lol

SO you think Baker is going to fail or succeed based on how enthusiastic fans are? WTF?
Of course that is not true. That is what many Steeler fans think.....and we know that they are the stupidest fan base in the NFL.
It is great to be enthusiastic about your team, but it doesn't even amount to a cabbage fart to the actual outcome of games.

I know it's an improvement over the last couple of years, but I still can't fathom being happy with a four or five win season. Ever. That's the record of a garbage football team.
I'd be happy with 8-8 (8-7-1). That's not a SB team or even a playoff team. But it's a respectable record. And it shouldn't be too much to ask.

Hey 8-7-1 is better than .500
As for the record... still hard for me to see a winning season, because I look at the schedule and after next week it gets nothing, but harder.
Tour, I'll get back to you after the Raiders game. We win there (BTW, the betting in Vegas is heavy on the Browns, the line dropped by a point) assuming that happens, the only game I'd pencil in as a certain loss is the Chiefs game.

Both are Browns wins. Ma Homos will schidt his pants against the Browns D. The reason the betting in Vegas is favoring the Browns is mostly because the bookies tune in to TBB to read my posts. Stan and I gt a lot of requests to visit the sports books to give pointers in Vegas. Mark it here, dude, the Browns will beat the snot out of the Raiders. 38 - 10

Ya know, I was just doing some preliminary scouting for Da Ray-dah's Game. Gruden might start wishing he stayed in broadcasting, he just might do it if Oakland falls flat on their face. Stay tuned.
Here's their depth chart: https://www.raiders.com/team/depth-chart Some impressive names on it. BUT- A lot of that talent is old. Just might be the reason they've fallen apart in the 4th quarter of their games. Look for Ward to cover Jordy Nelson- he did rack up an impressive 170 yards in that loss against the Dolphins. No one on their D exactly instills fright in me. Baker plays like he did against the Jets, just might be a blowout for us.
PS, their offense is putting up a lot of yards #6, but not scoring much- only #28. Defense is middle of the road #19.

Funny thing when I was looking up those team stats on the Raiders. The only reason everyone is loving on the Chiefs is because Mahomes is putting up video game numbers. Their Defense is putting up video game numbers too- in a bad way. Dead last in yards allowed per game and 30th in points allowed.
