I missed our first drives, but saw NBC showing us running the read option and im like "sweet, AP and Webb running all over them.". Then did not see it ONCE...

Don't really get this post after the season we just had w/ Ponder+no Percy for a decent chunk of it+brutal schedule

I'm not feeling good about next year either (what else is new). Lower draft pick + another year of age on guys like Allen/Williams/Winfield + inevitable AP regression. I think we're an example of one of those teams that the media thinks is on an upswing but in reality is probably due to regress.

We'd need some significant changes at QB/WR for me to have some optimism.

We pick up a QB, get rid of Sherels, and always maintain 11 guys on the field and we'll be fine.

our schedule this year was mostly brutal bc of our division which isn't changing.

instead of NFC west and AFC south we get NFC east and AFC north next year, with a home game in london...

Ya unless we can improve our passing game. Ponder will be back. New offensive coordinator and I guess we'll see what happens at WR.

I'm usually a super pessimist during the offseason but after what we did this year I'm willing to change a bit

That's a pretty killer road schedule. Hopefully the Bears blow everything up

As long as Ponder progresses somewhat and we bring in some WRs; and probably some help in the secondary, I think the team will be fine next year. Would be nice to have Percy back too.

ponder progresses from ~28th best QB to what 20th best? Anything better than that seems very very optimistic. It doesn't really matter who your WRs are if you don't have a QB. We should just draft QBs in the first 3 rounds every year till we find a good one.

I used to always have tons of funny looking bruises like the lines you see there in HS football. They're facemask/pad shaped bruises. The general discoloration around his elbow isn't good I'm guessing. He should have completely removed that sleeve for the picture though!

Well "Of course locking up Percy this offseason will be one of our front office's main priorities," would be nice.

That would be nice to hear, but I wouldnt expect Frazier to say that because he doesnt make those decisions. That, and he's probably FOS and knows Harvin wont be back.
