RGV 2.0

If no legitimate Big East rotational pieces are added through the portal and there are no unexpected departures, they'll be better but not good enough to even be on the bubble.

You can build around Nigel.  I'd expect Egbuonu to be one of the better players on the team if the above is the case.  The ceiling would depend on whether Sheek can contribute right away and whether Stevens and Parham progress to legitimate Big East rotational players.

The "Triple Doink" shall live in infamy!

Invited back huh...

Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on January 11, 2026, 10:16:16 AMThis sounds like me telling Bears fans they'd regret moving on from Jay Cutler...and Trubisky...and Fields...

None of those guys have had the level of success on the field equivalent to what LaFleur has had a coach, postseason notwithstanding. 

I get that Packers fans have probably lost patience.  However, I think back to the Bears firing Lovie Smith and what followed from a coaching perspective.  An upgrade isn't a guarantee.

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 10:39:46 AMWe've reached the point where we're rationalizing 24-point losses to unranked opponents.

Seems like 20 plus losses are becoming a thing with this team.

Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 02:56:35 PMI'd pump the breaks on The Hall's miraculous turn around.  Let's see what they do the rest of the season.  Granted, they're 1000 times better than us right now, but they're nowhere near where we have been in recent past seasons.

Neither are we.

Depends on what our coach does in March and April.

Quote from: jesmu84 on Today at 03:02:58 PMTo be fair, packers have won or been near the top of the division regularly which means a harder schedule the following year. So, consistently making the playoffs is the sign of a good team, especially when that team faces more difficult scheduling.

Well to be fair the Packers haven't won jack squat in the last four years so......

Hasn't won the NFC North since '21

Next year's team will be younger than this year's team particularly if Jones and Norman are not invited back. There has been minimal growth by Parham, Hamilton, and Owens and there's zero reason to believe they'll improve. Next year's team will be reliant the current frosh, recruits and redshirts. This may take a few seasons. Someone convince me otherwise before I renew for next season.
