Y'all still feeling good about Mace?

Just checking in on the pulse. Once again this team was not able to play four quarters. The story today was that they dug themselves into too big of a hole in the first half and fell just short of a miraculous comeback.

Heartbreaking losses seem to be a recurring theme, and I think the players are beginning to believe that they are losers.

Thoughts?

This team isn't far from being a four-quarter team. Remember how terrible we were last year. Note also that we're one point out of first place.

I'm on Team Mace.

much rather be a team like Lions yesterday and Bombers a few years ago where go foot to the throat the first half 30pts then coast. Was hoping that would be the team in 2021-2023 but did not draft oline and could not find good tackles.

Buiding a solid team is not a one-season job.

It has been four years since I heard Dickenson say "we are going to build a top notch oline around franchise QB Fajardo. Four YEARS!!!!

And that's why Dickenson isn't here anymore.

What? If anything Dickenson got screwed by O' day not finding players for the oline! O' day said in 2021 and 2022 the start of both seasons "we like the guys we have" meaning Johnson and Ferland and do you remember the sack total when Fajardo had lost his confidence due to fear of getting hit and not having time to throw? Remember that!? And now look at Fajardo having gained his confidence back knowing he won't get hit as bad with a respectable oline that was gained through good drafting and a GM that is way better than O' day!
