2025 season thread

sounds like mccarthy's ankle isn't 100% yet, so that makes sense

at least some people are getting healthy, that's good news

[hermes]

the guys on kfan were talking about how the darrisaw injury hasn't been handled very well. in letting everyone know the actual timeline of when he'd be ready to go and the team having an adequate backup in place if he was going to be missing this much time - which they largely didn't because shule has been bad

some really not good looks this year from the team and their handling of player injuries

[hermes]

so this season has really taken a hard left off a cliff. what should our expectations be for the rest of the year? seems like it would be impressive to be a .500 team at this point

that feels like a major letdown but maybe my expectations coming into the year were too high (and i didn't ever really define what i thought they might be)

guess i'm just bummed that there doesn't seem like much to root for. i know we've got jefferson, i like our kicker, and this might be harrison smith's last year but that's about all i've got to care about right now. really not sold on mccarthy, but maybe he can put enough together to make me a believer (honestly wouldn't take much)

I think the big thing to watch is whether we think McCarthy still looks viable as a franchise QB by the end of the year.

impressive bounce back win on the road. mccarthy looked solid most of the time. some inaccurate throws here and there but made the big play when he needed to. i think we have to feel good about mccarthy at this point. is he going to be the franchise guy for a decade? who knows but he doesn't look like a bum out there

defense was great, stopped the run, got a lot of pressure on goff. haven't seen the defense play like this against the goff-lions before it was nice to see.
