Things we were wrong about this year

[bileever]

We spend a lot of time here saying "I told you so," but I thought this was a good time to discuss all the things we were wrong about. Here's some of the things I thought at the beginning of the season that turned out to be wrong:

1. Byron Murphy would be a huge force in the middle.
2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was over-rated.
3. We overpaid for Leonard Williams
4. The O-line would be better with Connor Williams at center.
5. That Christian Haynes would have an immediate impact.
6. Tyler Lockett would have one last good year.
7. Ryan Grubb would unleash the power of DK Metcalf.
8. Uchenna Nwosu and Boye Mafe would each have 10+ sacks.
9. The Rams would be in last place in the NFC West.
10. Kenneth Walker would rush for 1000 yards.
11. Dan Quinn would guide the Commanders to a last-place finish.

This is just a partial list of things I was wrong about this year. (Don't even get me started on my personal life.) So don't listen to anything I say because I obviously don't know anything.

Those were all wrong! 9 hurts the most.
losing the Rams game we should've won both years really sucks.

I was gonna say DK breaks out this year, until I read #7.

I was on board with 4, 8 & 10

Accurate list for sure!

I'm guilty of some of those, but I did not think DK would break out, dude can't run a route to save his life, cant get separation, and is a mental midget.....

I did not think Murphy would come in and be an immediate force, dudes a rookie.

I did not think Grubb would turn this offense around first year, he's a first year coordinator, plus he's still dealing with Carroll's band of misfits on the OLine. I did think Conner Williams would make a difference though.

I did not think we overpaid Leanord Williams, he was our best lineman last year.

I did not expect Seattle to achieve as much as they did this season, I was pleasantly suprised, seeing how Macdonald was stuck with all of Carolls terrible draft picks.

I was onboard with #5 and #6. I didn't think any of the rest.

Here's me:

1. Geno would regress from 2023 (yes, I actually thought this)
2. Derick Hall was a bust
3. Tariq Woolen would bounce back
4. Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson were underrated and would have a big season
5. Laken Tomlinson and Pharoah Brown were good signings and would help the OL
6. Jarran Reed would do things
7. Mike would get 8 wins at most
