So many damn characters at this point, all crowding each other out. Feels like everyone is a side character now, they really should have killed some people off and gone down to a smaller main cast by now. Every ten seconds we get a big bunch of exposition, or a character throwing a weepy pity party before another character gives them an inspirational "you got this!" reply. "Show, not tell" has completely gone out the window at this point. Saw the melodramatic group hug at the end of Will's speech coming from a mile away. His actor's acting has not been super impressive this season. Really feels like this whole season has been the writers making stuff up as they go along. The antenna reception BS. Then the giant wall mcguffin. Then the "hive mind" stuff. Then Will forming the Harry Potter-Voldy connection. Now there's 'exotic matter', and the UD is actually a wormhole to a super spooky abyss. The season is so overstuffed with speeches and explanations because the characters keep having to explain to the audience wtf is going on every time some new concept is clumsily thrown into the mix.
More realistically, we should have been in the playoffs this year but for a wasted offseason where the coaches identified and strengthened none of our glaring O-line and RB room weaknesses. In other words, the same thing we're worried could very well repeat itself this year. But hey, if you want to place the blame at the feet of the committee after watching Connor Stroh stumble around for 60 minutes against a dismal 4-8 Florida squad, instead of questioning the multiple poor coaching decisions that led to such a situation, that's your prerogative.
