I have moved on...because it’s a game. I have a great life. Wife, annoying but good kids. A brand new job. A new house. Football is entertainment. I love the Falcons. But my life is literally not impacted whatsoever on what the Falcons do. Did LI hurt? Sure it did. But for me to allow a football game that has zero impact on my life traumatize me is just silly. I am still the same person tomorrow. But with that being said...

A two point conversion??? WHEN YOU ARE UP 19?!? The commitment to these garbage ass safeties. This moronic "bend but don't break" defense. This team doesn't even know the special team rules. If that's not a sign of terrible coaching, I don't know what is. Can't even blame this on Koetter and the offense. They're averaging 30 ppg. 

I am officially selling tickets for the "fire Dan Quinn" train. This is the worst coaching I’ve ever seen. I almost want Mike Smith back. Blank needs to promote Morris right now and move on. 

I swear being a Falcons fan is like being on a roller coaster that drops you off a cliff at the end. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

 

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend about how if I had a significant other who disappointed me as much as the Cleveland Browns, I would have rightfully left her ass years ago.  I try to tell myself to only be happy when they win, and be indifferent if they lose, but it never seems to work out that way.

I did not think Kyler Murray would be this good.  Maybe it is because of the offense built for him or maybe the talent around him at receiver and running back.  But he is a really good QB

The running is one thing, but the way he's able to throw a 40 yard rope from a sprint is incredible.  Seriously, he's not as good of an athlete as Lamar Jackson and doesn't have the arm of Mahomes, but he might be 8 out of 10 in their respective areas.  That's fucking scary.

[supremebve 5,680]

I don't mean to pile onto Bill O'Brien, but there is this position called safety.  That person's job is to be there just in case everything else fails...Mark Ingram just proved why that position is valuable.  

[RIPPA 32,731]

It took me until I was 43??? to not let Giants losses ruin my day

I guess that’s the one thing I should thank Ben McAdoo for 

[hammerva 4,609]

This Justin Hebert for the Chargers loves to hit people.   Not going to help extend his career but it is fun to watch

Tyrod better get used to being on the sideline.  Tyrod plays like he's afraid of making a mistake, Herbert doesn't seem to understand what the word afraid means.

Every week the Texans are out coached. Every single week. And you don’t have DeAndre Hopkins there to bail you out. 

Mike Dan Tony would be a better football coach than BOB

[Brian Fowler 14,878]

Houston is in a hole, but the good news is they probably just played the two best teams they'll see all year. It's the AFC South, I wouldn't rule out them winning the division, getting a playoff win, and saving BOB's job again.

[supremebve 5,680]

So, can we have Cam Newton vs. Russell Wilson every week?  I honestly don't think I need any of these other teams.  

[RIPPA 32,731]

Early word today

Christian McCaffrey out several weeks

Tyrod Taylor is week to week

Colts Safety Malik Hooker suffered a torn Achilles

[RIPPA 32,731]

Oh and NFL players are rightly wondering why Brett Favre is allowed to meander around games without a mask while their families aren't allowed to attend

[Dolfan in NYC 16,127]

The New York Football Team is going to kick the tires on Devonta Freeman with Saquon possibly suffering an ACL tear.

What sort of idiot runs it from the one yard line?

Joking aside, Cam has looked really good so far.

The interception he threw last night was pretty bad, and he got away with an identical mistake earlier (that likely would have been a pick-6 if caught), but he looked great otherwise.  I don't like the play called to end the game but that's not on Cam.  He did enough to win, they just didn't.

And Russell Wilson looked fantastic as well. 

Great game.

I really thought they'd go fake run with Cam/toss to TE/FB/RB for the last play like they did earlier with such success. Not that Cam can't make it from there, he has before, but it was a long one yard and the box was stacked. It was a failed play almost immediately. But hindsight 20/20, if he had waltzed into the end zone then it would have been hard to criticize.

I thought they would run that play as well.  Seemed like a better choice.  Regardless, the New England offense looks to be in good hands.

[Niners Fan in CT 14,940]

Whole damn division is 2-0 now except the Niners at 1-1.  The Wild Wild West.  With all the injuries Niners will probably finish last. 

[Dolfan in NYC 16,127]

Minnesota LB Anthony Barr tore his pec and is done for the year. 

The injury montage on UrinatingTree's recap this week is going to be insane. 

[Tabe 2,190]

Can't find a link but I'm hearing the NFL has admitted the refs should have called an unsportsmanlike penalty on Tyreek Hill yesterday for taking off his helmet.  The penalty would have meant going for the tying 2-point from the 17 instead of the 2.

[NoFistsJustFlips 210]

I'm pumped about the 2021 NFL Off Season Thread. When does it open? It should be open soon for fans of the Giants, Jets, and Vikings.

Yikes Saquon's injury, really all the injuries yesterday... just heart breaking. I don't think The Giants are totally done yet. For whatever reason the passing game has looked pretty solid the last two weeks. Now that there's no sense wasting practice time on run plays we can really open it up lol. Also can The Giants pleaseeee trade away Golden Gator Arms Tate? He only had three or four targets yesterday and ever catch he went down in a heap like he got dusted by Thanos. His first catch there wasn't a player within 6 yards of him and he still went down without trying to get a single extra yard.

Easy points for everyone doing Highway to Ham:

Don't pick the Vikings to win a game this season.

After these first two games, I damn sure won't be.

[Brian Fowler 14,878]

Man, letting Russell Wilson throw the ball is effective. Who'da thunk it?

[Contentious C 744]

So how long has Hugo Weaving been the frontman for the Killers? Also that song only kinda worked when we were all angsty 20-somethings; when the band looks like a slice of a Trump rally, less so.
