Yea, they aren’t playing their best football right now and I don’t expect them to come out on Saturday and look like a wildly different team. This team looked their best when Dowdle was running hard and forcing defenses to key on stopping him. He has noticeably less burst that earlier in the season now. And it’s crazy because Atlanta fired Raheem Morris who finally had Atlanta looking decent at the end of the season finishing 4-0. And instead of building on that momentum, they fired everyone. They had a stretch of games mid season where they lost by a point to the Patriots, lost in overtime to the Colts, and lost in overtime to the Panthers, and obviously in the Panthers game Penix tore his ACL again. If Penix didn’t get hurt I think the Falcons pull that game out and both team’s seasons look very different.

Eh, I’ve come to think that looking at the schedule in advance is a fool’s errand. You have no idea who is going to be tough a year in advance especially when you don’t know when in the season you’ll play them. Teams would have looked at a late season Chiefs game in 2025 and thought f*ck we gotta play the Chiefs? But they fell apart this year. So anything can happen.

If he had beaten New Orleans one time I think the narrative around Canales would be very different right now

Who? Who cares

No one even expects a close game. Considering the Rams just lost to the Falcons I’m not gonna say they’re a juggernaut. I think it’s a closer game than many expect. Rams will definitely win though, they aren’t going to fug around this time.

This man panthers

The best move the Panthers could make is to continue investing in the roster and draft a 2nd round QB to be competition for Bryce. The best case scenario is Bryce plays out his 5th year option and a better QB on a rookie contract takes his place. Shough seems like the real deal, Saints are going to be back up quick.

I’d love to make 63m for being good at throwing a ball

Am I excited there is a home playoff game, absolutely f*ck yes. Can I also feel like this team really doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs? Absolutely f*ck yes.

I think the only one you possibly got right is Harbaugh to the Raiders haha

I think it’ll work out like Andy Reid leaving the Eagles. They’ll make a bad hire at first and take a step back, move on from it quickly, and find success with the next hire.

Agreed, there are very few teams that are going to compete for the playoffs after their starting QB misses more the like 3 games

I would be shocked. I think he goes to the Giants, possibly the Raiders. He will want to go somewhere with a promising young QB. Atlanta is a hard sell with a rapidly aging Kirk Cousins and Penix’s shredded knee at QB.

Harbaugh is 64 years old I think this was a move for the Ravens to get younger and a fresh voice in the locker room. Eventually the same pep talks and coaching tidbits don’t work anymore. If KC has another bad season I wouldn’t be surprised if Andy Reid retires too.

Yea I thought Curhan did much better than Corbett in the run game. Weird how it’ll take another injury to get the best players on the field just like it did for Dowdle to showcase his talent
