He immediately went right to the locker room, so that wasn't great. Didn't see it, though.

Hope Nino is okay. Was hoping to avoid the injury bug for a while.

fug. Nino got hurt. fug

That guy killed us last year too.

This has been an insanely entertaining game.

Both.

Yep. Would love to see him bang one in this game. Maybe Sunday against another dumpster fire team too.

But after four years, how do you help?

Yeah, the amount of drops was nuts in that game. Sam still had his fair share of the blame. After all, he tried to kill DJ and he did kill TMJ.

The overwhelming bulk of our injuries have been on defense this season. It's crazy.

Yeah, all those guys are dropping the ball, though. That is why I am inclined to give about 50% of all these drops(as a team) to Darnold and his lack of accuracy and timing. If it were just Robby struggling with drops, I would say it is clearly a Robby issue. That isn't the case, though.

That's also an anecdotal take and not a fact based one. It is possible there is some veracity to it but thr general, "It's cause they're all pussies and don't get hit anymore" take also ignores that currently NFL players are also stressing their bodies much further than in the past.

Technically, Brown has had a much bigger impact in the pass rushing department than he has in run support. To date, he has been surprisingly pedestrian as a run stuffer.

Well Brown is currently ranked #10 in Pass Rush Win Rates for DT's, so it seems like he is actually doing that job pretty well.

Yeah, he straight laid him the fug out.

I already came twice to it.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Side note: I need someone to turn Marchand's nose sideways.

We are just trying to pad our PK stats, bruh.

Suck on it Beantown losers.

Yeah, I gotta be honest, the more I look at the stats, the more I think we might have a shot at this one.

Well, our weakness is rushing defense(19th rated DVOA, 13th in Rush YPG, 23rd in YPC) which matches up well with Atlanta, as they have a bottom 6 rushing offense(31st rated DVOA, 27th in Rush YPG, 29th in YPC). Their passing attack is a little anemic for them(24th rated DVOA, 10th rated Pass YPG) but they also score most of their TD's through the air(80% on the season). That also matches up well with us as we have the 9th best passing defense(DVOA), allow the 7th lowest completion percentage, and allow the 2nd least passing yards per game. This feels like a matchup we should win. Now for the bad news.....although Atlanta has a bad defense(30th DVOA overall, 30th Pass DVOA, 28th Rush DVOA), we have an equally bad offense(30th DVOA overall, 30th Pass DVOA, 21st rated Rush DVOA). We also average 1.6 giveways per game to their 0.8 takeaways per game. This really appears to be a matter of which team will stink it up the worst. Also, while they appear to be bad offensively, they also protect Matt Ryan well(9th in Adjusted Sack Rate and only 9 sacks allowed all year). This really appears to be a matter of which team will stink it up the worst on offense. Given our recent games, it is a little hard for me to believe that our offense will be able to muster much, even against a unit this bad.

I am not bored by it. I still enjoy football. I usually make the games palatable by hanging around friends and openly roasting the team. If we can at least make it funny, it makes the misery a little more bearable.

I could not wrap my head around this decision at all. It showed this wasn't some gamble, it was a flat out all-in move. $19 mil may not sound like much, but it's what we jettisoned Cam for. It's also on a rookie deal which means it is 100% guaranteed money. Even worse? We JUST DID THIS SAME poo LAST YEAR WITH TEDDY BRIDGEWATER.
