I don't think it's a tough decision at all. There's no way to justify paying him with his current history of being available. It's very unfortunate, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Not the 1st time that an athlete has their career truncated due to injury.

Wow

Jimmy G is also benched in favor of McConnell.

Isn't the story with the Colts/JM thing that Jim Irsay acted so weird around McDaniel and his wife, at their home, that they were like "nope".  Like Irsay went to the bathroom and stayed in there for like an hour or some poo lmao?

It takes time to sort and swallow a handful of pills. 

I've always liked the story that came out about Al Davis' interview of Kiffin. He suggested they keep talking over dinner and sent someone out to get a big bag of regular McDonalds cheeseburgers for the two of them.

Maybe they don't let it load before hitting the submit button. I don't know. It always works for me.

No, it's Elon Musk half-assery. If you attempt to post a tweet by hitting the share button on the actual tweet, which is the underscore icon with the upward arrow, on the right side, it will copy/paste a x.com based-url. Nearly all message boards do not recognize this, so the tweet does not embed, but instead will display the url in it's text long form only. If however, you copy and paste the actual twitter.com url from the top of your browser, the tweet will embed since twitter is still recognized.

Just copying and pasting, not sure why it works for some and not others. 

With tweets, the url needs to be twitter.com, not x.com.

Grady Jarrett is done for the season. Torn ACL.

They actually have a decent roster for a rookie QB to step into unlike us.  Keep the coaching staff and draft one out of this class with Bijan, London, and Pitts for some nice weapons.  Of course I hope they don't do this and struggle for eternity because they are the Falcons.  

I think if you zoom out a bit you might see a bit more of what I am getting at. They've always put a premium on skill players, but then don't really have anything behind them or around them. Then for a few years towards the end of the Ryan era they really concentrated on oline, with some mixed results. They like splashy a whole bunch, and always have, but other than Michael Turner and a retiring Tony Gonzalez, I can't think of many deals they've made that worked out favorably, and unironically, those 2 were both on offense.

How crazy is it that it took this long for Ridder to get benched?

I have not understood their method of roster building for most of Blank's tenure. It's a oddly constructed team most years. Heinicke is a better option at qb, but he is still backup level. Maybe they spend their next high pick on another rb.

Holy poo. It must be nice to have those weapons. Just throw a dying duck over the middle of the field and Kitties swoops in to snag it.

Are you trying to say Ian Thomas can't be that weapon?

The 49ers are going to forever be a bridesmaid without an elite QB. 

It is a bit of a tantalizing tease. Seems like the system is very qb friendly, and maybe that creates a little bit of good enough complacency. 

He had a good story. Disney might be writing a Disney+ exclusive dramatization movie about it right now.

And Burrow cashes right in.

As Purdy throws another interception..

Tommy Devito time in NY

Danny DeVito would give them a better chance.

6 sacks. Leading a game-winning drive with this team would be a top pick type of achievement.

Legendary Hurst, with 1 legendary target, has a legendary drop. His hand must hurt from signing legendary autographs.

Levis with a THIRD nuke bomb.  Holy sh*t

I have no buyers remorse over Levis. I'm pleased the Falcons are getting embarrassed, so there is that.

Ridder has been benched to start the second half. Falcons down 14-3.

About time. TD

I recall hearing something about how we wouldn't need top end receivers We were going to have this dynamic, innovative, maestro magician playing qb like a hall of fame all-time NBA star point guard. We could maybe even invest a little less cash in wrs, since our super computer qb would be distributing that ball around so skillfully and quickly that defenses wouldn't know where it was coming from, and where it was going.

I am shocked beyond belief at how this offense has struggled, especially given that we have Panthers legend Hayden Hurst. It must be all the other non-legend players that are dragging it down.

Firing him mid-season will just be throwing a bone. Let it go. This year is done. 

This franchise is so far removed from Sam Mills now, and in so many ways. they might as well just honor Sam Walton instead.

The Peppers video should make every fan realize the sad state this franchise has become.
