Oh look who is now available! Too bad we can't trade assets for him again.

Are these right?

Dan Quinn (ATL) 2020

Dennis Allen (NO) 2024

Matt Patricia (DET) 2020

There's gotta be more than that. Feels like there's more than that

 

I think Ditka was fired by the Saints after a loss to us as well, and maybe both Moras, but I am not as confident on that one.

Bryce Young completed 8 passes beyond 5 yards throughout the entire game. 4 of those passes were in his first drive.

I mean. Yeah.....

I didn't see any of the game beyond the opening minutes, so I cannot argue either way.

Gentleman, we have a kicker. Maybe we can have nice things after all. 

Now you've gone and done it. I wonder when he snaps his kneecap in half.

Pulled from the Falcons board, so I haven't checked the validity, but, it is..interesting.

ATL means All-Time Losers.

As I said earlier in the week, the Falcons are schizophrenic and sometimes just have bad games for no reason real reason. Always happy to beat them, and to notch a shutout by our god-awful D is just that much sweeter.

Defense showed up today. It's about time. Pitching a shutout in the home opener. I can't complain about them today.

Well there you have it. 15 game win streak starting this Sunday.

2) Carson Wentz- I can see Kevin O’ Connell reshaping him a little bit. He has spent some time with him, Mahomes/Reid, and Stafford/McVay the last few years and may have refined himself a bit. Plus, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him outperform McCarthy at times this year but get the boot because they are invested in JJ. 
 

It's a little concerning that he can't catch on anywhere. Indy couldn't get him out of town fast enough.

I think Watson is done. D.O.N.E. If all the press and rotten reputation didn't do him in, the injuries certainly did.

Cam had his faults and flaws as we all do, but I do think he cared about responsibility and accountability.

It shows how far we still have to go. Kind of reminds me of CMC with the 1000/1000 season. Only 2 other players have hit those marks, and we won 5 games that year.

I can't say I really disagree with him.

Falcons tend to be front-runners and fade a bit as the season goes on. I think it's because they know they are the 4th fiddle in their own town behind the Braves, UGA and SEC football in general, and it all ends up getting in their heads when they start to fall off. I expect them to be playing with some passion and intensity this Sunday.

Quick watch, as the Panthers are talked about very early on.

1. Cover Tmac. fug all anyone else as a receiving threat.

2. Stack the box on obvious run downs. We will not stick with the run once down anyway.

3. Bring the house on passing downs.

4. Watch the turnover and sack numbers shoot up like a video game.

They could probably just kick field goals again and win this one easily.

I mean...that is a crazy easy schedule from start to finish. You are looking at one elite team and as many as three upper tier teams. Other than that, it's middle of the pack or cellar dwellers.

I wouldn't start calling shots on us losing out. We have all been here before.

4 wins was my prediction, but I thought there was a chance with the right breaks and a little luck, to maybe reach 6 or 7. 

I kind of feel 4 might be stretching my optimism a little too far.

That said, it is a crazy easy slate of games, except we are crazy bad, and crazy inept and crazy incapable.

Not gonna start a thread on this but AJ Brown seems pretty unhappy. I wonder if they lose a few games if they’d be willing to listen to an XL trade + a pick for AJ. Opens up cap space for them, and I do think XL could have a really solid role on that offense. TMac + AJ would be a top 5 WR corp

When did Jerruh Jones start calling shots for the Eagles too?

We really needed wins in the first 2 EZ-mode games.

If we land #1 overall, sure I'd like to be able to grab a QB.

But part of me hopes it ends up a down year for QB prospects and we play it smart and get a Bears like haul in return for ours and then sign someone like Jameis for the season and maybe take a flyer on a 2nd or 3rd rounder at QB.

Sure 2026 might suck, but landing a few extra 1st rounders and maybe even a quality player could really help expedite turning the franchise around and having a well built out roster before you draft and insert a QB into it to contend on their rookie contract.

It has merit. The problem might be that Winston is just good enough to get you out of realistic range for getting a prospect.

This could get ugly real quick. I sure hope we can get a win versus Miami. Might be a very lean year otherwise.

Careful what you wish for? Nah. He can go. 

After Manning's rookie season, where he threw a record 28 interceptions, and guided the Colts to a 3-13 mark, surely spent that offseason watching true crime shows on Netflix, playing GTA and just chilling.
