You know Sanders has been in Thomas' ear saying: How did you manage years of lackluster performances into a sweet contract and somehow you still can't get cut?" Ian: "Tell them you were a steal at the top of the 4th round and you like to block."

We are going to have to run the ball...a lot, and keep the Falcons' offense off the field. The only recipe for a victory is we must dominate the time of possession.

Yup, what a crappy thought.

The myth, the legend, THE Ian Thomas! Let's fugg'n go!!!!!

About 6 wins and for Young to be a modicum better as a NFL QB. We still might hit the wins...maybe, but the second point is hopeless.

Yup. If not Nico, another stud. A deep class in '26. This year, it's Ward, Ewers and a bunch of question marks. At best it's a draft to take a late round flyer to develop a QB3.

This is usually an offseason thread. Damn, we are already doing an offseason topic five games in, lol?

Just like Ian Thomas. I can't scream from the mountain tops loud enough, bang my head against the wall long enough or grit my teeth hard enough any longer. FIX FUGG'N TE POSITION!!! And no, taking a dude who "dropped" to the 4th round in a sh*t TE class save the top guy, isn't going to do the trick. I'll even take a FA at this point. I wonder if the Raiders would swap Young for Mayer straight up?

For injured RB who has yet to see the field for us.

I'm not sure where you got that data, but I would love to see just days 1 and 2 (rounds1-3). I'm certain that list would change a good deal.

If I'm not mistaken, the Rams and Pats had a TON of day 3 picks the past several drafts. We all know those guys generally don't pan out. That would skew those number significantly. I mean, we have done worse with the fewest picks in the bottom 1/4 of that list in the League. The Vikings nearly doubled our picks and are only a couple spots below us.

You know when this downward spiral started? When Tepper went all-in on analytics. Let scouts scout and let the nerds play Xbox.

WE keep changing GMs, but have largely left our scouting department in tact. Some turnover this offseason (after the draft) so we shall see.

Kinda like a favorite hobby you've nearly given up on. You miss it, but have moved on to other things to fill that void.

Passing up Payton Wilson for Tevin Wallace was a huge red flag for me. I think Morgan is a better pro scout than college.

Dalton was not the main problem today. Poor game planning, poor/no adjustments, shoddy defense and injuries. Dalton didn't have a stellar day, but he is way down the list of reasons for today's failure.

Does anyone think that we didn't get anything short of completely fleeced in the Bears trade at this point? There has to be one knucklehead still out there.

At this point, picking up limbs, sticks and pine cones seems like a better time than watching this game.

Guess who else we thought we got a steal on at the top oft he 4th round? Sounds like: Pee'n dumbass

I told y'all this was a bad draft to look for a TE, unless it was Brock Bowers.

Hubbard is so damn inconsistent. Was he waiting on an invitation or something? Dude had all kinds of daylight to run and was stuck in neutral.

Yup, the same here.

Our defense

The flats are closed!!!

Outside of the long TD, we haven't established the run well enough to have their secondary cheat up. They are just playing a shell coverage and rallying to the ball. If we are going to play small ball, the flats have been shut down. So slants and quick outs are going to have to be called in order to pull those defenders closer to the LOS. Their defense is playing very disciplined right now.
