Falcons could lose a second or third round pick

As a result of 'noisegate'.

 

Persistent chatter at the Scouting Combine suggested that the Falcons will be losing a second- or third-round pick in the 2015 draft for the infraction.  The NFL has provided no insight on the magnitude of the penalty the team will be facing.

If it’s a second-day pick, it wouldn’t be a surprise.  As cheating goes, attempting to disrupt the ability of the opposing offense to communicate seems to be a pretty big deal.  Given that it wasn’t a one-time thing but a two-year pattern tends to call for an even more significant punishment.

 

Combine chatter suggests stiff penalty for Falcons

 

Just hearsay, of course.

 

But amusing hearsay :D

Winning in the offseason!

 

If this penalty is established, New England's deflategate must be at the minimum a 1st rounder.

 

Pretty sure the verdict there was that nothing could be concluded since the only ball found to be deflated was the one that came from the Colts themselves. That said, the NFL leadership hasn't exactly shown themselves to be the logical sort.

 

If the Falcons lose a draft pick, however, I will smile.  Extensively.

Actually, an NFL official clarified that Ian Rapoport was wrong about that.

I really wish people would stop calling everything something "gate". I'm not calling out Mr. Scott, just the people who come up with the poo.

 

our latest case of "Historygate"

I used to drive by Watergate regularly when I lived in DC.  Nice place...

      What Exactly Caused Bryces Turnaround?

      By falconlynx · Posted

      I’m in the same boat. I thought Bryce was toast and the smallest bust ever.    However, he now looks like Bama Bryce the last 3-4 games and I’m now excited to watch his development.

      Man I’m not trying to be a dck my bad, just talking a little smack but I was serious about the benefits of Graham over Carter based off how much he can impact winning for us next season.

      What Exactly Caused Bryces Turnaround?

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I've been thinking to myself how this happened. I'm a known "Bryce hater" but even I can admit he's been performing well since he's came back from his benching. But this is more about why or how it came to be. It seemingly happened in a fairly short amount of time. What exactly could he have learned in a few weeks he didn't learn in over 1 years worth of time in the NFL?  Does that mean his earlier performances were just some sort of mental block? I know we had problems last year. But maybe the early games this year he was mentally shell shocked and that's what caused him to keep performing badly early on?  It's just such a sudden in season change of dramatic increase in ability that you typically wouldn't see unless a longer time period passed. Or at least an off season. Did Canales tell him something that sparked something in his psyche? Or did Bryce just realize when he was benched that nothing is promised and that attitude check made him lock in more and perform better?  Curious what your theories are. And whether you think he can sustain it.  Kinda funny how CJ balled last year and AR Bryce and Levis were down bad. Now seemingly they flipped a bit. And also with the Bears going down in flames recently. I see alot of fans up and arms saying see CJ sucks now!! I told you so !! Lol
