So, here's a little snippet of ESPN commentary from the 1st half of the Miami - Atlanta game.  Miami leads 7-6 (it was 7 - 3 until a Atl FG just seconds before halftime).

Makes our OL sound good... , not really a surprise, but still good to hear that Atlanta is weak in this area.

My biggest takeaway from the first half of the Falcons-Dolphins preseason game is that the Falcons' offensive line still has a lot of work to do. The line gave up too much pressure and allowed starting QB Matt Ryan to be sacked three times in four drives. Center Joe Hawley was not in the game as the Falcons let Mike Person get first team work. Hawley was missed. And promising left guard James Stone took a significant step back. Give the Dolphins and Ndamukong Suh credit for being dominant up front.

Sounds like Packers WR#2 Randall Cobb may have been imjured (shoulder) against the Eagles tonight.  Not sure of the severity.  Not news the Pack want after losing Jordy for the season.  I feel for them.

LOL it was a good fight fuging refs thru him out for nothing tho

Im surprised Harbaugh didnt get ejected

Falcons running game and offensive line still look like complete trash. Their starting unit got absolutely man-handled up front against Miami and couldn't do a thing in the running game.

 I really don't think we see much improvement this year with the Falcons (fingers crossed).

Chip Kelly the smartest coach in the league? 

 

Bradford 10/10 3 tds 

 

looks like the "ego maniac" knows what he's doing. Completely shocked by this /sarcasm.

Seahawks look like crap again.  Blown away on both sides of the ball, particularly their OL.  Chargers at one point had 10 first downs to one and currently have 120 more yards and twice the TOP.  Seahawks still lead in the 3rd as Tyler Lockett returned a punt for a TD.

I watched the 2nd qtr of that game. Question: even if Eagles are at the line but they are also substituting players, aren't the refs supposed to stop the clock & give the defense time to sub if they want to? I'm confused over that.

Smith was antagonizing the dude and refused to back down, I thought the ejection was warranted and agree about Harbaugh, I expect to see a lot of fines from that display.

Julio joins the big time

Falcons signed WR Julio Jones to a five-year, $71.25 million contract extension through 2020.

Jones gets $47 million guaranteed. His new $14.25 million in average annual salary puts Jones slightly ahead of both Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas...

I hate to see Julio in ATL, but I am glad to see Atlanda wrapping up all of their salary cap in skill players and not the trenches. 

If their O line is truly as bad as they have looked this pre-season, they aren't going to have enough time to get the ball to anyone.  Big men help you compete...

Chip Kelly is a mad genius.

looks like the Cards Oline can be added to the list. they are getting Palmer killed today.

[Mother Grabber]

Palmer is 6-18 with 2INT. he sucks, cut him, fire Bruce Arians and Tom Moore.
