Also a game that is really concerning me is week 16 vs Atlanta, while we will be at home that week, we only get a 5 day turn around considering we play Monday night week 15. that is essentially a Thursday night turn around and with it being so late in the season some guys who might be banged could miss out on it. Still its the Failcons so I think we get it done, I hope.

My edit.

#1 seed at 14-2. Note, Minnesota (our only real loss since at TB would be resting older vets and Cam at half and they'd be fighting tooth and nail for a WC) surprises and goes 13-3 getting the 2 seed and topping the Cardinals as runner up in the NFC.

 

We win Super Bowl against Patriots, beating TB in divisional round (as 6 seed they have a huge upset against Arizona), then Vikes in NFC Championship game (after they beat 5 seed Seattle in divisional). Packers don't make playoffs after some key injuries and just not being a very good team. Seeding looks like this:

NFC:

1.Panthers

2.Vikings

3.Cardinals

4.NFC East (toss up between NY and Skins in my opinion, but would probably go with Skins since NY was a March Super Bowl winner and they always end up sucking during the season)

5. Seaturkeys

6. Bucs

AFC:

1. Patriots

2. Broncos (still have a top D and good run game, enough to get them a bye but not home field over Pats. End up losing in Foxboro)

3. Steelers

4. Texans (Osweiler solidifies the QB position enough for them to take control of the division this year, until Jags come out on top in 2017)

5. Bengals

6. Raiders

 

 

Honestly didn't really think about the AFC so much and just threw that together, but the NFC prediction and Panthers prediction, are my legitimate ones. Panthers over Patriots in Houston and the NFC playoffs playing out like I said.

The schedule looks pretty tough, same thing with last year's.

we should take the division and homegirls advantage for at least the first round.

Cant wait for KB to get on the field with a more seasoned Funchess and hopefully a more confident and improved Ginn to stretch the field.

Our offense looks really strong.

The only games I think we have more than a tiny chance to lose are @Seattle (second west coast game in a row) and maybe @Atlanta (or some other random div opponent).

Falcon fan here. y'all should not be worried. Yeah it's rival. But it's no different than saints/Tampa. 

 

Anyhow the falcons are being idiots. They did like the panthers did to Smith to Roddy White. Then Signed a guy who put up worse numbers than Roddy White ever has. Signed backup players when they need starters at defensive end. Didn't even bother looking at linebackers when they are dying to have something there. Lost a good DT to y'all, because they tried cutting his pay. 

 

Only positive is we got a center. All those other guys are "hope". Nothing more and nothing less. 

 

And with the way falcons draft..... Lucky if they pull out one " true "starter. Most of the starters on the falcons from the draft, would not be a starter for majority of the rest of the teams. 

 

 

Now I think the Quinn plans better against bigger names. But honestly who knows. So as of right now with not being a homer of thinking like that, falcons are looking at doing 7-9 at best.

Why are people so scared of Seattle? Last year they showed that they are heading back to reality and we did all that without KB and a lot of Corners. Not to mention Marshawn is gone and they literally have done nothing in FA.

I love how much you hate Seattle... Hold it down for us at that game Sunday night

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
