Green Lightning

Agree. I sat and thought - did that just happen?

Sat through many a Rockpile games in bad wind, but as you say, never several in a season, though shorter seasons back then.

Jeebus, I didn’t realize it was that big a spread!

Anybody who wants McD fired is a Pats fan. This regime has resurrected the dead and maintains a winning culture in a small market.

You quoted me. Just sayin. Hey, new season starts now. I was just hoping for all three phases to look sharp.

Following since 1963, seen it all. I was just hoping to see better in all 3 phases. Loved the D.

Been on this board a lot longer than you and followed this team since 1963. Bite me.

Conservative? For 2 quarters we missed 80% of the passs thrown and couldn't buy a 1st down. With the way the D played, it should have been over at the half.

Dominating in clock, yards, blocked punt and up by 3 in the 4th quarter, and after seeing them lose every one score game this year, yeah, white knuckle.

He's a bargain at that price.

Billsy unesscessary white knuckle of a game. 2nd and 3rd quarter were just abysmal. We also need a punter. Terrible game management by McD. All said, back to back division titles and the Pats puked. Good day.

We all love Josh but get real. Tips happen for a reason. Pass too flat, didn't see the defender, misjudged the arc, whatever. Nobody's perfect and he was throwing heat on most passes. It happens. He was off a day. So what, we won running.

He was taking the short stuff early on and moving the ball. Started some hero ball later. Some of those runs could have been short passes. Makes me nervous to see him take those shots.

Well, there's that.

They are Falcon fans and this year need their support animals.

There was only a 3% possibility I would post on this thread until I understood that there were several scenarios that would make it a 100% chance I wouldn't.

He couldn't beat out Levi Wallace, so now he's going to be a star?

Many if us wanted Beane to address the OL and CB depth in the off season. He didn't. I think we're paying for that now.

Nope. Pittsburgh, Titans and Indy. Big and tough teams that know how to beat soft teams and that's what we are.

Today reinforced what I knew -- we ain't all that. We are a soft team that cannot run or stop the run. And like it or not, that's how you win games. Forget about the #1 seed, forget about the division IMO, and it's a long shot for the wild card with losses to Pittsburgh, Titans and Indy. We are soft and easily pushed around. And if you didn't like today, you're going to hate losing two to the Pats, because thay can run, stop the run and play methodical end of season tough football. We were built to beat KC. Mission accomplished. But now every team with real D and O lines will slap us around. So that's why I didn't watch today. Went deer hunting and knew we'd get our asses kicked-- and we did. Time to rebuild the trenches and hope for a better outcome next year.

To quote TO "No not really." Likely you meant debacle, which it was. Like Motor?

Klein made plays all over the field today. I like him against run heavy teams like Indy and the Pats.

I can honestly say I am plenty concerned. Their D is solid, run game solid and Jones is living within his skill set and effective. They don't beat themselves like we are prone to. I think whoever wins our head to head wins the division.

Was thinking the same. This line is abysmal.

Yes, because he knows our crap OL couldn't power run on an arena league team. If this team needs a yard they have to pass or have Josh lug it when he's flushed out of the pocket.
