Ray Ray McLeod looks to be in the Falcons doghouse. A situation worth watching. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46628761/falcons-send-wr-ray-ray-mccloud-iii-home-vs-49ers

The lack of defensive playmakers over the life of the regime is so glaring that it cannot be written off as the result of drafting late.

Terry believes he has a legacy leadership team in place. Don't expect anything to happen in the regular season. If we fail to get as far as last year I expect some kind of change without firing Beane and Clappy. I think Beane's entire scouting regime needs an audit. I expect significant change here. Any coordinator changes will have to come from a performance based motivation or from Josh's urging. Personally, i am still astounded that we have drafted no impact players on defense in the entire Pegula era.

As dismal a showing as that was, it's too early to dismantle everything. Was it 2023 when we flirted with .500 and Clappy engineered a nearly ten game win streak that put us at twelve or thirteen wins on the season? We've been here before. As the greedy NFL adds more games they each become less meaningful. Did anyone think we were going 17 - 0? We're still ahead of rivals KC, Baltimore and Cincinnati.

Nice coverage by Benford there

Was that a sack by our D?

We're not good enough to play with our food

Narrowly saved from total embarrassment

Bijan Robinson agrees

Tune in to the second half for the next episode of "It's OK, Josh will save us."

You really need a quarterback whisperer to go with your franchise quarterback. I think Mike McCarthy might be tempted

A certain college coach with a young girlfriend has expressed interest 🤔

As we usually do with power backs, I expect we'll let Robinson run at will between the 20s and force Penix to beat us in the red zone. I expect a close game decided by a mistake made in communication between Penix and the Falcons sideline.

Watched bits and pieces of the game overnight while vacationing in the UK. Also saw a Steve Tasker jersey on the train going to London

This is a finesse/speed team built for turf that can't get to the QB. We have not had a dominating defender in the Beane era. When you hit on your QB it masks other shortcomings. But who would make a change when you're this close? A friend told me there are no blue chip pass rushers on teams with franchise QBS on veteran contracts. You can feel the Chiefs fading away. The Ravens are imploding and Burrow can't stay healthy. It's now or never.

Ralph is cheap. I think this regime believes they can sprinkle some OBD pixie dust on a player and get oodles of supplemental draft picks out of them if they go elsewhere

Discontinued Raiders gear in the discount bin

I expected us to split the series with the Pats this year. I did not expect us to go 17 - 0. I didn't watch the entire game. What I did see made me think the Pats wanted this worse than we did. Vrabel will be a challenge every game. We've been playing with our food for a few weeks now. KC did it last year and the Eagles are doing it this year. There are just too many games and too many injuries in a 17 game season. The league is watered down and the regular season just doesn't mean as much. We didn't play badly but were the less focused team on the field. I still think we're the best in the conference

Not buying that the Bolts are selling as many tickets as shown on TV

Special teams is becoming a lost art. So many boneheaded mistakes and penalties everywhere

Fields sacked for a big loss on back to back plays
