What Does McBeane See In Peterman?
Just in Atlanta replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Normally, I'd be with you. But given the guy's track record--he literally throws a pick every 11 throws--11! (one in 11, think about that ridiculous stat for a second)--he's not cut out for this game. To answer the OPs question, I have no idea. But I would say a majority of this fan board at the end of preseason--you know who you are--was in favor of starting him over Allen and McCarron, the majority of which is now decrying McD's decision making. (For the record, I don't blame anyone for thinking Clipboardman was the better choice, it's just astonishing that we didn't bring in or keep a veteran presence until now). -
I get the logic. But the fact that so many fans are seemingly WANTING to get rid of our No. 1 offensive talent for future picks IS kinda crazy. I'd be on board for an exchange of a legit WR and an above average offensive lineman. McCoy is still one of the greats in this game. This team will be unwatchable without him or some other talent. Trading him away for only unsure draft picks is a huge gamble. Keeping him is not.

This is GREAT news. According to your math, that's once every 3.5 games and 28.6 percent blow outs. Since we've been blown out three times out of four already this season, we only have 1.6 more blowouts left this season. If you round down, it's only ONE more blowout left! Conversely, I count that we've blown out opponents five times in 21 games. That's a 23.8 percent blowout rate and once every 4.2 games . Since we've only blown out one opponent this season, we're due for 2.8 more. Rounding up, that's THREE opponents we're set to blow out. That's a 3 to 1 positive to negative blowout ratio left for the season. If that ratio is indicative of wins/loses, I calculate we'll finish the year with 9.3 more wins and a 10-6 record. I'm buying that Allen jersey after all.

Peterman vs Tuel
Just in Atlanta replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In all fairness, the Peterman question is more than relevant. It's about a 50 percent probability he starts again this year if Allen gets hurt. -
Peterman vs Tuel
Just in Atlanta replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jeff Tuel got a bad rap. He really wan't all that bad. I'd rank him up with Thad Lewis. I'd go with with Nathan Peterman Then... Billy Joe Hobert At least Peterman studied the playbook. Kelly Holcomb, TJ Yates and Brian Bohm were all pretty bad, too, no? -

That o lineman looked like he was trying to play paddy cake with Hughes instead of blocking him. -

Dareus charged in lawsuit with sexual assault
Just in Atlanta replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
1. This chick needs a new lawyer. $15k for an STD from one of the top paid linemen in the NFL? And why on Earth would you even admit the consensual/non consensual sex part if you were only suing and not pursuing criminal charges? (Because if I were a woman, and raped, there's nothing more I'd want to do than ... have consensual sex with my attacker afterward?) 2. Dareus appears to have very little passion for the game, obviously has no self control and has the intelligence of an eggplant. What a wise move by Beane getting rid of him. I only hope the Shady story is bogus, which it appears to be. All of these guys need to choose their sexual conquests a little better. Jesus. 3. Seriously dislike the journalistic standard of not publicizing "victims' " names of sexual abuse in lawsuits while dragging the accused's name through the mud. I know she filed as Jane Doe in the suit, but journalists have been doing this for decades with other stories. When I was a reporter, I thought it was wrong, and it's wrong today. If you run a story on a suit or criminal case, you should publish both names, public figure or not, sexual crime or not. It's 2017, and by not publishing a name you're actually stigmatizing it. From a legal standpoint, you shouldn't be able to file anonymously IMO. Serious question: Can you prove a particular person gave you an STD? (I presume he knew; otherwise it wouldn't be grounds for a suit I imagine, but how can she prove Dareus gave it to her, and not, say, Mike Vick, aka Ron Mexico?). -

Rob Johnson is still bitter after 20 years
Just in Atlanta replied to Sky Diver's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's nothing in today's world of "journalism." If this article generates a lot of interest, there will be articles about the articles and articles about readers' perception of the articles. It is weak. Just provide a link to the damn article already, do your own interviews, come up with your own story ideas, and do the job that journalists used to paid for. -
Rob Johnson is still bitter after 20 years
Just in Atlanta replied to Sky Diver's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't see it like that. He was saying that Flutie had PR on his side. Part of that was Flutie's son. He wasn't making fun of the kid or anything. It's just an observation, and it's likely an accurate one. -
Rob Johnson is still bitter after 20 years
Just in Atlanta replied to Sky Diver's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He may very well be bitter, but I fail to see it based on the quotes he said, and I was on Team Flutie. Why is he bitter? Because the headline says so? He was being honest, and it was fun to see his POV. Flutie WAS considered a bit of a joke, until he started winning. Johnson understood, and dissected, the psychology behind the PR battle/public debate. And of course he thought he was the better QB. Wouldn't you if you were him? This is why public figures don't give honest interviews. So many people can't comprehend nuance. It's also a dishonest headline and weak journalism. The "contributing" writer on upstateNY.com didn't even do the interview. Just say what he said already and let readers analyze the internal workings of Johnson's mind themselves. -
I'd be shocked if they did. From a communications perspective, he's too much of an unknown. Will some snot-nosed reporter set him off? Plus, the way he retired, if in fact this is real, was not fitting for a press conference worthy player. That said, he got railroaded by the whole Martin affair. What a bunch of BS. I am glad he gave us three good years though. Hopefully, his health wasn't too affected.

A technical aside, but am I the only one who can barely read these original posts on iPhone because of the dark blue screen and black letters? I’d upload a screenshot, but the file size is too big.

Keep the picks or just get a QB?
Just in Atlanta replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Keep Taylor, who got us our playoff berth. Do whatever it takes to find our next 10-year franchise QB. Surprising to see so many fans talk about not messing up our draft bank, when the No. 1 reason for our failure has been QB. It’s a rinse and repeat mentality.
