Just in Atlanta

What an odd premise. That’s coming from an agnostic. Using your logic, an atheist coach would have no faith in anything he can’t predict. Sports is nothing but faith. And in multiple studies, intuition (a form of conviction) is proven just as important as logic. In fact, our over reliance on technology has been studied extensively in its role in causing us to make worse decisions because we are suppressing our intuition. Your post preaches “analytical data” but lacks data, logic or even anecdotal statements backing it up. Having said that, McD made a gutless decision to not go for it, data or conviction aside, and it cost us.

Guard somehow against the slant. Guard somehow against the fade. Hit him often, mercilessly, and within the rules.

I would love to keep him, and draft a QB to build around. But he's too good to keep as a stop-gap and backup. He'll get too much demand. He has so many skills and qualities. But he's clearly – clearly – not a deep playoff caliber thrower when the game is on the line and you need him to front your team. Not a knock, just a well documented observation from watching him for three years. Not sure how any fan could think Taylor would win a championship, let alone a Superbowl, without an elite D and a perfect offensive game plan.

We suck again!

Carolina Chronics? or Charlotte Blazers?

Neither of us can prove it of course. To answer your question, Suh is an animal. And his arm is as thick as Tyrod's head. And he's wearing gloves. It probably hurt, but it hurt Tyrod, judging by his reaction, more.

He is a dirty little tw*t of a player. That punch had force. It wasn't just swinging. Don't understand how anyone could think that it wasn't intentional, especially given his reputation.

Some extra points: Zay just can't catch the tough balls. After 14 games, I don't have too much hope he will be anything other than a No. 3. Without KB healthy, we have no true WR threat. Great Michael Jackson dance moves though. Clay played a great game. Not a speedster but he has so much power. I thought TT had a masterful first half. The entire offensive game plan went limp in the second half. Plus, we have a below-average WR corps. He's not a playoff gamechanger, and we need to draft a QB high in April, but he gets too much flack around here. Count our blessings IMO. Love the shot on 4th. Didn't work but the killer instinct is where I want this offense to be. Yes, White should be DROY! He is dynamite in every way. I agree - the pass rush was a welcome relief. We had Cutler jonseing for a smoke the entire day. Speaking of Cutler, he deserves the MVP slot. Thanks in part to our rush, he was awful. It's tough getting used to a woman calling a game, and her voice is a bit grating at first, but she knew her stuff. Kudos for your notes after two punch-bowl upheavals.

Just some harmless fun with fire.

So epic. I fully expect some Sam Spence music behind it soon.

Super fun game.

Tolbert has incriminating evidence against McD from some wild holiday party in Charlotte involving an intern, a donkey and a Suzanne Somers Thigh Master. That should be the only reason this guy is still playing.

Tollllbbberrrt!

Peterman just seems to not have certain instincts. What was he thinking?

Starting Zay Jones as WR3 may push my fantasy team out of playoff contention. What was I thinking?!

The very survival of this game depends on players stopping the practice of using their heads as weapons.

At this point, after 18 years, and countless pats* games, I’m already ready to fire the next coach. In all seriousness, though, Dennison's days look numbered.

That’s with the French said.

Respectfully disagree. Shows a complete lack of pride, passion, cohesiveness and sense of team. You can't let people do things like that to you or your teammates - in life or in games. The non response showed a team mentally and physically beat down.

LOLz. We gut our roster then we're supposed to give credit for winning a few games? We're like battered wives us Bills fans. Stockholm Syndrome.

Does "poise" translate to heartless, complacent or something else?

Someone needs a McCoach cliche gobbledygook translation chart. Let's start with... One day at a time We're focused on the next game That's not what I saw

Well that was unsatisfying.

I've lost all respect for that dope. He better be suspended. He should be suspended. But he won't. Assault with a "deadly weapon?" Don't think so.

Yeah, Whitehall is nice. While you’re here, take a walk on the Beltline if you can.
