Just in Atlanta

That should go over well with the locker room, and ticket sales, and merchant sales, and advertising revenue, and trade value, and everyone else who makes a living off the team.

That’s ironic, because if 17 years of history - and our fickle, impatient fandom - prove correct, that’s the time when the head coach, and entire coaching staff, will be fired. Then, the new guys will have their own (much better) schemes to implement, starting the process all over again, and getting us all excited again. That is, of course, unless the owners keep continuity, regardless of any inevitable ire from fans like us. That’s doubtful. Many of us were (hypocritically) wanting McD’s shiny bald head on a silver platter after wrongly picking Peterman as the starter, despite the fact that 85% of us wanted it in the first place.

It's not only not stupid, it's the only decision. He tried another option, and it failed. Starting Peterman is, quite simply, illogical and bad PR at this point. Peterman is not ready, it would destroy his career, and if he played badly again there would be hell and no one would show up.

Ha ha. LA.

I feel sorry for fans who flew to San Diego to watch this sh*t parade.

Can Nate Pickman break the record? ... Jim Hardy (8 interceptions in one game) Hardy might have had the most dramatic up-and-down start to a season. In the 1950 season opener, Hardy had arguably the worst day a quarterback ever had (and that's saying something given the likes of Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell once roamed the pro gridiron). Hardy threw eight interceptionsin a 45-7 loss for his Chicago Cardinals against the defending NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Oh no! We suck again! ...Until we win again.

Also can't manufacture fog every game.

The Factory of Sadness keeps on churning.

If Shady goes down WE go down. Yes, RB as well as WR and potentially QB will all be priorities.

You didn't mention the Emancipation Proclamation, or the even the Underground Railroad, so I'll give you that.

Slave. Lol. Nice try.

Dude can't even hold onto his iPhone.

So, did he read this or what?

17 years ... and no passing game... but the AFC is OPEN. Do you think the hit on Rogers was dirty?

It costs money to run a newsroom. It's free to enter a coffee house. But you still have to pay five dollars for the latte. Don't be so cheap. Your subscription is literally less than a freaking latte.

Cord cutting. So many streaming options. Red Zone, Sunday Ticket, etc. Over saturation due to TNF. Just not special anymore. Less middle class interested due to CTE. Over officiating. Protests have also had an effect.

Bam!

Year after year, and new coach after new coach, it's the same thing: They implement their own schemes, make one unit much better, and the other, worse. Seems we always have either a D or O that performs at a playoff caliber and the other that doesn't. Bottom line, we had an offense in the top 12 last year that moved the chains. It worked, and was fun to watch to boot. I don't know if it's arrogance or just lack of knowledge, but we need to hire coordinators that can -- and will -- adapt to meet players' skillsets. It's difficult to envision this offense becoming playoff caliber this year. To make matters worse, we dismantled our wide receiver core and jettisoned a great backup RB, and never addressed the hemorrhage adequately. Our D is lights out. By the time our O catches up, I fear, it'll be time to dismantle the D again. Hopefully, with this new crew, our endless rinse and repeat cycle ends. In the meantime, I fail to see how this O can be anything but putrid.

Boo !@#$ing hoo. Taylor shouldnt even be mentioning himself in the same sentence is Aaron Rodgers. And Nobody talks about Russell Wilson this way, because he's a pocket passer, and a great quarterback. Last time I checked, the dude was black. Taylor is far from "perfect". 180 yards. Give me a break. Taylor, you do a lot of things well. You do a lot of things poorly, too. Learn how to be a better quarterback, and stop using the color of your skin as an excuse.

Fire that SOB!

Not sure if I approve of having drunken Catholics on our team.

The Fighting O's.

This "don't panic" and "chill out" post has literally come up every year since I've been on this board. At this point, when I read these, I feel like I'm being trolled. Year after year after year, same thing. We could get lucky, but not likely. This offense does not pass the eye test. Historically bad pass game, and with the injuries, and lack of depth, it does not appear as if it's going to get much better. This team is a year away from even thinking about the playoffs. After 17 years, however, I'm pretty chilled out. This defense is a joy to watch. And I'm optimistic about the future with this coaching staff.

Hoping for a modicum of substance after a brutal loss like this (or a happy win like last week). Some honesty doesn't imply airing dirty laundry. Think there is common ground between the styles of Billichick and Rex. I was hoping for something reassuring. "This broke down. That didn't go as planned. We need to work on X." Instead, spin and fluff.
