I was going to add that to one of my posts. I'm calling it the "Brady Syndrome". GMs can't think all these guys can play well as the age like Brady. Brees and Rivers arms starting giving out a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking to pull together capital to try and get a top pick for a QB, thats the way to go. Obviously, if they can net a top 5/10 pick without having to do so, that is obviously preferred.

ChronicAndKnuckles Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 This Falcons team has no fight in them. Reminds me of mid 2000s Bills. Where the heck is Pitts? Guy was supposed to be the next Antonia Gates. He needs to be a better outlet for Matt Ryan from all the pressure he faces. I hope really hope that stupid Jax game doesn't come back to bite us in the *** in the division race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The penalties for Atlanta. Product of that art smith guy being a terrible coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Gump Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 These refs are brutal. Throw a flag, make sure to throw another one the other way to compensate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Matt Ryan and Julio Jones to those huge long contracts back in 2018 was not wise. All of Ryan's restructures has him with a $48M cap hit next year. They need a complete rebuild. $48M, holy crap. Big dead cap if they cut him I'm guessing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he had more than 2 seconds to throw... Instead of spending draft picks on shiny overhyped TEs they should've invested in the offensive line.

That being said, if they can keep Pitts and still have a chance at a decent QB, that is likely the preferred approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk71 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I hate when teams go into prevent defense and just concede points to the two minute offense. It's so frickin stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have to win a toss up game. Bucs is a must win. Or we won’t get the bye. I feel like almost every game is a must win down the stretch, but if they drop one then it would be preferable that it's an NFC team. Although, I would trade an AFC lose for a win over Brady. I'm just speaking mathematically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way in hell Belicheck was not going to take him away in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pussified coaching again. They're still very much in the NFC playoff race if they can close out a few more wins. I agree they should grow some balls though. They're getting bullied out there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
