Shaquemele Griffin getting released from the Seahawks and causing a lot of jokes about him missing a hand. I thought Shazier was going to be the next big thing in the NFL but I was worried about his lack of mass. Kinda wondering if it was just a genetically thoughness thing or if mass plays a factor. Anyways glad he isn't getting himself killed.

Agreed. Dude acts like the real deal but in the end he's just basic. First ballot hall of basic b*tch to me. Over/under to him getting imprisoned on federal charges? I give him 4 years tops.

I don't have an appropriate gif on hand but... what? Bill "Imma trade my best WR for peanuts because I can use the peanut shells to stuff my underwear to make my nuts look bigger" O'Brian in the same tier as Mike "One brilliant coordinator having a brainfart away from winning a SB" Quinn? Really? I mean Quinn isn't a great coach, but he isn't horrid either. Biggest issue with him has been finding balance with his coaching staff and bad injury luck. It's fair to put NO and TB ahead of ATL. It happends every year (Exchange TB for the Panties when appropriate). However this is an even year. And on even year ATL balls out. Compare 08 (#2 NFCS with a rookie QB), 10 (#1 Seed), 12 (#1 Seed), 14 (Hard Knocks Curse), 16 (NFC Champ), 18 (ehhh) with the uneven years 09 (Matty Ice ded), 11 (Blown out by the Giants), 13 (everyone on IR), 15 (Kyle having growing pains + no center), 17 (SB hangover), 19 (slow start) and you'll see a clear pattern. 2020 Falcons overachieving confirmed.

Bedankt! Same. But I Matt Ryan has shown he can take a middling D for the long haul as long as his offensive line is good and healthy. I'm expecting the Oline to be mediocre this year since the youth still needs to grow and jell.

If Atlanta's oline is top 12 they are taking the #1 seed If Atlanta's Oline is top 5 and healthy heading into the playoffs ATL wins the SB.

Welp, there goes our SB window. Time to get hammered.

Needed a bad call on Ray Rice vs the Chargers to get that SB brah.

I don't understand how this is a season ending injury. If the pec keeps Alford from holding he'll actually be a better CB.

Best move this offseason imo. Love me some Zimzam.

Tbh I'm still recovering from the lack of a HOF game in 2016. If only for that game to get dailed in I'm sure the Packers would have won another SB.

Oh no not the HOF game. Such a tragedy! How are people going to complain pre-season is just pure garbage without this superbowl of pre-season games?

She single?

I'm really, really curious where you found those efficiency rankings. Because they feel really off. Ryan has had a good line in the 2008 - 2010 period, when Dahl left it went to mediocre/kinda good till 2013 when it turned to crap. It wasn't until 2015 - 2016 that the line improved somewhat. I straight up refuse to believe that a line of Sam "The sackmaker" Baker (on IR)/Lamar Holmes (LOL), Justin Blalock (He was good), Peter Konz (soft as hell), Harland Gunn/Gerrett Reynolds (LOL x2), Ryan Schreader (Rookie, can't remember if he started.. probably not)/Jeremy Trueblood would be the 7th Oline in the NFL in any relevant positive statistic. Same goes for the 2015 Oline. Played a center for half a season (Mike Person) who couldn't even properly snap the ball. Also no idea how the 2016 Oline is ranked 23rd. This was probably the best lineup Ryan has played behind since 2010 and was ranked 4th by PFF. Talking about scary; Matt Ryan has 30 4th quarter comebacks to his name, one less then Ben. This is despite playing 4 less seasons. So yes, Ryan scares me more.

Ryan has won games with some horrid, horrid teams and won games he had nor his team had any business in winning. People salivate at his weapons but don't forget he had a season where he had Harry Douglas as his #1 WR and made him a 1k receiver. Sure, he plays in a Dome but usually behind an terrible Oline. While Ben has had a very good/elite Oline for most of his career. Big Ben hasn't scared me since 2010ish. Guy is pretty much always hampered by injuries that he decides to play through to show his thoughness while it hampers his effectiveness greatly.

How many more former 1st round picks does Dimitroff want? On offense James Carpenter Todd Gurley Hayden Hurst Julio Jones Chris Lindstrom Alex Mack Jake Matthews Kaleb McGary Calvin Ridley Matt Ryan Laquon Treadwell Defense Dante Fowler jr Charles Harris Takk Mckinley Keanu Neal Duane Bucannon Thats 16 first rounders and I might even have forgotten some. Is it me or is that quite a lot? On the signing itself. Like Bucannon coming out and I think he had early run at AZ. Kind of lost track of him after that so curious to see how he'll do.
