I don't give us much of a chance. We're just not anywhere near their level and the Ravens need the win to stay in contention. Considering their running game and defense, we're going to come out of this one bruised and battered. Still, there's always a chance in the NFL. A 10 percent chance of winning for us seems generous.

Sheesh, where does Marc Davis spend all of his money? Great Clips?

If the list doesn't start with Michael Jordan at #1, then don't bother reading the list.

I've been saying for a while now that getting a stud DE to pair up with Burns would have a more immediate positive impact on this team with less chance of a let down. There are soooo many things that can make a QBs transition to the pros a difficult and dicey deal, especially at the top of the draft where there are huge and immediate expectations. Now, a DE like Peppers (okay he was a once in a lifetime player) or even Detroit's Aidan Hutchinson for example can make an impact right off the bat because there are only so many variables to account for as they move into the big league. There's never a sure bet, but there are smarter ones for sure.

Character matters at this level just as it does at every level. Guys like that can be coached, motivated and can do the same for their teammates.

No professional teams in Nebraska. He'll be back home. Good luck to him, hope he does well. We've moved on.

You get enough young men like him on a team, you build something good and strong for a generation. On the field or off.

And that was rightfully pointed out to the players. Those who get it and stomp the accelerator to work hard for their chances get the opportunity to keep earning a good pot full of money next year. Those who don't get motivated by it, well, it shows something that we might not have learned otherwise. Best of luck to them in their new endeavors.

Some people just like to hate on other folks and kickers are easy targets. Good for Joey, good for Taylor, good for Ron. Best of luck to them. That was a helluva game plan to take down the Eagles.

There's more truth to this than a lot of us want to admit. Both of those guys deserve a chance to perform without Rhule here. Give them each three games to start before the end of the season.

Have any of those top draft QBs we're looking at actually changed the trajectory of their whole program? If not, then chances are they can't do it here, either. There's a reason teams with high draft picks are often teams with high draft picks year after year. They keep begging for a miracle and playing the lottery assuming that someday their number will come in.

I just might. And I'm usually of the mind you don't buy other people's problems.

Well, here's hoping he recovers fully. We move on, some other guys are going to get opportunities.

New one just hit, if you're interested.

In some areas, but he's not anywhere near his quality yet. Von has a killer instinct that even goes beyond what most pass rushers have. I'm not sure if Burns has that much of one.

Umm, J-Bunny?

Without a doubt, but in Burns' case, it is doubly important. He doesn't have the mass to successfully take on doubles all game long. I still think he was picked to, and made for, playing as an OLB in a 3-4 defense.

I'm pretty sure everything is playing out according to plan at the moment.

Burns does his best work when there is another good pass rushing DE on the other side of the formation. And I really think Marquis Haynes is far outplaying YGM right now. Haynes was a monster out there last night.

Yeah, that'll help.

Honestly, Atlanta is in that transitional first year with a new coach. We'll be there next season unless Wilks is retained. Atlanta has some of the pieces but they are a QB and some defensive pieces away. We're, ummm, not that different. Still, I think the in division games this season for the NFCSouth should be interesting as all of the teams are on par with each other... and that's not a compliment. Remember when this was the toughest division in the NFL?

Honestly, it's a weird season for the NFL.

It was a good play, but yeah, even if there are options within it, you can't go to the well too many times with it. I just want them to drop most of the smoke passes they try to make to DJ. He doesn't have that ability to break the first tackler like Smitty did. They need to work on getting DJ down field a bit. I'm really tired of completed passes that go for -1 to 1 yard. Maybe we do need to run Darnold and Mayfield back out there just to see if we can open things up a bit.

Sometimes two bad teams make for a good game. I enjoyed the win. I cheered more than I thought I would. These games have become rare and I'm going to enjoy them when they happen. Life is too short.

Congrats on the good news, that has to be a major relief! Hope everything else falls into place so well for you!
