Because McAdoo's offense is all about the TE.

In the 5th game of the year we're finally running some of the personnel and formations most of us have been begging for since the off-season.

That kick return

I tuned in just in time to see them scoring.

The protection Brady gets from refs is criminal. The Falcons' just got 100% FUGED.

Pretty much. There's 10 teams that would be contending for the #1 overall pick in most seasons.

Truly one of the worst I've seen. If Mariota wasn't mobile I don't know how they'd ever even get a pass off.

It's a really bad year to suck. It's wild how many truly awful teams there are in the NFL this year. There are gonna be some truly awful teams that might not even be drafting in the top 10 next April.

Man, the Falcons fuging suck. I'm afraid we might actually beat them a time or two.

Watching that awful Thursday night game, Russell Wilson looked absolutely indistinguishable from the Panthers' version of Baker Mayfield. They're the same guy. And the Broncos traded a kings ransom and then paid him $200M+.

The way Wilson looks this year away from Seattle and Pete Carroll paired with how Geno looks this year playing in Seattle with Pete Carroll certainly brings up some real questions.

Yeah, I don't care as long as it's effective but I'm just saying watching this game I can't imagine any QB having success for the Falcons this afternoon.

Mariota is playing better than the stat line looks. Dude is running for his life from the moment of the snap nearly every play. A lot of the misses have been very near misses. Every QB in the league is struggling dealing with what he's dealt with today.

It'll probably be a competitive (in a futile and awful manner) game. The Falcons' OL is pathetic. I honestly feel bad for Mariota watching this game.

Falcons convert 3rd and 10 but if Mariota goes to the post route there it's probably a TD.

They need to sit him and let him heal up. He's not helping them right now.

Brady's arm is fading. That deep ball was underthrown and hung up in the air to give the DB an opportunity to recover. That play was open. WR had two steps on him.

Yes. I think he's going to keep playing until the phone quits ringing or he breaks a hip.

This 1pm slate of games just doesn't look very good. Like at all.

He wasn't concussed, he just bounced his head off the turf and then got up staggering around like a drunk man while holding his head. Obviously he just hurt his back.

I feel good about our core young defensive talent. Considering the amount of draft capital we've spent there we damn well should. I honestly think this team is a QB and a coaching staff away from being pretty damn good. Unfortunately, that QB piece is by far the toughest one to find.

Yikes, I missed that line. Good grief.

I mean, they license boxing and MMA events.

Agreed. I don't ever see him even being considered for another NFL job. And yeah, I think he's going to have to prove himself again at another mid-level college program or a former powerhouse program in shambles before he'll get a shot at a legit powerhouse program or a program actually on the doorstep of potentially becoming a powerhouse program. Honestly, the fit at Nebraska makes a lot of sense for both parties. Nebraska is a former powerhouse in shambles and Matt Rhule has shown twice that he can drag college programs out of the basement and make them competitive. What he hasn't shown is that he can sustain it or that he can take the step from competitive to legit contender. That combined with his massive flop with the Panthers is why I can't see any big time programs considering him. It's gonna be mid-level programs or complete rebuild programs that will be wanting Matt Rhule IMO.

Meanwhile, by far the best offenses we've fielded under Rhule came with Joe Brady at OC. Joe Brady might ultimately prove to be a legit OC I just think NFL OC was too much too soon for him. He'll get another NFL OC gig way before Matt Rhule lands another NFL HC gig.
