The Falcons explanation seems a little odd

So, from what I've read, a big part of the reason the NFL went easy on the Falcons is because they determined that nobody in the team's upper management was involved.

Instead, the mastermind of this insidious plot to pump additional crowd noise into the stadium and disrupt opposing team offenses was...

...a marketing director? :blink:

Seriously?

So inbetween coming up with ad campaigns, approving commercials and trying to find ways to sell more tickets, merchandise and cheap, high quality jerseys, this office guy conceived a plan to try and psych out opposing teams on the field from behind his desk in the marketing department?

Really? :unsure:

Ooookay.

Someone remind me: What was the name of that series Lee Majors starred in where he played a stuntman?

I'm hoping he gets at least a million to take the fall for them to make up for that slap on the wrist fine

I'm hoping that they find out he got a million to lie and say it was all him and then the Falcons get fuged over for real when that comes out.

If they did get a guy to take the fall, then I'm pretty sure they'll get away with it.

That's just stuck in my head ever since it came out. How in the hell would an office guy - a guy named Roddy White, oddly enough - come up with a plot to disrupt action on the playing field?

Just doesn't make sense.

The 'Fall' Guy. Brilliant.

That may have been rhetorical but many probably don't know the name.

Marketing is PSYOP. I have no doubt this creative ass dreamed himself into a corner with an idea. I do doubt the execution of it. But in the end I'm fine with them getting a 5th rd taken next yr. I just can't bring myself to be that outraged about this scandal.

I wouldn't say I'm outraged.

I do find the explanation a little off-kilter though.

It's a convenient explanation for sure. But quite literally any explanation would be met with down right skepticism and more than a few conspiracy theories.

It honestly can happen.  Marketing people have option to buy poo to improve stadium without authorization from the owner.  Thing is... Maaaaaannnnnnnyyyyyy people knew about it.  Marketing have to get authorization from Finance department because it was not in the budget I'm sure.  Who authorized marketing department funds for these speakers?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
