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?

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
