The best team Atlanta plays this year is Carolina

I was just looking at Atlanta's schedule for the rest of the year.  The Panthers started out with a cupcake schedule, but man, Atlanta's entire season is a cakewalk.  Easily the most difficult games will come against the Panthers.  Going to be a tough road to a third division championship.

Starting in late November they get two teams that could pose a threat to them in the Colts and Vikings and then two cupcakes that could sneak up on them right after that if they look ahead to our two contests. But man oh man, that might be the easiest schedule in history.

Why dont they play the seahawks??

For real? Anyone care to explain how that works? Why do we play them every year, but not Atlanta. I have no idea how NFL scheduling works. That is the most pansy schedule I have ever seen. But all that means is when they face a good team like us they should get thumped. Especially in the playoffs

they schedule your conference divisional opponents based on their previous rankings. Since we won our division we have to play the other nfc division winners besides our other scheduled games. The falcons play the second place teams, the saints the third and the bucs play the 4th.

 

It's supposed to be a competitive balancing policy.

Stop worrying about the Falcons. By the time we play them twice in Dec Matty Ice's noodle arm will be throwing up water balloons to Norman and Co.

WE are back to back Division Champs! It's time y'all started acting like u know that. If they want the crown, they have to take it from us, not the other way around!

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
