I keep saying and its still true that Ron Rivera just doesn't value safeties.  He just wants place-holders there.  If they can breathe and not be horrendous on a regular basis, he's good with that.

I think our safeties over the years of the Rivera Regime prove that out.

Falcons draft makes no sense...  Their biggest team strengths are WR and CB and their biggest weakness is OL and DT... They drafted WR and CB..

Good for us. 

Failcons always try to counter us like last time we took Funchess and they went Collins. We go Moore, they go Oliver.

And we always got shredded by big plays

and instead we should kick the wheels on about 20 different CBs trying to replace Norman ROFL

"If they can breathe and not be horrendous..." God if that isn't the truth

Why do we continuously draft on potential and projects rather than guys with great instincts and great tape?

We drafted a fuging frail track star over a guy like Oliver or Reid.  Smh...

We always make it harder than it should be when the obvious is staring us in the face.

Yeah, we just need a good in the box/tackling SS and a FS that has some kind of clue what the hell he is doing out there.

Our defense has always been built on the front 7.

Norman was an unwarranted surprise. Some Coastal Carolina kid couch surfing with potential. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
