You've gotta be kidding

I truly believe that Matt Rhule DEMANDS that his coaches do their best to insult our intelligence any time they speak to the media. I truly believe Rhule thinks that people here don't know what good football is and goes out of his way to insult us. He's one of the most egotistical frauds I've ever seen. He's on Hue Jackson and Freddie Kitchens level. At least when Gus Bradley stunk up the joint in Jacksonville, he took full blame and didn't try to insult the fan base's intelligence there.

Here's that word again...

Wonder who he got that idea from🙄

Yes, having your starting left tackle be able to play guard is so valuable. What injury elsewhere on the OL would ever be worth moving your LEFT F**KING TACKLE out of position to cover it?

Im expecting another 4 or 5 win season.  The thing is, Rhule is a bad coach but we have enough talent on D to win a few games. Just enough to keep us out of the too spot of the draft imo.

That's what I'm seeing as well. Start off hot and then drop off a cliff.

5 OL, all it takes is one to give up a sack....

BC has played well, and should have been starting much sooner, it was clear when we were .500 that Erving / Scott / Daley were not the answers at LT.

Most of the sacks have been interior pressure. 

I just haven't watched closely. Once Cam played at Miami and I saw the line, then I saw the headlines blaming Cam, I turned it off.

This problem is not Darnold or Cam. It's the offensive line. Darnold and Cam are both good enough to make playoff runs if the line play is average and right now we have the bottom 1%.

Silver lining: we have the two tackles figured our, you can get decent guards in Free Agency and the draft, so all you need to figure out is Center.

Cam? Sure.  With this D and a decent OL. 

Sam? Nothing to suggests that.  We know Sam historically is worse with time and protection than without it.    It's the whole reading the field issue for Sam and knowing where to go with the ball and when.    All defenses have to do is take away the check down from Sam and play tight.....and it's a problem.

    • 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!
