I dropped my defense in fantasy football this week and picked up Atlantas defense. Boy was that a mistake. 

I did the same in my money league.  And Falcon kicker as a cherry on top.

I honestly wish I had just one person in my life that ever believed in me with such certain delusion as the crowd who has enabled Bryce Young to hornswoggle a starting QB spot in the NFL, and then keep him in that role for 2 more years than he deserved.

we win by 30 points and you still talkin about Bryce, you aint tired of being angry everyday?

NY confirmed so it didn't get reviewed on field which is really just NY looking at the play and telling the refs what's what. 

The optics of a big play like that not being reviewed on the field is bad.  He caught the ball.  Nothing is lost by going  under the hood.

The biggest issue on the team even on a fantastical day…..did nothing to boost his stock.  Seems like an unavoidable convo given we got 14 more games ahead

That’s gotta be the weirdest 30-0 win ever.  The defense obviously played well, but uh, I don’t feel some surging confidence in the team afterwards like you would expect after that.  Just whelmed.

My biggest takeaway from the game is Penix is fuging terrible.  Thank God he made Bijan, an actual threat, a complete non factor.

Hopefully they build on it and carry some momentum going forward.

i feel exactly the same it was a hard game to watch.  wasnt that the panthers offense defense or special teams got on track it was just penix played so terrible that the falcons were begging to loose

By definition if you truly didn't care you wouldn't be here trying to police other fans comments.

We can celebrate a team win helmed by our defense backfield and OL and also acknowledge reality. It's not that complicated.

This team has now won 2 in a row against the Falcons, with 74 total points scored. Very few things feel as good as beating the piss out of the falcons. 

Another year, same falcons. Paper tigers. Don’t know what to do when they get hit in the face. Penix played like he was hearing footsteps all game.

    • In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa" 
    • Ah yes, my bad. It's easy to forget those handful of games Frank coached. LOL 
    • I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
