Convinced this game was thrown, intentionally

I honestly feel this game was lost on purpose, either to protect the draft pick or to push another South Team into the Playoffs as previously agreed to by the teams. Maybe next year it will be our turn for ATL to LET us win.

After a dominating first half, we get owned the second. Seems fishy and I honestly believe my first theory above is correct. I just wish the team would release to its fans that "Hey, we are going to come out and show you what we really got, but in the end we'll play like a start up high school team". Of course, they couldnt do that cause it would hurt sales.

I hope it's worth who ever we get in the draft to keep your fans on a roller coaster, USE YOUR PICK WISELY!

:piggy:

Just frustrated really cool internet people, just frustrated.

My follow on comments, this should better explain my position to those who can't make it past the first post.

Yea, the hole letting them win to push them into the playoffs, fairly stupid of me to say, just frustrated. But, I still don't feel its too far fetched about protecting the draft pick. Just one of those years that makes no sense to me, at all.

Holy Sh*t you folks are like a bunch of fat kids with only one donut. Obviously I dont believe we let ATL win to get them to the Playoffs, just trying to display how it appeared they quit, didnt show back up, went on Hiatus, gave up....on purpose? probably not, but could be seen as a strategy with the draft. If you can't see it or even think it, your blind

    • I mean, yes, there is a difference between looking at a box score and watching film.  But PFF has a big subjective aspect to some of their grades.  That's how you get a 2/4 being better than 3/5 with a TD.  You aren't using stats at that point or factual events, but subjective analysis of plays.   And it's not like it is the same subjective analysis applying across all the players.   Same guy grading BY's incompletions (which are putting him over the top) isn't grading everyone else's incompletions and completions.  So it's different subjective takes/viewpoints applied.  There is no way everyone at PFF views grading out a play the same.  Then it all dumps into the same spreadsheet.  Hit the sort button.  Sometimes I feel it gets really weird and and collective data starts saying some weird stuff that just isn't true.   
    • Yeah, Sanders had a very nice debut preseason performance but the folks acting like he's arrived based on that performance are getting way out ahead of themselves.
    • I won't be surprised if Graham disappoints. Maybe not outright bust but never lives up to his draft status. The more I watched him at Michigan the more I came away impressed by the other Michigan DT. I think he might be the real player. Usually when you have two high level prospects in the same college unit one of them ends up getting fraud checked in the NFL as being largely carried by the other guy. Peppers and Ryan Sims at UNC comes to mind. Lavar Arrington and Courtney Brown at Penn State, etc.
