A.o.D. posted:Oh man, I sure do hope the Falcons end up with Chip. Oh man can the offense get off the field even faster? weird Asian candy posted:That said, these guys are young and the Falcons are going to be a force in the NFC for at least the near future. What sucks is you never know when you will be back, if ever, unless you are the Patriots I mean, maybe? They're the same pros and joes team that they've been since Julio got there, and their best 5 players are: Matt Ryan, guy coming up to next extension where you'll pay him 27 mil/year. Julio Jones , locked in for 13.5/mil for the near future and hopefully doesn't lose his foot; has only started a complete season once and plays hurt constantly Alex Mack, a really great center you're paying 11 million dollars/year to for his 32-35 year old seasons which could probably work out. Freeman, last year of contract Beasley, your only legit no-strings young star, for 3 years. Next best guy after that is Jake Matthews. That's not a good next best. And if anyone on the line actually get injured next year, they'll drop off entirely.

FizFashizzle posted:Their best defender is Marcus trufant, not Beasley. Think you mean desmond, but this is his option year and the last year of his contract. Also they played better after he left, which doesn't make any sense to me because he is good, but he's not a young core to build on anymore. Debo Jones could turn into that though.

weird Asian candy posted:They are resigning him, he's not going anywhere. The entire rookie class looks like they could be the core to build around. Jones, Neal, Campbell all look like they will have promising futures. The problem with great guys at market value is that you can't win poo poo with them if you don't have great guys on their rookie deals. You can basically judge every team in the NFL on if they hosed up the market value of their veterans or were able to backfill their team with cheap talent from the draft or UDFAs. See: Seahawks defense and Russell Wilson until they all got paid and turned into pumpkins. I think Atlanta looks promising for next year, but it's not clear that they'll remain the best team in the South with their bad defense and O-Line that scrapped together a good season out of no where after years of falling over themselves (see: Panthers). Then there's the matter of the rest of the NFC not rolling over.

Chilichimp posted:Nah, our line is good right now because of alex mack. We could use better guards and a good reserve tackle. Bad lines tend to overperform when they have continuity and stay healthy. Alex Mack is a huge difference maker, but he probably couldn't salvage that line if anyone went down. Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:What is Atlanta going to do for OC? Internal promotion? Shanahan is probably poaching anyone he thinks is worth a drat. Bringing in someone like Kelly at least means Kelly can bring in his guys to re-staff. weird Asian candy posted:I doubt Carolina is as bad as they were again, Tampa is up and coming and New Orleans still has Brees so the division should be fun again. I'm a bit worried about Tampa, and Carolina could probably fix a lot of problems if they spend money. Saints have no cap space, so basically have to hope they can draft a pass rusher, a 2nd/3rd round O Linemen/DB that can grow into the role, and then hope the line doesn't have injuries again. weird Asian candy posted:Because super gently caress the Saints The Atlanta Falcons football team lost in the Super Bowl, leading 28-3 with 17 minutes left in the game. It was the worse championship game collapse in NFL history. That, and Tom Brady's transcendent comeback performance will be all that people remember about this season's finale.

Silly Burrito posted:The same way two brothers who are very much alike can have a heated rivalry. We hate each other's teams, because that is exactly what you are supposed to do. You can segment my facebook friends into a. my college friends not from New Orleans who became die hard Saints fans because they started college in 2006 and we made them watch football every Sunday and b. People from New Orleans originally, primarily high school friends. One group cheered for the Pats, one for Falcons. It was the ultimate bandwagon fan test.

weird Asian candy posted:I was most definitely rooting against the Saints and Panthers during their Superbowl runs but I was legit happy for the Saints posters here because they are good people. The quality of Falcons posters have improved since 2009, mostly through attrition. I really wish I got a Lloyd meltdown out of this, and I'd like to think he's still lurking the forums since he kept doing it for a year or two after his ban. And back then I lived with the loudest, most annoying falcons fans. Here, I think I have a photo of them somewhere...

Alaois posted:man the fuckin Falcons Reeeeally positive game script for the Falcons. Gifted a tiny lead when their offense did nothing, so they could lean on their rushing which is their only real strength, and use the clock to push the Rams one dimensional on offense (so that we all ignore that ATL got absolutely gashed by the run game, because it didn't matter). Basically allowed them to cover up all their flaws and put a QB who needs his coach to walk him through progressions over his headset into a hurry up. This was always going to be how the Rams lost in the playoffs; just had to see which team was going to get them in that situation.

Chilichimp posted:Hey guys... did we lose a superbowl last year? I only ask because CHRIS COLLINSWORTH COULDN'T GET THROUGH A SINGLE loving SERIES WITHOUT BRINGING IT UP!!! It's fine. Let's talk about the time the Falcons lost to the Giants in the first round when they could only score a safety. Or Matt Ryan throwing a pick six to GB to close out the first half in 2008 and then all the fans left and went home and didn't come back for the 3rd Quarter. When I'm driving home after a bad day, this is where my mind goes. Not even to the Superbowl. I cut deep into the back catalogue B-side failures.

sexy tiger boobs posted:yes gashed by the run game... they had like 2 nice runs all night. Yeah man, that's my point. They averaged 7 yards a carry, but never could lean into volume because they were behind and almost immediately were down two scores with Atlanta having no trouble chewing clock in the 2nd half.

What did I say that's false? It was a solid strategy that starting working well in the 3rd quarter, and I think the Rams got outcoached in the second half because they couldn't control the tempo of the game like they have been all season.

YOLOsubmarine posted:We might lose. Divisional games are weird. This is the most pessimistic I've entered a season since like 2008, so I'm real pleased. E: Firing all the assistants looks like it was a pretty good decision. I know it was mostly Sean trying to protect himself and buy himself another year, but obviously worked a bit. Or it didn't. We had a great defense in 2013 and the same personnel fell to absolute poo poo a year later so maybe that'll happen again. sponges posted:Your team cheated in the most loathesome scandal in NFL history and you’re gloating about it.

Chilichimp posted:Yeah, but I think this year the Falcons take home the unfortunate interception situation trophy in both negated by penalty and freakish circumstances categories Falcons are 6-4 in 1 score games, which probably implies that they're the lucky ones. Especially because two of those are teams that would have gotten into the wild card over them had they won. Also 10 games this year were 1 score games, christ. Saints were 1-4 in 1 score games, and ended the season But Panthers are 8-1 in 1 score games and are far and away the luckier of the 3.

My mother in law picked one up for us before visiting this weekend and that poo poo is so good, but there was a two hour wait to get them. My friend owns Mr. Bubbles on Canal and they sell Dong Phuong cakes and they have to put in their orders days in advance now because demand is so high. All these people are right. Theirs is the best, and it's a crazy dark horse in a city with like 6 traditional mainstays.

PostNouveau posted:Rouse's is a solid king cake especially for the price, but it's pure madness to call it the best. It's the replacement level. If you bring anything worse than a Rouse's cake, you're bad person. It's a very good cake and it's pretty cheap so there's no reason to bring anything cheaper or spend more on worse cakes.
