Yea, I think it's a good trade for the Saints. Short, speedy receivers are a dime a dozen so to get a 1st and 3rd for him is pretty good. I realize Cooks is very good, but it's not like he is irreplaceable.

Joey Freshwater posted:games at GB in december are just one of those legendary things you hear about. Layers and hand warmers are your friend. I've heard those overall/jacket things that construction workers dress in when it's cold are very good. My problem was my feet. I wore 2 pairs of socks and regular shoes thinking it would be enough but my one foot was concerningly frozen by the 2nd quarter. Like I felt like the veins in my foot were freezing shut so I spent a lot of time trying to get blood flow going again lol. Get yourself some warm socks and boots and that construction gear, enjoy the experience, and then watch your team lose imo

big money big clit posted:A linebacker. He's not the most physically talented guy but he has good instincts and was a key part of what was a drat good LSU defense. LSU has had a good history of putting solid, if unspectacular, into the NFL lately, so I think it's a good pickup at that spot. Quinn apparently is starting him off at WLB, so looks like our LB corps are set at Campbell/Jones/Riley? Reading up on him, he seems like a very Dan Quinny guy.

 Mike Smith sure loves his former playersBobby was really good for like a year. Him and DeCoud I thought were going to be so much more than they ended up being. I believe DeCoud went to Carolina before he found his way out of the league.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/05/dan-quinn-falcons-super-bowl-loss-patriots The sack wasn't on Ryan. Freeman completely whiffed on the block. No one in their right mind can blame that loss on Matt Ryan. He had a perfect passer rating late into the game and was the better QB... The offensive gameplan in the second half was god awful plain and simple. RUN. THE. BALL. To only run the ball five times in the second half with such a big lead is inexcusable. They run the ball at all in the second half they win the game. The thing that sucks the most is sooooooooooooo many things had to go right and wrong for that comeback. Dropping back to pass instead of running, penalties, snapping the ball with :20 on the clock, tipped balls that miraculously find their way into Patriot's receiver's hands, dropped interceptions, etc. etc. I mean, it sums it up perfectly to say the Falcons lost the Superbowl without ever being down until it was over. Such a Falcons way to lose. I do hold DQ accountable for not putting an end to Shanahan's aggressive play calling, but I can kind of understand riding the wave that got you there. If Freeman picks up the block, Ryan probably hits a wide open Gabriel for a huge gain. If they continue to run the ball, they take time off the clock and force NE to take time outs, kick the field goal and odds are Bryant hits it to go up 11 with little time. It was just a comedy of events. All that said, and I may be viewing through rose colored glasses, but I don't think this team is going anywhere and I like what they are building especially on the defensive side of the ball. I think they will be back soon, but ya never know.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:It's worth mentioning the Falcons running game in the second half was not exactly productive: Who cares? At that point, especially in the 4th, is to milk to clock and force timeouts. Neither of which they did, especially in the 4th. Besides, with gains of 5, 9 and 8 it's not like they were destined for -3 yards everytime they ran the ball which is irrelevant because running the ball would have eliminated the stupid sacks and holding calls (probably) and would have burned off a lot of time. Also, even if they kneeled on the ball three times after the Julio catch...they would have ended up on the 25 and Bryant would have had a pretty easy kick to go up two scores with little time left and would have forced NE to burn their final timeouts.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:I realize that by the second half the Falcons had to value burning up clock more than any yardage gained. But the best way to burn the clock is for the offense to stay on the field, and to do that they had to throw. If the Falcons had just ran it into the pile every down in the second half they still would have lost. There had to be a better balance on offense, obviously. But I don't think it's fair to throw so many bones at the offensive playcalling when the defense gave up five scoring drives in a row, many of them long ones. If the Falcons ran it into the pile every down in the second half, they probably would have won actually...going 3 and out over and over and over and stopping the clock due to incompletions ultimately killed them. Not to mention keeping the clock going on offense would have resulted in giving their defense SOME rest. As it was, incomplete passes and 3 and outs resulted in their defense routinely going back out onto the field and being gassed beyond recognition. They were on the field for over 90 snaps, that is ridiculous. That is a direct result of the Falcons 1) not running the ball and 2) not passing the ball effectively. Along the lines of blaming Matt Ryan, I don't know how anyone in their right mind can blame the defense who was on the field for over 90 snaps and had held one of the most explosive offenses and Tom Brady in check for basically 75% of the game for the loss. I mean it was a team effort, but I put the bulk of the blame on the offense for not doing a drat thing in the 2nd half. The final 2 series was 8 runs and 2 passes. The final 3 series was 9 runs and 4 passes. It's just dumb playcalling plain and simple. weird Asian candy fucked around with this message at 17:51 on May 16, 2017 |

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:Prior to New England's tying possession, the Falcons went 3-and-out twice, and each series had a run for negative yardage. What separates those two drives of course is a series with lots of passes resulting in a touchdown. On Atlanta's other drive that technically wasn't a 3-and-out (because it ended with a Ryan fumble) they ran it 2 out of 3 times. You can nitpick all you want. Run the ball. Win the game. It's honestly as easy as that. I'm sure it's easy to sit there being on the side you are on with your team winning, but on this side of it, especially down the stretch in the 4th, run the loving ball, kick the loving field goal, win the loving superbowl. That's really all it boils down to.

WampaLord posted:Sorry, you got blown out in the most historic Superbowl loss ever, people will literally never stop talking about it until another team chokes harder or y'all win a new one. This is the unfortunate truth. Although "blown out" isn't true...at all...the narrative will always be, and rightfully so, how the Atlanta Falcons collapsed in historic fashion and blew the largest lead in SB history. It will be with this team until they win one. If they ever win one.

They choked, you are absolutely correct. I will always think of just how many things had to happen for that to even be possible. That 4th quarter really can be titled "A Series of Unfortunate Events".

I think if you look at SB windows, I would say Falcons and Bucs have the best chance. Seems like the Saints are just destined to go 7-9 forever until Drew retires and it turns to 2-14.
