I don't see the Falcons going better than 5-3 over their final 8. They should beat the Saints twice, the Panthers, the Jets, and the Cards. They should lose to the Bucs, Rams, and Seahawks. They might win a game they should lose but they'll also probably lose a game they should win. Going 5-3...

Hoping we add a starter. If we do that puts Lopez in competition for the 5th starter slot which I'm fine with.

This is correct. Unless we threw a irresponsible amount of money at Kim, Boras was going to take him into free agency. I expect we're still working hard to sign Kim.

My theory with Lehman is that we waited to make contact until the Series was over and were then told he wasn't interested. We had Weiss on the shelf as the backup option. It's the simplest explanation. I don't believe for a second that AA was overruled. The Braves aren't a dysfunctional...

You absolutely should be working to improve every way you can. And I think we've been doing that. AA has helped modernize the Braves analytics department. The Battery is the envy of baseball and the blueprint other teams are trying to use. My point is that in hiring a manager we didn't need to...

The Braves have had 7 losing seasons in the past 35 years. That's back to 1991, the worst to first season. People are so doom and gloom over not blowing up the culture and starting fresh with an outside manager. Do you know the number of teams that would kill to have more than 3/4 of their past...

Called it. The only thing that made me doubt this would be the move was how long it took to announce. I don't mind the move. I'm not celebrating but I completely understand it. There are probably better bench strategists in baseball but I don't think in game calls are as important as people...

I agree. With a competent HC they'd be talked about as one of the most exciting young teams in the league. With Raheem they're a laughing stock.

It's not clapping that's illegal, as I understand it. It's "abrupt" and "jerky" motion that simulates a snap. You don't want QBs moving suddenly as if they're taking the snap. QBs clap all the time to try to keep defenses from timing the snap. All Stockton did was clap. The argument was his...

Georgia can't seem to escape clapping controversy this year. Stockton was flagged for clapping too big against Florida. He got two Florida players to jump offsides using a hard count and the officials flagged him. Literally all he did was clap. If that's a penalty then we should go ahead and...

The Dolphins beat the Falcons 34-10 in Atlanta and the game wasn't as close as the score. Four days later the Dolphins lose to the Ravens 28-6 at home. Raheem Morris is a joke.

The Falcons actually picked Raheem Morris.

Shanahan made Dan Quinn look like a good coach. That should tell you how good he is. The more I think about it, the more I realize how awful the Falcons coaching has always been. It's just depressing.

This Falcons team is ridiculously poorly coached. Raheem Morris was a loser hire when we made it and if anything he's actually been worse than even I expected. We had 10 men on the field on a crucial 3rd and 13. Seriously?!?!? Penix looks to have gotten worse since last year. Whatever coaching...

Dude is amazingly good considering he's one of the slower wide outs in the league. He's never going to outrun a defender but that's not his game. He has a nose for holes in the zone and when to drop an anchor there. He also uses his body incredibly well to block out DBs, all of whom are smaller...

Auburn fans have been accusing Kirby Smart of lying when Kirby said he was clapping and not calling a timeout. I've never seen a coach call a timeout, be granted it, then deny it. But that's what Auburn fans said he did. Now we have the full story and it actually shows the refs blew a call in...

This Georgia team is the most puzzling team I've ever seen. This team plays absolutely terribly in the first half against Bama, Tennessee, and Auburn, then proceeds to look like the best team in college football in the second half. Last night didn't even look like the same team after the half.

I remember watching him in the Rose Bowl against Georgia. That was one of the best football games I've ever seen. Having watched Mayfield in that game it doesn't surprise me in the least that he became an excellent QB.

Terry McGurik was in charge of the Braves well before Cox retired and he's still at the helm. Also, culture can continue through the tenures of different leaders. In fact businesses tend to hire leaders that fit the company's culture. The Braves have a very defined culture that they actively...

I'd say Walt Weiss is the heavy favorite at this point. The Braves as an organization love stability and a handoff to Weiss with largely the same staff would be in line with that. The Braves also like to promote from within. Fredi was promoted after Cox retired. Snitker was promoted after we...
