REAL FOOTBALL Thread

Maybe one day Atlanta's defense will learn its lesson that you can't go soft on teams early in the fourth quarter. No way in hell it should have been that close.
 
At some point they have to kick it up a notch. That performance won't get it done the final two weeks. They play like that and they'll be 9-7 and perhaps sitting home. Maybe they do get hot, I don't know. Not seeing anything that leads me to believe that'll happen.

Freeman had a great night, though.

Not lately.

He and Julio have been really off.

Btw, if that wasn’t PI in the endzone I’m not really sure what is. But Ryan should have pulled the trigger sooner though

He can put it back on. I think a great example was the year the Packers won the Super Bowl. They hit the playoffs and Rodgers became untouchable, won 3 road games before winning the big game.

Perhaps. You never write anything in the NFL off. Look at the Eagles. Not that long ago they were the laughing stock of the NFL, Browns level bad and just one draft turned them around. But if the Rams are legit, they'll be tough to top.

All about the qb still so it will end up being who ends up with the better player. Goff gas been real good and Jimmy G needs to demonstrate a larger sample. I REALLY like what I'm seeing. Guts like Bill Simmons even says he looks like Brady with the way he vocalizes and commands the offense.

The cap situation is fanatstic. Obviously a big portion of that is going to garappolo. They can trade their first rounder for a nice haul thisbyear. The talent on the defensive line is there. Lots of other hood looking young guys. Need to build the offensive line back up before anything and also try to get a young rb to develop.

Lots of work to do but when you potentially have the QB it gets exciting.

Don’t sell Breida short. He can likely pull a lot of weight in a platoon at RB and he’s about as fast as you will find at RB

Agreed. I'm just thinking 2 years down the road. Hyde is an underrated runner and as you said Breida gas ability. I'm optimistic for the future. Shanahan has done a he'll of a job. Even before the qb change the 49ers were in a bunch of games late.

Ryan is feeling the loss if him this year. It's just temporary.

Your team needs to make sure to protect your QB, now that you actually have one again. You see how much difference having a real QB has made just over the past 3 weeks? Jimmy G is the real thing and will get even better IF they keep him in the upright position.

Ryan's line has been the bigger difference between him last year and this year. That and flukes. Something like all but 3 of his INTs were off one of his own players. Shanahan is a smart offensive mind though. There's no denying that.
 
This is my million dollar fantasy question. Bortles or Brady. I didn't think I'd ever say that, but Brady has been mediocre to bad the last 3 weeks and Buffalo shut him out once before. But they're playing at home. And he's Tom Brady so he can uncork 300 and 3 TDs any given sunday. Bortles has been rock solid the last 4 weeks. Buffalo has the 12th most efficient pass defense, SF the 31st. Do I risk my championship game on benching Brady? ****.

I feel your pain, Drew Brees is my #1 QB and I just checked and points wise he's #7 in my league, behind, among others, Alex freakin' Smith. Russell Wilson is the #1 QB in that league points wise. To make matters worse I'm in the 3rd place game and I'm already down 94 points to my opponent who ran Joe freakin' Flacco out there. This season and this league are impossible to figure out.
