*lights penis on fire*
Don't worry guys, you don't have to be stuck rooting for an aging and injury-prone team. There is a light in the darkness, you just need to open your eyes.
Phins have a much better chance than STL b/c you have corners that will press. The strength of the Rams is the front 4, but playing off and allowing quick throws negates that.
I certainly wouldn't want to have to face our D with playoff Peyton either.
I love you Broncos-Age
You mean the playoff Peyton who won 1 SB and almost won another? That's still something. The Colts had the worst coach ever after Dungy too.
Honestly I can't hate on Seahawks fans either. We'll bond over our mutual hate for 49ers.

I'd rather join RBH in lighting my penis on fire.

The problem is Carroll and Jimmy Wilson are not good DB's. At all. If Patterson is back and healthy it helps a lot (and Davis the rookie would be nice also) but Carroll or Wilson on any of the top three WR's for Atlanta is a huge mismatch. Also, Grimes' height could hurt him against Jones and/or Roddy.

They should just follow STL's blueprint and single cover Julio.

Problem is at least with Nolan Carrol is that he'll have really boneheaded plays that are really costly (TDs), we really need Patterson back and we need to prove that we can control the TEs which is what Ireland payed Ellerbee and Wheeler all that money for but so far I don't see it. Anyways these injuries are something we absolutely need to take advantage of, I hope it's at least a close game and we don't get burned for 21+ in the first half, I don't think this offense can show up to a shootout, at least not yet.

So does Denver need to fear anything about Pryor throwing the ball or should we just load 8 in the box and make sure he doesn't run wild?

Worst OP ever
It's so depressing. Fisher said yesterday in his press conference he doesn't believe in no huddle unless it's at the end of the games. Said he doesn't want to give a guy like Ryan more possessions. He's a defensive coach. He wants to shorten the game. So short passes to get first downs and avoid turnovers. They just aren't going to throw deep unless it's off play action shot plays because then there might be third and long. He wants to manage the clock like it's still ground and pound, only using short passes to go along with a run game he doesn't have
That's a function of a lack of trust in Bradford as anything else.
This is the same way moRon runs the Panthers offense. Just ultra conservative and plodding. It's no coincidence that when we ran the 2 min drill at the end of the first half, Cam orchestrated a 90 yard TD drive. Cam is best suited in an up-tempo, no huddle offense that allows him to make 2-3 quick reads and use his legs to extend plays. But moRon and Shula seem intent on fitting a square peg into round hole and trying to mold Cam into this Tom Brady-esque pocket passer. It's fucking frustrating as hell.
Pryor still can't make decisions to save his life. Jags loaded 8 in the box and isolated Pryor it worked for the until the Raiders got their run game going. Speaking of which Raiders are 1st in the NFL in rushing and tied for 1st with sacks. Amazing. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Funny, last week after we won we still managed to move down on some power rankings, now we are jumping ahead by 10 spots or so. Feels good.

I'm glad you're optimistic. I'm highly doubtful of getting to 8-8 much less 11-5 with the way this team has looked through two weeks now. It's still early though and it's not October yet.
lolol, Cam doesn't make 2-3 reads in a quarter much less a single play.
While they're unlucky with their own injuries, the Patriots continue to have good luck when it comes to their opponents. Dashon Goldson is suspended week three and now the Falcons will be without Biermann, Witherspoon, and Jackson in week four, not to mention that Roddy White is gimping his way down the field. If the rookie receivers can grow some hands within the next couple of days, those two games could be there for the taking.
Dear god this sucks to be a Falcons fan
Yesterday we put Ewing and Biermann on IR our starting FB and starting DE
Today Weatherspoon is put on IR DTR he is our starting LB and Steven Jackson will be out 4 weeks. Roddy White and Asante Samuel are still injured and barely playing, Our Oline is in shambles and Ryan will not survive much longer with how bad they are.
We've lost 4 starters in the last 48 hrs, and half our team is banged up and injured and it is only week 2.
We are screwed.

The only fear I got is they get cocky and do not play as hard as they can. If they are at full octane the Raiders should look pretty bad.
But you see Janoris shut down Julio 8 years ago in college so it was a good idea
edit: BG this is why you want Hoyer over JCamp
Yeah definitely not feeling great about this season anymore. Our o line is pretty terrible and it looks like the Saints will probably take the division this year. Now I think we will be lucky to grab a wild card spot.
How many receivers were past the line of scrimmage?
Seems like a bad play when he has only 1 target to throw to.

I'd much appreciate it if the Texans-Ravens game does not get switched off again this year due to lack of competition.

Don't stop believing!
Im all for making fun of Jason Checkdown. But in that play iirc the line failed horribly and he had little choice but to under hand toss it to that dude. Although one has to wonder why he was there on a 4th and 10 idk. But yeah on that play Jason Checkdown didnt have much of a choice really. It was that or run out of bounds which is even worse
As a Falcons fan let me reassure you we are fucked and Miami will win. We have so many injuries right now that we may end up 6-10 this year.
Jackson is out 2-4 weeks, Snelling and Quiz will get his carries but they are not nearly as good. Watcha Rookie we have named Vaughn who was a beast in pre season. Our Oline is trash and without a running game Miami will be able to tee off on Ryan. Ryan is awesome and will connect with Julio to make it maybe interesting for 1 QTR but eventually that will not be enough.
Our defense just lost Bierman and Weatherspoon who were two of our best defensive players. Our dline is light and finesse based which means they get pushed around alot. We will be playing 2 rookie LB's alot Bartu and Worrilow who are very impressive but are still rookie's and were not even drafted but showed up big time in pre season.
The only birght side is our secondary who are also young. Trufant, Alford and Mcclain have looked amazing and pretty much shut down Brees in week one and player really well last week.
In short Miami will be facing a Falcons team at 40% strength due to injuries and will crush us. I just pray that Ryan does not get horribly injured because of our crappy oline.

Sucks to have a bunch of injuries but better to have them in week 2 then the playoffs. Falcons will make the playoffs for sure, so they just need to get healthy by then.
sorry bro but i can't take your opinion seriously since you like the raiders
Bartu will replace Weatherspoon, Dent is our starting MLB. Worrilow will also get alot of playing time
Bartu and Worrilow were rookie UDFA's but both have been playing like 1st rounders since pre season. However they are still rookies and we are still fucked this year with all the injuries.
Oh, these new Falcons fans are amusing.
Biermann is average as fuck. Change his name to Will Overstreet or Chauncey Davis and nobody would know the difference.
Spoon hurts for sure, but, of course, I've been shitting on him since day one. He's our best cover linebacker so that will be a struggle.
Worrilow hasn't seen the field on defense yet. What the hell are you talking about?
Nicholas, Dent and Bartu will be in the mix. Dent played well in Nickel against the Saints, surprisingly.
This is an offensive team - there have been no qualms about that. The gameplan for the past two years has been score a bunch of points and let the secondary make plays. That doesn't change.
Let's not pretend like Weatherspoon was some sort of one man wrecking crew. William Moore is the most important defensive player on this team. Then Babineaux, Spoon and Osi.
Drink that Kool Aid.

We will probably be 1-3 by that time.
I think it's more of a problem that your defense already sucked dick and these injures aren't helping matters.
