My dad is going to the Falcons/Seahawks game on Saturday.

I'm so damn jealous. :(

I went to the Falcons/Seahawks playoff game back in 2013.

Still one of my favorite live experiences of all time.

My other favorite was going to the Falcons/49ers playoff game in 1999. First ever playoff game played at the Dome!

I can't wait for the sad pictures to emerge of Johnny Manziel sitting at a table with no one around to pay him for his autograph.

If I could make it to Houston, I would take it myself. Just the saddest shit imaginable. Maybe recreate the "sound of silence" Afflek video.

Jake Ruddock is going to be a great Backup QB going forward.

Started and played under Jim Harbaugh in his first season at Michigan. In the NFL he has been learning the ropes of the NFL under Jim Bob Cooter and Matthew Stafford. That's a hell of a resume of teachers to learn the QB position from.

He's probably already better than any QB in Texans history.

Lions QB Jake Rudock makes strides during rookie year

ALLEN PARK -- Jake Rudock didn't play a down for the Detroit Lions this season. But that didn't stop the rookie quarterback from showing up to the practice facility before sunrise anyway, poring over film for games he knew he would never play in.

"It was six-something most days," Rudock said. "They get here early, so I get here early."

They, of course, were Matthew Stafford and Dan Orlovsky. Two quarterbacks with 20 years of experience between them. And while Rudock didn't play a down in 2016, he says he's a whole lot better quarterback after soaking up all he could from them over the last year.

He actually outpeformed Orlovsky (while facing mostly third-teamers), completing 58.8 percent of his passes for 333 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.

But the Lions opted to roll with Orlvosky as the backup to Stafford anyway, valuing his experience and how it would help prep Stafford for games. After 12 years in the league, he knows defensive tendencies, and sees things on film that Rudock doesn't.

Rudock also had a chance to work on his body. He looks noticeably bigger -- "Thanks bro," he says -- after adding 5 or 6 pounds in the Lions' strength program, and that could help his arm strength.

"For me, it was a great season," Rudock said. "I learned a lot. It's a long season, and I definitely, definitely improved."

So 2 devices to play one game?

Not a one stop solution.

Get out of the dark ages and use the one platform and the one console that can be played anywhere, anytime and of course comes with full JoyConBoyz support.

You don't need to settle anymore. Ok maybe some of you need to settle in your choice of woman or mate and maybe in your job and probably in most things, but you don't have to settle for inferior videogames.

I have the freedom to play my games on multiple devices and you want me to give up that freedom and restrict myself to just one?

I guess it makes sense, seeing as 2017 is the year of both Trump and Switch.

All of Harbaugh's QBs at Michigan have been trash.

Not Ruddock in Harbaugh first season. Stat comparisons to Tom Brady another great University of Michigan QB:

Tom Brady: 11 Games, 180/295, 61%, 2217 Yards, 16 TDs, 6 INTs

Both taken in the 6th round.

Now obviously I'm not saying he's the next Brady but he's a Pro Style QB who learned the game of Football from guys like Jim Harbaugh, Jim Bob Cooter, Matthew Stafford. And that counts for a lot.

Brady sucked in college. There's a reason he was a sixth round pick.

Remember when you needed a cell phone AND laptop once upon a time?

iPhone changed the game and now it is the most used the device. All in one.

The Switch is like that but way better.

You can stay in the ghetto if you want but we JoyCons not about that life.

His stat line from his Senior season isn't that bad. He didn't light the word on fire but it's pretty good for a Pro Style QB

"Isn't that bad" is bad in college. Most teams put their best talent on offense and the rules help offenses even more than they do in the pros.

Wow, kinda surprised Musgrave got the boot. At least with Downing being promoted Carr isn't gonna be starting from scratch in a whole new system.

Also surprised KNJ is safe.

Hope Tice is retained. Losing him would be tough.

Trump is pro Brady and vehemently anti-Switch because it represents freedom and all the things he opposes. A vote for Switch is a vote against the Pats and Trump.

And I did not want to say this because I did not want to hurt your feelings but when Donald Jr is not hacking the world on his iPad he is a confirmed Boner...

Former Steelers linebacker and 2016 Hall of Fame class member Kevin Greene wants to stand on the sideline with head coach Mike Tomlin. Greene was all over Twitter Monday, retweeting others who suggested he join the team as its outside linebackers coach. Greene coached outside linebackers from 2009 to 2013 with the Green Bay Packers.

"If My Steelers need me, I'm there," Greene tweeted Monday night. "I hope they know that."
