Because the raiders defense is terrible if you ask me

& Max wont be playing

 

[Shanemansj13]

Well i don't need to ask you, they aren't good, BUT, the point being... they just shut down an offense with more talent, and a better QB, and a better coach, and a better system, than what Squishy Mac is/has..

Just might be foolish to assume squishy Mac has a great matchup, when the most recent example they put out there shut down a superior offense to that of the Mac led Jags

I'm not sure what other way to say the same thing again

Squishy Mac. We all need to use this from now on

& Max wont be playing

And he wasn't when they embarrassed Cousins

 

[averagejoe]

I get the argument, but matchups vary from week to week. The Raiders shutting down the Falcons may just mean they pushed in all their chips defensively. Could be a fluke. Now they have nothing for the next opponent.

Happens all the time in the NFL. Cleveland beat the Ravens and Steelers. Doesnt mean the Browns would carry that to the next game.

Looking like the "cousins will get cut and Falcons will eat the cap implications" folks were right

Did the guy on the radio say Stroud was crying because of Tank's injury, or Tank was crying?

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Stroud was crying

Nothing wrong with crying, but seems like these new QBs are emotional little guys on the inside

Well..Tank is EFFED, like Bradley Chubb effed...that was REALLY bad. I got no issues with any teammate shedding a tear on that one. That ain't Caleb crying to mommy

Now justice hill took an off balance hit and landed on his head. Judging by way his body went limp after his head made contact with the ground, not good

Up and walking, good news. I'll bet he's feeling it though

Kirk Cousins' divorce from the Falcons is expected to be finalized before his $10 million roster bonus is due March 17, with executives across the league fully expecting Atlanta to have to release him by then. The split between Cousins and the Falcons is inevitable at this point, according to multiple sources. Front office executives observing the situation have pointed out that, due to the no-trade clause in Cousins' contract, he now has all the leverage -- and nobody believes he will be doing any favors for a Falcons team that surprised him on draft night by selecting another quarterback -- Michael Penix Jr. -- in the first round, then benching him this week in favor of the rookie.

So, does anyone know how this plays out money-wise for Cousins?

Even if he loses the bonus, I imagine he's got a ton of guaranteed cheese coming in, right?

He's getting his 90m or whatever that was guaranteed. It's just a matter of how they can divide the hit up. Arthur Blank is cutting him checks totaling 90m one way or the other

Thought I read that Cousins has language that locks ATL in for 28mil next year if they cut him, essentially letting him go where he chooses and is able to take a low salary with new team to fit under cap.

Yet another smart negotiating move for Cousins team, get that agent in the HOF already

 

[averagejoe]

Wouldnt it be hilarious... if Penix struggles (he is a rookie after all with zero NFL experience) and the Falcons will need Cousins to help win a few games for a playoff birth.

And because of all of this "Falcons-to-cut-Cousins" news, he somehow turns on the Falcons since he was gonna get his $90 mill win or lose, starter or free agent.

If he’s anything but stellar if he gets his chance he’ll be a temp vet for the Raiders or somebody

Oh I'm sure he'll find himself in 2024 Russell Wilson's shoes. Someone will sign him for a veteran minimum or whatever, and if his performance is more related to the injury, than just losing his 'mojo', that team will be getting one helluva bargain...go Raiders

I really don't think he needs that anymore, except for personal pride. Old, immobile QBs aren't exactly on the A list these days.

That said, as @Bandit has said before, the dude is the greatest QB financial wizard the world has ever seen.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Good luck to all my SportsHoopla opponents this weekend, although i hope none of you win

Old School - @Bandit
KOTF - @tlance
Bandit dynasty - nope, fuck that guy, hope i put him down like a lame horse today

 

[Chef99]

Wow. Gotta feel bad for the guy, just one tough break after another.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Tank Dell (knee) tore his ACL and dislocated his knee.


Obviously, he will not be playing again this year. The question at this point is 2025. Dell isn’t a sure bet to return given how serious the injury looked, and if he does return, like this year, he probably shouldn’t be trusted as fully healthy. It’s a devastating injury for the Texans purposes, one that probably ends with them having to find a new WR2 behind Nico Collins with Stefon Diggs also slated for free agency off his own ACL tear.
