Game Thread: Week 15 General Thread

[Albuquerque Rams]

Only a few more weeks to go.

 

[Xeliou66]

Should be a strong weekend of games - some huge ones - Bills/Lions, Steelers/Eagles, Packers/Seahawks, Bucs/Chargers, Colts/Broncos all huge.
My Falcons are pretty much in a must win situation against the Raiders - we cannot afford a loss to an awful team like them - the thing is is we’ve really only lost to good teams - our only loss to a weak team is against the Saints, the other losses have all been against teams with winning records who are in the thick of the playoff race. Hopefully we get back on track in Vegas this week, and then finish strong and manage to win the division. I hope the Chargers beat the Bucs, that will help us out.
The 1:00 games on Sunday kind of suck this week - really only Dolphins/Texans is an important one, the rest are just not strong matchups although you never know what will be an interesting game.

Not sure Falcons can beat the Raiders if Cousins can't figure out how to stop throwing to the other team

if Cousins can't figure out how to stop throwing to the other team

To me...Cousins will be known for whipping the system. Betting on himself and coming out of washington the huge winner...now twice.
Everything about Cousins now screams...It all pays the same, So blessed, life is good, maybe next year is our year kinda thing.

again..my fear is Dallas has Cousins Act 2 in Prescott. THE real competitive juices that gets you here seem to fade when true life changing money comes with the territory.

Yeah, a lot of comps out there between Dak and Kirk, it seems. Not sure about the competitive part. Maybe, I guess but it just seems they both lose it mentally at times to me even though they can absolutely be great sometimes. Constantly going to end up in the mediocre territory despite being paid elite money.

Frankly the Falcons should just start Penix at this point. It isn't worth sticking with the inconsistent Cousins to win a weak division at get bounced in the Wild Card round. Better to give Penix some experience right now.

We need to make the playoffs, we haven’t made them since 2017, and Cousins probably gives us a better chance to win the division than Penix at the moment, although I think Penix will be a much better QB overall, but he has no experience now. Even if we lose in the first round of the playoffs, it would still be a good accomplishment to make them and a big step in the right direction for us. So stick with Kirk for now. If we somehow shit the bed Monday in Vegas, then fuck it, start Penix the rest of the way.
While we haven’t played well at all lately, 6 of our 7 losses have come against strong teams, and the Broncos, Chargers and Vikings (our last 3 losses) have top tier defenses so it’s not like we are losing to bad teams. Cousins is definitely turning the ball over way too much, and he cost us the game against the Chargers, but I think we can turn things around and finish strong, and hopefully the Bucs lose one or two and we make the playoffs.
Being a Falcons fan is fucking frustrating, but I do think we are on the right track, this team is much more competitive than last year’s team.

Rooting for the Packers . That would give the Rams the top spot ( because of head to head) over the SeaChickens

[Caliskinsfan]

Big hit if Center, BadAss can’t go for Skins, critical Oline guy for us this year

 

[Caliskinsfan]

7th Kicker being used today as injuries have hit Seibert and Zane so far

Yes, good on Cousins getting his bag of money and Atlanta FO Should be fired for giving him another bag of money when the body of work is he isn't good enough to get you to a SB. They'll ride it out the rest of the season but next year best to start Penix.

Dak was lousy this season and I get the Cousins fear but I'm not ready to put him in that Cousins category just yet.

 

[Black Adam]

Brutal schedule for our next 3. Let's get it overwith...

Go Chiefs...

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Hollywood Brown targeting a Week 16 return against the Texans. Very nice.

 

[Anointed One]

Kenneth Walker is most likely out today for the Hawks game. He did not practice all week. He’s listed as doubtful.

 

[Xeliou66]

Should be an awesome day of games!! Let’s fucking go!!

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Chiefs are gonna start their all pro left guard at LT to try to slow down Myles Garrett, lol.
