Well, they can’t all be winners can they? (I feel that I’ve typed this more than a couple of times over the years)
Newsy Notes:
-Will Hernandez got himself the Covid and was sent home as were two coaches. You know Will, he’s the once promising 2nd round pick of the Giants whose play has gone steadily downhill because everyone on the O-line is struggling like a bugger. Things are so bad that at some point later in the year we’ll be seeing three rookies and a soph on the line ‘protecting’ Jones. Good Lord.
-Dontario Poe is nevermore sayeth Jerry Jones. Despite getting a lion’s share of snaps as an interior d-lineman he had all of one qb pressure so far this year. Not one to call anyone a fatty fat fuck, JJ noted that Poe wasn’t in shape. This despite the fact that his contract had weekly “Don’t Be Fat” incentives that could have dropped a hefty $500,000 into his back pocket by year’s end. Would you give up pizza, wings and beer for 17 weeks so that you could go on a half million dollar hooker, scotch, cocaine and fried food binge afterwards?
TO THE GAME!
FALCONS/PANTHERS-
-McCaffrey is a no go show tonight but rb duties have been covered quite nicely by 6th year wonder Mike Davis who is headed for his best year ever.
-Carolina’s improving D was set back a bit last week in the loss to the Saints but still surrenders a mere 6.3 yards per passing attempt which is the best the league has to offer.
-Your sneaky play on the daily fantasy front is Curtis Samuel-the Falcons don’t defend anything well but their slot cb Isaiah Oliver gives up 9.3 yards per attempt and PFF ranks him 123 out of 126.
-Teddy Ballgame Manager has thrown for 300 only twice this year and of course he did so the last time these teams played. (he got Dan Quinn fired as well, such is his power)
-Here’s hoping Rasul Douglas isn’t ready to roll so that my mancrush Cal Ridley can go bananas on Troy Pride Jr. The Riddler leads the NFL in air yards and end zone targets.
-The Falcons have lost three games this year whilst having a 98% win probability late in the fourth quarter.
-One stat that indicates that Atlanta has an unusually conservative gameplan week in and week out is that they have 100 third down attempts which leads the the NFL. That’s a lot of talent being wasted.
The floor is yours.
Falcons on a winning streak! Of one. That’s still better than the Jets.
Hey, stop saying obviously true things!
Between these two, my money is on the P*ts
Well how bout that.

Folks, this is a bad football game.
/would have killed for it in April.
Sir, this is a game with Failcons ahead in the 4th quarter. Reserve your judgments until after the game.
Noted, as someone with the Panteros and the over.

A bad football game is better than shitty Vodka, but not as good as shitty Bourbon. In the food world, better than shitty potato salad, not as good as shitty pizza
Carolina has ATL right where they want them. Maybe need to spot them another TD before storming back to win.
Overtime Carolina win covers my Car -2 and the over. Let it be so.

Another John James commercial and I’m suddenly reminded of that time Paul Ryan entered a soup kitchen as it was closing so him and his family could fake cleaning it for a photo op.
He’s practicing the best ways to drown Social Security.
At least he tried to pretend to care. Trump or McConnell would just go in and piss or whack off (or both) into the soup.
