Schefter reporting he was out 6-8 weeks last time he had the procedure. Not a huge blow, but he's missing a ton of valuable time (assuming the recovery period is the same).

As a Clemson fan, I've always been shocked he didn't blow up in the NFL. He was a stud at Clemson. My guess is when he came in to New Orleans and was asked to be the guy and leader of the defense right off the bat, he just wasn't ready for it and never really adjusted. I never thought he was a MLB, but I thought he could succeed at any of the positions due to how much of a freak he is. Seems to have been down hill from that point, even after moving to OLB and moving on to Miami. I think a fresh start like this will be good for him, but it is surprising to see how little production he's had since he came into the league.

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. You're going into the final couple weeks of the season and a huge wave of key players for teams fighting for a playoff spot won't be able to play. Awful idea for a league where every game is vital.

So, which game can I come over for? I make a mean 7-layer dip. Awesome set up. That silver on white helmet is awesome. Wouldn't want to see it in a game, but it's a pretty awesome decorative piece.

LOL at the Saints fanbase getting lawyers involved on the outcome of the game. Imagine living a life where the Saints are all you had going for you. Trash fanbase gonna trash fanbase.

He turned it down. I know the conspiracy theory is out that everyone in America hates every Falcons player ever, but there's no reality where Prescott or Trubisky get in over Matt. Trubisky and Prescott aren't even that good, but I can at least see Dak being an alternative. Just not over Matt. Trubisky shouldn't be anywhere near the Pro Bowl.

Yikes. Grady and them better get something up the middle because right now it looks like ya boy Brees is gonna have some time to toss it around.

That makes zero sense. It's handled the same way across the board in the NFL. The differences in how coaches handle players is minuscule. If anything, blame the low amount of practice time the players and coaches get. They're out there less and they're not playing as much in the pre-season. Not playing in the pre-season is fine, but you can at least offset that with a number of hours they're putting in practice. Hard to do that when you're that limited. How you think this is on anyone on the coaching staff is beyond me. It's happened a lot over the last few seasons.

THANK you. I was waiting for someone to show this tweet. That's a stark contrast, and people need to realize Neal's impact. Is Kazee going to be a baller? No doubt. He's going to get some awesome experience and be a big part of the defense. But you don't replace what Neal brought to that run defense and intensity he brought on the field. Kazee isn't that type of player yet. This loss hurts.

While you do have to take Philly's elite defense into consideration, I put a lot of this on Sark. You can't be as unbalanced as Atlanta was last night. Kudos to Philly for shutting down those stretch plays. They knew it was coming and was prepared. Even so, the lack of run game put a lot on Ryan. Freeman, while he was banged up at the end, had a good average. The running game wasn't being completely shut down. Sark needs to figure that out moving forward. Stretching to that edge is something that can be improved. The offensive line is good enough. What I can't forgive on Sark's end is the ending. Kurt Warner nailed it on Twitter. Philly was running the same zone defense every time. A simple seven across. It blows my mind that Sark and Ryan didn't attack that. Why didn't Atlanta overload the zone at a certain spot? You ran the same routes forcing the same passes. No creativity. And LOL at Ryan throwing the ball away on fourth-and-goal. He was lucky to get the illegal contact penalty. Even if you're going to just chuck it up to SOMEONE, why would you just throw it away in a do-or-die scenario? Unbelievable. Matt's arm also does not look as sharp as it has in the past. A lot of people are talking about it, and I tend to agree. He's never had a Stafford arm, but his passes don't look as sharp or crisp as they have in the past. I don't put the game on him, especially having to pass it 45 times against that defense, but there are times where I wish he would just tell Sark to eat crap and let him take control.

This is incredible. Just donated $10.23.
