One of the worst rules in the sport. Right next to the rule that you can’t review a play if there’s less than 2 seconds left in a half. 

Exactly. Anywhere else on the field a fumble out of bounds goes back to where it was lost. 

You get 3 points for being at home so basically Vegas thinks this is a toss-up, which I tend to agree with. I like our chances of covering, but probably to the tune of something like 24-20.

So I should be impressed that they score 37 against the 49ers? The same 49ers that have given up 0, 46, 37, 24 and 33 points in their games this year?

I should be impressed that they scored 27 against the 49ers? The same Jets that have given up 23, 31, 24, 27 and 31 in their games this year?

Yep, I guess I should really be impressed. What happened against the Dolphins when they scored just 12 points? The same Dolphins that have given up 12, 31, 24, 22, and 30 in their games this year?

What about the Rams? They scored just 3 points. The same Rams that have given up 28, 9, 37, 17 and 30 in their games this year?

Alright. Whatever.

You can make this same argument both ways...

Should I be impressed that we scored 35 against the Raiders? The same Raiders that have given up 34, 35, 10 (Titans), 27, and 31?

You can't just look at their schedule and say "See what they did against this team! They suck!" The NFL is cyclical and the Seahawks have a track record along with getting a fully healthy Wilson back against us, in their house. The defense is no joke, just like Denver's. And honestly, I think their defense matches up better with us than Denver's did.

Exactly. Add in the fact that the Seahawks simply aren't a good team right now and well there ya go. Just don't understand all the thoughts about how the Seahawks are going to easily beat the Falcons this week.

How is the Seahawks offense going to score? That is what I want to know.

Not a good team? I understand being confident in our falcons, but Seattle is very much a good team. Even with a hobbled Wilson, they've put up 37 and 27 in their last 2 games. Coming off a BYE, Wilson should be ready to go. Mobile QBs have been a problem for us in the past (and while we have improved our LBs) and I believe it will be a challenge to contain Wilson. This is very much a winnable game, but let's keep some perspective.

An 80% catch rate is bad?

Looking at it wrong...that's a 20% DROP rate. 

Anyway, I'm not hating on the signing. Fact is, we needed a receiver. Sanu is big and physical. Anyone crying over Benjamin or Jones is forgetting one thing....they weren't available. They signed elsewhere. 

The Chiefs clock management on this drive has been absolutely horrible!

Mike Smith would be proud.

That was the right call...

Exactly...I have no idea what they're complaining about. Boneheaded play

Delete. Thought wrong.

The Saints were fined 500k and 2 2nd round picks for bounty gate. That's severe. This "severe" is probably a large fine. I'm not too worried about it. Hate to lose a draft pick, but rules are rules.

I like the way it is now personally. No sense in having an ongoing game.

Exactly NCAA OT is exhausting to watch. I personally preferred it where a FG would end it. Now people want a TD not to end it? Terrible.

LMAO!

Here is a good take on Dupree

This is possibly one of the most helpful and insightful analyses the I've ever seen. I have been so cold on Dupree but this explanation of what he could be has me exceptionally intrigued.

Ryan Matthews would be awfully interesting...

Agreed. I'm not a fan of FA running backs, but a fresh start pairing him with Freeman and a splash of Tone would make for a pretty solid backfield.

Why am I freaking out? Maybe it has something to do with the fact our General Manager managed to ******* decimate a roster that got to the NFC Championship in 2 years. I wonder who this years Tyson Jackson will be.

That roster was pieced together with vets and was never meant to sustain itself. Did Dimi have a bad (horrible) 2013 offseason? No doubt. Give Quinn and Dimi a chance once FA opens. Gusfraba.

I suppose you love the regular season too, winning 10 games in 2 years is so enjoyable

LMAO. Because I choose not to freak out before FA has even officially begun it means I like losing. Got it.

What a ******* farce. He is a priority Dan Quinn and the Parasite told us and then they aren't prepared to give him a 2 year contract averaging $3 - 4 million a year. I am so ******* done with this team. Continuously letting their fans down. Season after season is just one big disappointment after another.

Meltdown activated. I love the offseason on this forum.

Cobb just got 10M. We need to lock Julio up before it gets really out of hand.

Can't cut him unless we sign him - he's a FA

I'm imagining the TATF meltdown now if he's re-signed. I hate Biermann, but I'd be down for that!

"Even a broken clock can score 3 touchdowns in the first half". LMAO.

Mike Smith did cost us two games this year. Something some of you haven't considered though is that going 5-1 in division play will likely see a correction since the NFCS is the most unpredictable division in the NFL.

Of course, the counter to that would be that our non divisional play will also (almost assuredly) see a correction. Will we be a better COACHED team minus Mike Smith and plus Dan Quinn? Absolutely. Without a doubt. Will we end up with a better record? That remains to be seen. There has been no free agency, no draft, etc.

Point is....this exercise is futile. Especially at this stage of our offseason. Sit back, enjoy the Super Bowl, get ready for Dan Quinn's tenure, and hope for a successful draft and free agency.

shouldnt have done it...people on here whining that he should be able to drink. he brought this on himself. he knew if he drank he could get in trouble. he chose to do it anyways. he put his career in jeopardy.

Exactly...people forget he was coming off a DUI as well as the multiple positive tests for marijuana.

• Bowles felt there was much more pressure in Flowery Branch/Falcons than the other places he interviewed.

Man...I feel like I just said this.

Its New York. Expectations are always high.

A 1st year HC, and Rex Ryan just had 4 disastrous seasons in a row. I think he'll be given time. They won't be calling for his head in year 2 like some would around here.

It is infinitely worse.

Buffalo might not win big because they don't have a QB, but they'll be 8-8 or 9-7 with the best defense in the league.

Have you ever considered that Bowles took the NYJ job because there would be infinitely less pressure to win right away? He's already been handed a pretty good defensive roster and the offense is a disaster. He's going to be given time.

Bowles OR..........

Did the team win or not? Couldn't tell by Mike Smith's post game speech

Now THAT.....was uncomfortable.
