Remember that next time the awkward question comes up about why Atlanta isn't a sports town and why there are no butts in the seats.

Why are you a fan?

Wipe my ass with your faith. This franchise has work to do to earn my support. They aren't entitled to it just because I live here and happen to like football.

But when this is supposed to be an escape from all the ****ty larger issues and disappointments we have to deal with and it just turns out to be more ****ty disappointments, what good is it?

It's hard to tell we even played today based on nfl.com

I think what he wants above all else is the kind of power Belichick and Quinn have.

This is only his 2nd successful season as a coordinator and he thinks he's HC material now?

Keep in mind the playoffs are a different world and they're being lead by Koetter and Smitty as well as a super young QB with no experience. Remember when they took us to the playoffs?

The current unis are fine, I'd rather go back to the 90s uni or stick with what we have. Look at what the Bucs and Jags are stuck with now, and Seattle got lucky with their refresh. Odds are we would get a ridiculous looking CFB or color rush style costume.

Watching Seattle try to run their defense while their best players were out was interesting. It's absolutely dependent on good cover safeties +LBs and consistent pressure across the entire DL.

When's the last time another team did that?

It needs to be our primary.

Meh. It's not like the secondary could do much worse even without him.

Cards haven't made us or Ryan look bad since 2014.

Because there's nothing else to talk about

With Coleman back, couldn't we use a game plan similar to what we used to beat Denver?

I think he was the highest paid in the league at the time.

Agreed, I don't think we'll hear anyone complaining about whatever deal he gets this time.

What do you expect to happen when we sit down to negotiate presumably in 2018? Will he set a new benchmark for franchise QBs or work out a team friendly deal to work the cap? Ideally we get a deal done BEFORE he wins an MVP or Superbowl for us. Regardless, I think he has all the leverage and it's a matter of how flexible he wants to be. We also have to get ready to pay Trufant, Beasley, and Jake Matthews around the same time.

We had the toughest schedule in the league this year and came out of the first half of the season with a winning record, winning most of the games we should have won (3/4 in the division so far) and beating 2 really good teams on the road and almost beating another in a place that's almost impossible to win in (Seattle)

That probably is the reality of our situation but I'm still optimistic about the trajectory we're on regardless of how far we go this season.

What is it with you and drinking piss

This is why I don't care about NFL history. Because we've always sucked.

This is even funnier because it wasn't long ago that Taints fans were calling Ryan noodle arm and checkdown charlie or whatever.

Imagine how he'll look with either: More help from the interior, or better corners to force QBs to hold the ball a little longer.
