Nfl.com's Winners And Losers Week 2 Preseason

Declaring winners and losers during preseason seems weird but the folks at NFL.com decided to do it. Guess which side our Falcons landed on?

This one is funny:

Winners

Titans quarterbacks: Marcus Mariota has looked as advertised in the preseason, looking very calm in the pocket. He's accurate and looks like a workmanlike veteran, not unlike Teddy Bridgewater at the end of last season.

I guess they missed game 1...

Losers

Roddy White: We were worried about White's production falling off a cliff this year even before his recent elbow surgery. The Falcons should have some level of concern about their receiver depth.

uh oh...

Oh NOOOOOOO! What are we going to do with just Julio, Hankerson, Hester, Hardy, and Weems?!?!

Our 5 WR's without Roddy is still better than the top 5 WR's on the majority of NFL teams. And I'm not sure how GB is not listed as one of the biggest losers after their top WR went down for the entire season while Roddy is there with an elbow drain.

I guess it has to do with their outstanding depth at WR, which the writer mentions, though I don't think they have anywhere near as good as us even without Roddy since they don't have Nelson. They have a good scheme, so they'll be productive, but their WR depth is not great by any means.

Mariota CANNOT be considered a winner at this point. His game against us was a borderline disaster. Sure, he managed a nice TD drive against our backups... but he got owned by the first team.

If he had a nice game against the Rams (which I didn't watch), then you could call it a wash at this point.
