The Season's Effectively Over


Recommended Posts

FALCAN'Ts:

fraudulent frustrating falcon football failures. Fandom frequently fibbed, for falsely fooling foolhardy fans. Fluffy fockers flogged for feighning fluency. Fluctuating fundamentals. Frankly fabricated functionality. Fulcrum frontrunners floundering for football famine. Fuming fans feel furious for football forgery. Facilitating false faith for fans. Fanatic flamers fallen for frailty. Futile flukes.

What more is there to say?

Well... we're currently a Playoff Wild Card, and no matter what happens next week, we'll STILL own a WC spot.

I know, I know... "We don't look like a playoff team..."

Neither did the Giants at this point of the year when they won their Super Bowl. So the season's NOT over...

It may sound doom and gloom but 4 games into the season last year I said we were done after that loss to the Vikes. People said it was stupid to say that so early in the season but I knew what I was seeing.

Had the same feeling today.

Yeah I once thought 10-6 but this looks like a 8-8 team. We'll probably beat the Bucs and Saints but that's it. I don't think we beat Carolina. I don't care how much better Matt is than Cam. Due to the issues with this team(play calling, bad o line play, injuries) having the better QB hasn't been an advantage for us. It's a mess but I do think that we can be a really good team in the future.

Here's the deal. It's really ugly looking now. Putrid.

And the fact we're 6-3 is cold comfort when we're 1-3 in the last 4 games, against bad teams.

The reason the season may not be over is simple. Our D is average. And could get better as rookies progress. That's the best defense we've had in awhile, even though they're still maddening.

Our run offense, while not good today, is better than we've had in years.

So, it comes down to the pass offense is worse. A lot worse. We have a chance to get better and have a real team before the end of the season because there are still ways for this pass offense to get back to life. Either we mix in more of the old plays that everyone knows. Or Ryan gets the hang of the WCO. Or the interior OL gels in pass protection (despite their talent limitations). Or a combo.

Short version: We're ugly. D and run game is better than recent versions, if the passing game gets back on track things will look up.

Good view of things!

See this is where you are incorrect. Matt isn't better than Cam...That ship has sailed...

:lol:

Matt struggles one season in a new scheme that is opposite of everything he is used to, all while still putting up stats mind you, and Cam plays like crap for another year hidden behind a great defense and some strange proverbial ship has sailed crowning Cam better... Gotcha!

Keep giving excuses to a QB that has the best receiver in the league. Who is Cam throwing to? Last i checked Carolina's defense isn't scoring points...
