stizz 5,666 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 All the teams we need to win to boost our draft spot are ahead. No one is catching NYJ and JAX, but we have a good shot at selecting 3rd. No one wants to hear it, but it's time we get honest about this season. We are essentially eliminated. We were screwed the minute Blank chose to not make ANY coaching changes after a 7-9 season that started 1-7. We need our next regime to have wiggle room and I'd rather pick 3rd than have the 12th pick or something and have a hotshot GM come in and make a huge trade to move up to get a QB. Coaching absolutely matters more than draft position and you better believe the next guy coming in would rather choose sooner than later. We also have an owner who has shown he can be swayed by fluke wins. Let's usher in this new era together and not be at each other's throats about what a "real fan" is because we want what's best for the team long term.

Lornoth 12,233 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Just let people decide how they want to enjoy the season. If it's rooting for a win or a loss, does it matter? The team's not tanking (on purpose) either way. FalconofShadows, Tim Mazetti, Falcons_Frenzy and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dapanch420 570 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Nah it was trevor or bust. But that ship has sailed. We are stuck with ryan unless benkert gets the best out of his talent. But for now we got to find an offensive minded head coach that can get the best out of this good/ great offense. Defense has a way to go before theyre good, but offense is in win now mode. Edited November 22, 2020 by dapanch420 408Falcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doubt anyone wants to lose to the saints, but it's time to overrate and overestimate this trash and just set it on 🔥. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
