Banana Bandit Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) 49 minutes ago, Lethal said: How is this "strangely accurate" lmao 1 is wrong 2 is yet to be seen 3 is also yet to be seen Not sure what is worse, this article or OP buying into it... 1. By all reports, Ridder was competitive in training camp and preseason. There's a difference between not getting the starting gig and not being competitive. Mariota did claim the starting job. 2. Being eliminated from playoff contention by week 16/17 is plausible depending on how the Buccaneers play, A lot of people have speculated this season that Ridder will get his chance to play after the bye, thus the 3 games prediction is yet to be seen, but is plausible at this point in the season. At the very least it's captured how a lot of people feel during week 13 of the 2022 NFL season before the season even started. 3. The Falcons HAVE played themselves out of contention for a "top tier" Quarterback in the 2023 draft. Projecting 5-6 wins with this roster all the way back in May when most other publications had us sitting around 2-3 wins was so far an accurate prediction. This article has nearly predicted how our season has played out. If Ridder starts after the Bye and if the Falcons drop 2 in the next three weeks with the Bucs winning 2, then it would have just about predicted our season to a T.

How is any of this "strangely accurate"? Unless your grasp on reality is so piss poor you are amazed by things that aren't true? Mariota was named starter nearly instantaneously and the other two haven't happened. What exactly is strangely accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find me another article or predictions thread that has captured the current zeitgeist around the Falcons at this current point in time 28 weeks before it's happened. I'll wait.

Both very possible and way more accurate than a predictions article that’s either wrong or hasn’t even happened to warrant anyone claiming them to be accurate lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are a lot of extra words to say I don’t want to because who tf cares besides you? 🤣 Just saw your edit. Figures you’d duck out. I’m glad you admit the article you swear by is pointless. I’m sure it would be SUPER HARD to find preseason articles with incorrect predictions 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridder was soundly beaten by Mariota but your desire to see Ridder as the future QB has clouded your perception. The coaches know who deserves to start on Sunday. Drake London barely played in the preseason, if you soely look at pre-season performance you would assume Bernhardt was the #1 option. Ridder is learning the NFL game and improving his mechanics. He is a project that is why he was drafted in the 3rd round. mariota didnt beat out ridder. mariota was gonna be the starting QB day 1 that was obvious. no way you bring him in to be the backup to ridder what would be the point in wasting money on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomak Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Ridder should had been the starter from day one. Banana Bandit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mariota gives us the best chance to lose. If we dont bench him soon i am suing the falcons for concussions due to severe facepalms.

Good/bad/indifferent I believe the expectation was for Mariota to start week 1 all along. However, see Steelers and Trubisky. Same exact scenario. When the vet simply wasn’t holding up his end of the bargain the coach started the rookie. The vet was 1-3 as a starter which was deemed unacceptable even for a team in rebuild. Their rookie is 3-4 as a starter. Chitown2ATL_Falcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
