Spoon has a ruptured Achilles

Had to record the game on my DVR. Ignored my phone all day until I got home late last night to watch it..... Shit wasnt easy.

I figured we would put up a fight but I didnt expect the Falcons to come out and play like that. Defense was good for 3 qtrs. Dan Quinn started playing soft too early IMO. Might as well have kept being aggressive if you just gonna give up TDs anyway. Defense not good enough to sit back and try to clamp down in the redzone. Never liked when defenses play prevent.

Offense was unstoppable. I bet the Panthers wont man up on Jones the next time we play.

Hope Campbell is back this week with Spoon being out. Kinda feel bad for Spoon..... Gettin thin at LB too.

At this point as long as the defense can get turnovers I'm cool with them giving up points

34-10 in the 4th quarter and 7 of those came from a Matty Ice pick six off of tipped pass. So the defense gave up 3 points in 3 quarters. Those 24 points in one quarter was a result of play calling prevent defense. Those were truely garbage time points. Once they got close, Cam got knocked on his ass and the backup threw a pick 6. I was actually impressed by the defense. We got pressure from the D-line and with the exception of Alford, the secondary wasn't allowing shit.

I could watch this all day...

We got AJ Hawk now that Spoon is out for the season. Hopefully Campbell isn't gone too long and go back to starting. But as of now Scho and Hawk gotta hold this LB Core down until the rookie is healthy again.

He's washed but it's depth until Campbell gets back

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

Dam, anybody got word on who's starting at Will until Campbell is back?

Dam, that's the most important position on our Defense.

I looked at the final 53. Quinn didn't pick up another rb so I guess we'll just see Coleman in the Redzone. Free is going to carry the load.

Will: Reynolds/Ishmael

Mike: Jones/Hawk/Reed

Sam: Beasely/Wheeler/Reed

Don't need Scho bro.

I see the Falcons cut Scho. Somewhat surprising to me. Id keep anybody that offer some pass rush ability right now.

He doesn't offer any pass-rush ability though. I mean, that's what he's supposed to do but he doesn't. Really a waste of space, doing the dirty bird on the bench. We gotta pass rush on Cam without him. We need better run defense. That's Hawk's forte.

Any predictions for the game Sunday?

This is a game I picked as a Big L before the season. Now im thinking the game may be close, with a chance we can pull it off if the defense show up. I believe we can score a few TD's on Denver but the problem is we probably gonna give up 3-4 scores. Im thinking maybe a 24-17 Broncos win.

Im wondering how long the offense gonna be able to keep it up.

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

Their offense doesn't scare me mane. Our cover 3 defense is built to prevent Emmanuel Sanders from having explosive plays. Thomas is lining up against Tru. I'll take that matchup any day. This game is going to boil down to whoever establishes the running game first because their extra regular ass QB can't beat us without it.

That defense of theirs.....smh brutal.

That worries me but those double TE sets can slow down, not stop, but slow down their pass rush. Chedda Bob (Talib) will play one on one with #11. I like that matchup 4 us. The only cb that has ever shut Julio down was Norman. Matt will catch him slipping. We need Free to EAT though.

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

If Collins and/or Cj Goodwin show their worth, Alford is gone next year. We'll get an additional 2nd round pick because of that too. Collins will take the outside and Poole stays at nickle. Tru slapped with the 5th year option.

That leaves the entire secondary on rookie contracts(all 5 of em). LB core is set(2 rookies & 1 vet under 30). Quinn made sure of that this offseason. More money for the D-Line, which is the only weakness right now on both sides of the ball.

I like Poole. I thought that was a good pickup when we brung him in, I figured he would make the team but didnt think he would be starting and playing pretty well. Hes physical too, not afraid to hit somebody.

Game probably will come down too who can run the ball. Denvers one weakness on Defense is playing the run. If we beat Denver Im not doubting these boys the rest of the year.

Scapegoats

Somebody should've slap the shit out of their coach. Rookies in single coverage against Julio. Nigga would've been fired at halftime fucking with me.
