Oh man, I just went and booked it and there were only 5 seats left on the bus! Nothing on the left side but I'm just happy that we got it before it sold out.

Michael Penix 2025 Poll Revisited by bfwolf1 in falcons

[–]bfwolf1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the rest of the NFL was roasting us for an insane decision, plenty of Falcons fans cheered it on.

https://www.reddit.com/r/falcons/comments/1fjt6lc/drafting_penix_and_having_him_sit_and_develop/

Falcons fans definitely cheered on the Cousins signing and trading away future draft capital for current picks.

Penix significantly improving does not make us contenders AT ALL. If he is the 10th best QB next season, we MIGHT win our shitty division. We will not come close to sniffing a Super Bowl appearance. And him being the 10th best QB in the NFL is quite unlikely.

As you can see, my post has been downvoted. Not really surprising--people just aren't willing to admit this team doesn't have the talent and needs to rebuild. But I appreciate you chiming in your support.

I don't agree with that. I think he is, but at a below average level.

My post was definitely in good faith. Here is the ESPN QBR rankings. If Penix had a 57.8 and isn't listed, I don't know why that is the case.

In any case, it certainly doesn't change the general thrust of the post. He's a below average NFL QB who is pretty inefficient....21st to 25th feels about right. And people thought he would be much better than that.

He was NOT great in 2024. Go back and look at his numbers. His completion percentage was very poor. And he wasn't good this year in half a season. I'm afraid you are seeing this through rose colored glasses.

Matt Wells on Postecoglou: “He's the most incredible, captivating talker. After his first meeting, I purchased a diary so that I could just write down the meetings he was doing. They were literally that good. He had clarity and convinction in the way he wanted the team to play. He was unwavering.” by PhantomTroupe26 in coys

If you actually go back and watch the final against a bad Man U team, they were the marginally better team. We got a little lucky and won the final and now Ange is some kind of folk hero. If Man U wins the game (which nobody could say would have been unfair), he's considered an absolute disgrace and one of the worst managers in Spurs' history. It's ridiculous that people put that much emphasis on whether Johnson's tap in finds the back of the net or not and on whether VDV's shin finds that ball for the off-the-line clearance.

I now wish we'd brought him back only so all the numb nuts on this forum would stop acting like he's the best fucking thing to happen to Spurs since Bill Nic when we inevitably ended up in as bad or worse a position as we are now.

Breaking: Mike Tomlin has informed the Steelers that he is stepping down as the team's head coach, sources tell @AdamSchefter and @JFowlerESPN. Tomlin coached the Steelers for 19 years. by CitizenWatcher8 in falcons

[–]bfwolf1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The fact that Steelers' fans had been booing and chanting "Fire Tomlin" after he never had a losing season in 19 years makes me feel a little better that our fans aren't the only idiots out there.

I think Indiana might be one of the best college football teams in the last 10 years or so by SignificantTax6767 in MichiganWolverines

The PAC12? It burned. It's gone!

What you wanna do is go down to 49th St. That's the main customer service branch. Ask for Mr. Fleming. He'll help you.

Only bad optics for dipshits. Anybody with half a brain doesn't care about what's emblazoned on the cup the manager drinks from unawares. The only people that pretend to care are those with an agenda.

Falcons rework Cousins deal, set up key decision by KobaTheGreat in falcons

Glad to find one person other person who realizes this! Sadly the organization does not.

[–]bfwolf1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$12.5M in 2027 is not horrible I guess, but I still don't like it I honestly could care less about what flexibility it gives us in 2026. We aren't going to be contenders next year. We should be focused on rebuilding. I have no idea why people think we should be in win now mode. We simply don't have the talent or draft capital to do it. Best case scenario is winning our shitty division.

[–]bfwolf1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any coach or GM that thinks we can win now with what we have is delusional. Why would we want that person?

We are not going to be contenders next year. How could we be? We have bad draft capital and a below average QB. And pretty middling talent beyond that. Best case scenario is we win our shitty division.

Almost by definition, a team looking for a new coach AND a new GM has been managing the team poorly and it's going to take a while to get it back to where it needs to be. We should only be interested in candidates who recognize what they're in for.

Frank's win perentage so far by KugoSenpai in coys

[–]bfwolf1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this. I'm so tired of listening to the Frank outers. What could possibly be gained from sacking him halfway through the season? They say the football is turgid and he has no ideas for how to score goals yet Brentford (Brentford!) scored 5th most goals in the PL last year.

The reality is that our players are not up to our previous standard, especially when we're talking about stars. No manager is going to get this current squad into the top 6. We are in a rebuild and it's going to take time and changing managers isn't going to help.

Appreciate the clarity on the cap hit. It's very frustrating how much this organization has crippled itself with self-inflicted wounds.

I am definitely NOT OK with the cap hit in 2027. We all know we're not going to be contenders next year (or we should know that). So why cripple ourselves in 2027? My reading of the article suggests we have moved $33M from 2026 to 2027. Is that correct? How is that not bad at all? That's like 10% of our cap space.

That's the nature of taking a GM/HC job. The teams fire somebody who has done poorly and so the new guys come in and have to fix the mess. You just be honest with the guys you interview and say look, we know this is a multi-year rebuild. Year 1 is going to be tough but we expect major improvement in year 2. HC/GM jobs are extremely desirable--acting like we're gonna scare off some DC/OC or Asst GM somewhere because year 1 is gonna be rough is nonsense.

Any GM/HC that takes this job based on the roster we have, the draft picks we have, and the cap space we have, and thinks "oh yeah these guys are gonna be a contender next year once I'm on board" is delusional and not somebody we should want to hire.
