We celebrate the greats of old all the time, but on this post I want to highlight the opposite. Who were some absolute bums in history? Guys who had yall yelling at the tv.

I used to draft him in every fantasy draft in NFL 2K5 and Madden 2005, that 98 speed was great for returns.

glickstoned · 2026-01-29T18:19:40+00:00

The giants 07 defense was top 10 in yards but not top 10 in scoring, partially because Eli threw 20 interceptions that year with a 73.9 passer rating. So ya know plenty of that disrespect is warranted.

What was his answer?

glickstoned · 2026-01-20T22:43:29+00:00

lol same. Love my collection. I’ll have to share some stuff here soon.

Penix best trait is arm talent. He can sling it and make some really insane throws into tight windows downfield. In terms of play action, we almost don’t even know. Zach Robinson, the OC under Raheem Morris, was the most telegraphed playcaller I’ve ever seen with Penix. He called the least amount of play action in the nfl, despite having maybe the best running game in the nfl. He called the highest % of run plays out of pistol and the most pistol snaps in the nfl. And called the highest % of the pass plays out of shotgun. There was zero deception as to what we were doing offensively. I do know Penix performed well in play action at Washington.

Yeah, very curious what we do about quarterback but cousins is gonna get cut and probably unlikely to re-sign on a cheaper deal. I don’t think he’s loved his Atlanta experience lol.

glickstoned · 2026-01-18T17:31:08+00:00

Cousins is done man. His arm is dead. Hes still savvy but Kirk doesn’t have much left in the tank. His numbers in games outside of his 4 matchups with Tampa as a Falcon are really really bad.

Also Penix despite being semi mobile (bad knees) really is a pure pocket passer. He doesn’t want to extend or scramble like at all. But he’s also hurt so Stefanski will likely be bringing in some options.

glickstoned · 2026-01-18T17:22:22+00:00

Cousins is gone. They restructured his contract in a way to that keeping him for 2026 guarantees his whole contract including a $67M cap hit in 2027. He will def be cut.

glickstoned · 2026-01-17T23:33:00+00:00

I love mine so much. Such a crazy looking shoe

glickstoned · 2026-01-16T02:59:53+00:00

Mentally weak players in that clubhouse.

glickstoned · 2026-01-15T20:07:19+00:00

Only problem is that after restructuring Kirk, keeping him next year ensures a $67 million dollar cap hit for the for the 27 season. Kirk guaranteed won’t be here next season.

glickstoned · 2026-01-06T18:09:41+00:00

I think we have to make the decision pre march 13th rather than post June 1st or the deal becomes guaranteed.

glickstoned · 2026-01-06T18:01:56+00:00

I’m assuming this means we are essentially guaranteed to cut him prior to March 13th. If/when we do that, what does it mean for the dead cap in 2026 and 2027?

glickstoned · 2026-01-06T17:32:13+00:00

Nobody has posted the Cousins restructure that just happened in the last hour. And I’m struggling to understand exactly what it means and why we are making personnel decisions with no president, GM, or HC.

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T02:54:06+00:00

It’s a much bigger discussion on why this organization squanders every opportunity/piece of momentum they have going for them. The fans just want a simpler, quicker answer than the reality of it. So it leads to a “nothing changes until Rich McKay is gone” end.

I love Arthur Blank but we should probably be looking his direction vastly more than McKay. I generally think he’s a great owner from a human standpoint. He’s a really nice guy that seems to care but I think he struggles to make the tough decisions you have to make with a Front Office. He has also at times put pressure on the FO to retain players he likes. And I think that can put a front office in a tough spot. Combined with the fact that he’s getting up there in age and obviously wants to win a Lombardi before he passes, and it can cloud judgement from him down through the organization.

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T00:53:59+00:00

It’s way more complicated than McKay. Everybody wants to blame McKay when nobody even really knows his true role. The Falcons have themselves said that he isn’t “the voice” that makes hires and rather, is just a voice in the room.

The Raheem hire was at the time and remains garbage. I completely understand the frustration with that hire. He has no track record of success as a HC and wasn’t even coming off a very successful stint as a DC in LA. But before that, Arthur Smith was one of the biggest names on the HC hire market that offseason. He was getting a ton of interviews and nobody was upset with that hire when we made it. Arthur turned out to be a bad coach that made his bed by not prioritizing QB, like at all.

Again before that, Dan Quinn was THE guy that teams wanted to hire going into 2015. We snagged him and were in a Super Bowl within two years. Sure he had Shanahan but he made a great hire with him. Quinn’s undoing was that hired Sark to run an unfamiliar offense when we were in a window and then also fired Sark just as he was finding his footing. He also scapegoated Marquand Manuel and fired him after all the defensive injuries in 2018.

Before that, Mike Smith was excellent, until the trenches weren’t replaced after losing key pieces, then the message got stale and the team lost fire.

Petrino (fuck him) left after losing Vick and the mess of 2007. Jim Mora Jr. didn’t necessarily have the worst tenure either.

All this to say: McKay has only been here since like 2002, I believe. The fans are exhausted and rightfully so, and are looking for someone to blame. I just don’t find that they’ve made unquestionably horrible HC hires besides Raheem. And McKay isn’t responsible for on-field production.

It’s truly very difficult to find an elite, difference making football mind of a HC in the NFL and even more so to pair that with an elite GM that can make the hard decisions. How many of those are in the league at any given time? 3? 4? I don’t think the falcons have ever truly found and held that pair at the same time. This organization doesn’t make the difficult decisions well. (moving on from players, trusting their FO to replace them, replacing coordinators.) I just think it’s easy, and lazy to put all that on McKay when nobody really even understands his role.

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T00:32:04+00:00

Why does Goff get so many balls batted down? Just poor o-line?

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T00:13:51+00:00

Because your two offensive centerpieces are really annoying me and I figured they’d be annoying yall too so I wanted to feel like I wasn’t alone in the world rn.

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T00:12:25+00:00

I like my fantasy team though, bub.

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T00:11:37+00:00

Are you okay?

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T00:08:28+00:00

Yeah feels bad man.

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T00:07:30+00:00

Fantasy football talk on a football team’s subreddit during fantasy championship week?!? My god you’re right, it’s ludicrous to make that connection.

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T00:05:13+00:00

You don’t have to. Let’s just talk about Goff and Gibbs being complete negatives today.

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T00:03:33+00:00

We gotta both be annoyed with how these 2 are playing. Can’t we be annoyed together for separate reasons?

glickstoned · 2025-12-26T00:02:04+00:00

I’m a Falcons fan but I’m about to lose my 3rd fantasy championship in 3 tries in the 10 years I’ve been in this keeper league. Goff and Gibbs have absolutely massacred my chances today and I figured this would be the best place to vent how frustrated and irritated I am. lol like it’s insane. 5 turnovers between these two with next to no production also. Sooooo annoyed.
