2020 NFL Season

From Atlanta's 92.9 "The Game": Falcons will not cut bait with Dan Quinn...yet. The next five games are winnable (giving 3 this week against Carolina), and yes, injuries have been a factor. There was a rumor that Julio Jones was trade bait, but those have since been dispelled.

Carolina 23, Atlanta 16. This time, Atlanta blew an early lead. Anybody got a can of spinach for the Falcons?

[SeaBreeze341]

In Atlanta's defense, Carolina is actually a pretty decent team, but the fact is the Falcons are still 0-5


In better news (albeit rather predictable), Alex Smith saw action for the first time in nearly two years.  Not sure what's next, but when you almost died, and less than 24 months later you got your job back, that is amazing!

My Cardinals snap a 2 game losing streak with a 30-10 win over the Jets as Kyler Murray threw for 380 yards and a touchdown and DeAndre Hopkins went for 131 yards and a touchdown.

The Steelers are 4-0 for the 1st time since 1979. I'm legitimately surprised Big Ben hadn't been 4-0 before.

And how bout those Raiders! Derek Carr finally beats the Chiefs. Bet Patrick Mahomes wishes it could be September forevermore.

Tony Rodriguez on the OT (Fox postgame) says if Arthur Blank doesn't fire Dan Quinn now, he won't the rest of the season. Houston already sent Bill O'Brien out the door and then they beat Jacksonville.

Per the Athletic, it's all but done.  It likely will be announced on Monday, maybe tonight

Thursday's Kansas City-Buffalo game has been moved to Monday afternoon October 19 at 4:30 PM ET.

Very easy to break a losing streak playing the Jets (unfortunately for me, my team).

A slew of schedule changes are coming to several weeks including next week because of the Broncos-Patriots game being moved to next week: https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-announces-multiple-schedule-changes-moves-broncos-patriots-to-week-6

The Seahawks better clean up those uniforms. It looks like somebody puked on them.

While the Los Angles Lakers in basketball have won the 2020 NBA Championship, the Atlanta Falcons have given coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff their walking papers after an 0-5 start.

I actually like those neon uniforms.  It might be one too many steps away from their regular uniforms, but it stands out.  Maybe too much, but I'll take those over the Browns uniforms anyday!

Now watch the Falcons beat Minnesota this Sunday.

Falcons defensive coordinator Raheem Morris has been named interim head coach.

First, it was Russell with his late game heroics against Minnesota.  Then it was Brees with his late game heroics against the Chargers (back to back primetime games).  Speaking of the Vikings and Falcons playing each other, looks like Los Angeles may have taken the "magic" from Minnesota of saying "No thank you" to massive leads.

Atlanta never really recovered from that Super Bowl loss nearly 4 years ago (they did make the postseason the following season, winning a playoff game); meanwhile there's promise for the Vikings & the Chargers.  Both are better than their record, especially LA.  Really, they both aren't good, but not as bad as their record indicates

The Chargers could easily be 3-2. They literally dropped a game winning touchdown pass that would've been the Panthers and missed a game winning field goal that would've beaten the Saints. The Chargers are LITERALLY 2 plays away from being 3-2.

Tonight the Titans played surprisingly well for a team that hasn't been able to practice and improved to 4-0 with a 42-16 win over the Bills.
