What's the line on tonight's game? Looking for some betting action.

Maybe some props? Over/under on Matt Ryan passing attempts?

It is incomprehensible to me how football season feels like it lasts for 5 weeks, while February-July feels like purgatory.


Can't wait for October. Great weather, MLB Postseason games, great college football matchups, and the NFL to wash it all down every Sunday.

October is the lord's month for a sports fan. We're lucky as Atlantan's to look forward to:

(1) Dirty Bird Football
(2) Conference SEC games
(3) October Braves Baseball
(4) Hawks & Trae Young show get going
(5) United Playoffs

Every day, a holiday - every meal a banquet.

Falcons/Vikings can't get here fast enough. That should be a hell of an opener.

Benkert > Schaub.

It wasn’t even close today. Moreover, Schaub’s balls had zero zip on them.

Agreed, Schaub looks done. He’s also way too expensive for a backup.

Apparently, he’s the favorite backup of Matt Ryan, so that has some pull.

Then make him a coach. High schoolers have more zip on the ball than him right now.

Schaub throws weak siideadm balls. I wouldn’t be sad if we went out and got another bench QB.

I am not disagreeing you with at all, but I can't blame Schaub for cashing those paychecks.

Also, what a fricking Falcons way to lose last night. I know the game doesn't matter, but losing on 4th and 14 on a tipped ball and their previous TD was called back due to a penalty.

Let's just get all the bad stuff out of the way now. Agreed, though it doesn't matter... dude, don't go for the pick - punch that ball out of bounds and get the win.

Positives:
- John Cominsky is a FREAK. TD always gets a steal in a draft in the later rounds - Grady, Freeman, Campbell, and it looks like JC is that dude. Relentless.

- We might actually have DB depth. Sheffield and Miller looked really, really good.

- Jermaine Grace. LB depth is important, and this guy was making both the right reads and making sure tackles.

-Kurt MF Benkert. That guy has an NFL arm. Plain and simple. I really hope he steps up and grabs this job from Schaub, because he was quite literally, sailing balls last night.

Negatives

- We still don't have a kick returner

- Penalties galore. A lot of them were absolutely garbage (especially Brian Hill run, dude RELAX refs), but a lot were simple mental errors

- Matt Schaub. I used to think he could be the stable acre if (lord save us) Ice went out. But I legit think every ball thrown outside the hashes would have been returned for a pick-six against NFL starters last night.

Looking forward to seeing some starters through the next 3 weeks. Moreover, really looking forward to seeing us in Minnesota, week 1.

just watched the video clip of Cominsky's sack. Can we please get him to teach Vic that simple spin move he used?

Just realized that they had to do a complete turnover from the lower capacity soccer match to full capacity football game in less than 24 hours. What a facility we have down there, folks.
