this is the first year in 12 that I am not going; first time in awhile that there was nothing on the line

take MARTA- traffic really isn't that bad, but I don't like wading thru the bandwagon, no-nothing Atl fans who tailgate (and don't actually go in)

Drew has quietly gone 11 tds and 1 int in December. Good chance he does light up the dirty turds.

Seriously, why do people think drafting 4th or 5th instead of 10th or 11th is going to make the team a contender? You play to win. That's it. Again, the second I see our team purposely and blatently lose games, I'm done watching.

But yes let's kill the Clowns.

Since we screwed up our draft order we might as well win this game.

If it came down to crushing the clowns or losing and getting the 1st pick in the 1st round of the draft, I'd choose to crush the clowns and pick second in the draft!!!

I doubt we move into next year with him in a final year at a 30M hit. He currently has a $30M hit next year with $20M due in cash. He will likely want to stay around the salary range to be in the top paid QB guys. Make it a 3 year, $55M deal and translate the cap hit to $18.3M per year and bump some back end money into signing bonus to make it very attractive for him. We save cap money immediately while also reducing that positional cap money to a relatively league average for top QB's. Pretty much everyone else is in the 16-19M range for their QB and with the cap going up this can be manageable.

tanking is never an option for me.

Lets beat Dem Falcons.

Cheers everybody. Its been a year.
We, arent going anywhere.
Neither is Payton.
Neither is Brees.
