One of our patterns has been that we let the other team march down the field on its first drive, presumably so we can "see what their gameplan is," lull them into a false sense of "hey, it's working" security, and then we adjust while they continue to beat the same drum. I have to believe that other teams see that pattern and the easy counter is to do one thing on the first drive and then switch it up the next time you get the ball, and keep switching it up, staying one step ahead. I'm not good enough at X's and O's to know whether the Pats and Falcons (and maybe to some extent the Saints) did that. But my sport is baseball and that's what good pitchers do, switch it up the second and third times through the lineup. Anyone have any thoughts?

I just want to keep bumping this topic because it's fun to ***** with some people.

Defense was terrible in the first half, no doubt (although two of the Falcons’ three scoring drives were massively penalty-aided). In the second half, they gave up three (3) points and about 110 yards. After the offense came out with a TD drive in the second half, the defense gave the offense multiple opportunities to get back in it, and the offense ***** the bed every single time. By the end when they finally gave up a field goal, who could blame them? They were patchwork by that point, and gassed. The defense has given up 23 and 24 points in the last two games. A 30-ppg offense wins both of those games. This is on the offense.

Oh look an end-around that works

Three times in the last three weeks with this *****. Shakir, Knox, Moore. For the love of god STOP IT

Was he now?

Crazy play

He’s back home in the (sort of) dome.

You know it’s the third quarter, right?

Probably too close to let it go, but yeah.

Why did we activate Codrington?

Penix out here missing wide open receivers but there’s a wide open guy on every play so it doesn’t matter.

How in the world is that not a catch after Kelce last night?

We won’t even get a chance to double dip. Not that we could.

Cool, 96 yard run coming up

If Josh had just kept going he had the first down and a lot more

Well it’s not four-down territory anymore.

The production quality of this broadcast is absolute ass.

The run on first down to get to the end of the quarter was so predictable

Again and again London is moving forward at the snap

Of course we get no pass rush there

Both Atlanta drives extended by bogus penalties

God I hate this defense, they just can’t get off the field /s

It does feel like the league is ensuring that certain narratives remain in place now that the Ravens' and Bengals' seasons have gone down in flames.

Great googily moogily, this is good.
