And we will have a pass rush too!

And that was with 50% completion. Imagine how this is all going to look when they get more consistent. We are already special, and were not even that "good" yet.

I think thats for players? These are comp picks for losing a minority front office guy elevated to GM.

We have our QB. The discussion is over. Caleb is a franchise QB. The Pack is no longer our owners, we got that monkey off of our back definitively. We won the division, and we beat them in the playoffs. It's OVER. Bears are the better team now. Lets see how far we can ride this. We either play the Rams or the Eagles next. We've beaten the Eagles already, and the Rams didnt look superhuman today against the Panthers. And then next year, with a pass rush, we are coming for it all.

We are about 4 feet away on a single Caleb pass from having beaten the Pack 3-0 this year. We are the best team in the NFC North. The curse is over. Pack is second best. Lets GO!

Biggest, most important game for the franchise in a LONG time. Not just to win the WC round playoff game, but to beat the Packers to do it. Let's not beat em at the last second, lets dominate them and break their will. That's what I want. a STATEMENT win.

I didnt see the rumors - Ashkum did, I was just playing with the idea. It sounds far fetched for the reasons you just said, but id be all for it of course.

yes please - Id love that. Make it that Atlanta signs Cunningham, then trades him for Poles - we get the compensatory picks too then LOL

thank you

Yeah ones gonna be Pres and the other ones gonna be GM, and theyre just figuring it out. If it was me, I think the player goes President, and the asst GM goes GM.

thank you! and can we trade next years pick this year? I feel like there has been some prohibition on that with compensatory picks in the past, but not any more, but again, Im not an expert.

yeah, I mean it doesnt cost them anything, so they are just thinking about who they want for what job I guess. My instinct is that it WOULD count and wed get the picks, but I dunno. I mean they're trying to get "minorities" jobs right? And you're trying to incentivize teams to have "minority" assistant GMs, so why wouldn't you award this? I mean the whole thing is dumb to me anyway. Teams will hire whoever they think can win with, I dont think the NFL is racist. But I also dont mean to open a whole can of worms or any kind of discussion about that right now, 24 hours before the playoff game! And if theyre handing out 3rd round picks for anything, Ill take as many as I can get, no matter why.

Found this - not sure it answers anything, but its out there.

I see where Ian Cunningham is being strongly considered for GM or President of the Falcons. I know that if he becomes GM, we will get two 3rd round compensatory picks. I assume the same would be true if they tab him for President, but Im not sure, so if anyone knows Id love to know: 1) do we still get the picks if he is President and not GM? 2) do we get the first of those picks in this year's draft, and the next one next year? 3) are the picks tradeable? 4) are both the picks tradeable this year? Might be helpful for moving up int he first round for a pass rusher, or in trade for one. Thanks to anyone who knows and can tell me!

The man in the High Tower is holding him back.

Lets Go!

can can can

lol yes

All good news. And as long as Kyler Gordon can stay in there and be effective, we probably wont miss CJGJ Saturday.

Logic says it will be a hard fought game. No one is the obvious clear favorite here. I hope we kick their ass, but let's not crown them yet? We gotta earn this one.

interesting.

Also, AI gets this backwards all the time, so if those quotes are AI generated, they might just be AI failing to understand what -1.5 means? But either way, I appreciate the info.

excellent, thank you Mongo. Of course I understand opening lines too, it's just that everywhere I looked, like ESPN, and All the Vegas casinos (second link below) opened with the Pack as 1.5 pt faves. I do appreciate seeing evidence of the other side of this coin. I didnt think there was any, given what id seen, and its good to know the truth, so thank you. https://www.espn.com/nfl/odds https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/

all the places I looked opened as Packers -1.5, which for betting purposes seems about right?

right, and thats because people will bet for the Packers anyway. For a while there you could do pretty well if you bet against the Packers and the Patriots (with Brady) and took the points. That was because the betters thoguth they were better than they were. The Packer and Patriots won a bunch of those games too, but they didnt cover the spread because the spread was inflated by meatheads who thought those teams were godly, rather than just winners. Anyway, Adam, I dont mean to disagree with you too much about this - we agree on like 99.9% of everything else.
