Week 5 Discussion (Time to Worry?)

[JO_75]

Update on Dak:

 

[rossihunter2]

Michael Gallup - 2 insane grabs in a row to win that game

 

[Dom McRaven]

Vikings up 13-nada against the Hawks at halftime. Shutting down offenses with studs in the first half? Definitely a purple thang.....

 

[rossihunter2]

bit more surprising - GM thomas dimitroff fired too (weird to fire a GM mid-season)

 

[Dom McRaven]

Purple teams have offenses stagnating this week it looks like.

 

[rossihunter2]

last 2 vikings plays are both turnovers - cousins throws an awful pick

 

[rossihunter2]

and the last 2 seattle plays are both tds - vikings just capitulating

 

[Darklight1216]

What a pyrrhic victory for Dallas.

Poor Dak. That made me hurt just looking at it

 

[Dom McRaven]

Vikings, fucking choke artists....

 

[JO_75]

Yikes... $50M in dead cap if Atlanta outright releases Matt Ryan. Going to be tough to start a rebuild with that.

All they had to do was take the three points, go up by 8 and make Russell have to go for two. Terrible decision to go for it and not take points.

not only that but his cap hit will be over 40m
they not only let dimitroff give him a huge extension 2 years ago but they've restructured the deal 3 times since then to open up cap space and push the cap hits into the future

so his cap hit in 2021 is 41m

if they hadnt done the restructuring his cap hits in 2021, 2022 and 2023 would have been 35m, 36m and 30m

as of right now they're at 41m, 42m and 36m

they could conceivably get out of the deal after 2021 and save 15m but they'd have 26m in dead money

that being said if they draft his successor they could maybe find a way to trade him to someone to take the contract off their hands and only be left with the signing and restructure pro-rated bonuses which would incur a ~36m dead money cost which still isnt great but at least its not 50m (and they would technically make a cap saving of nearly 5m if they did it that way

@JO_75 , @rossihunter2

The Falcons need to change the primary jerseys to the red ones. Only our birds can rock the all-blacks like studs.

 

[JAAM]

Are we sure Burrow is the consensus OROY? J-Herb is a straight stud

 

[Ravensnation5220]

Murray looking good out there for the Chargers.

I still had Queen ahead of him but Murray doesnt lack in talent. Dude is a missle

I agree, Herbert has been incredible since taking over. It's unfortunate what happened to Tyrod but it's been nothing but a positive for the Chargers.

Saints need to get their defense figured out. How many years now has that defense choked?

 

[JO_75]

So.... remember when Taysom Hill was called a "poor man's Lamar Jackson" and Jay Glazer called him a "Bigger Lamar Jackson."

Still waiting......

Lol I just came on here to see if anyone had brought up this joke of a comparison yet

 

[Dom McRaven]

Speaking of close losses, the 2015 season for us was a dreadful one in that regard. Of the 11 losses, NINE of them were decided by 8 points or less.

Herbert looks absolutely amazing and he’s doing it with no running game
