ATL - 2026 Playoffs - Harbaugh to Giants

To me that speaks to much more about, if you have the right infrastructure and personnel, you can get top-tier QB production from any half-way decent starter in this league. Beyond the past 15-years or so, you'd never have these mediocre QB's tossing for nearly 4,000 yards and posting triple-digit QB ratings. The elite tier guys simply stood out more on the merits of pure arm talent rather than check-downs, inflated completion percentage, and college air raid schemes. I mean, are we all of a sudden gonna say that Mac Jones is "good" now just because he gets to play in Shanahan's offense and hand the ball off to Christian McCaffrey? Jones was legitimately saddled with one of the most talent barren offenses the last few years in New York. It's not that much of a surprise that he's on pace for 4,000 yards and like 22-25 TD's now that he actually has good weapons around him.

I mean good organizations put good infrastructure around their QBs? So whichever word you want to use is fine. The point rather is all of these QBs were close to be written off as starters and are now playing at very high levels

I love it's being called the Icy Hot Bowl tonight.

We'll see if 80 year old Al Michaels makes any cracks.

Not a fan of Steelers playing today and us having a late Sunday afternoon game before we face off next week.

It seems like these teams really get up to play us then make dumb mistakes against everyone else.

Washington had three dumb azz turnovers vs the Bears, basically unforced.

Bengals RB drops a wide open pass that would've at least gotten them to FG range, special teams punt coverage runs straight into the returner for a penalty. I feel like since we got Parsons every team plays us like it's their Superbowl.

Heavy rain and 50 MPH winds expected in Cleveland for the Browns/Dolphins game. Can't wait.

The expedited review needs to be used every time. It's quick and accurate. No reason to have the ref looking at a little monitor talking to NY

What a great pick by Turner. That's 2 for Rodgers.

Flacco is balling. I have to imagine Browning is now having a traumatic existential crisis.

Last week is slightly less embarrassing now.

Winning by 9 last week doesn't look so bad right

Darnell Washington and DK duo gives so much size and strength. Going to be tough to stop them both next week, and they both block very well.

Bengals' longest play that game was 19 yards. They have like 5 +25 yard plays tonight. It's a dangerous offense with a competent QB

DJ Turner looked like Richard Sherman against us and he gives up that??
