Falcons secondary looked gassed out at the end and Edelman had so much energy still. The majority of Atlanta's players started losing man to man battles they weren't for the first 3/4 of the game, even if by an inch. Where'd the pass rush go from the 70% of the game?

Brady.........he saw the dominos start to fall. Play and clock management tiring out an already gassed out defense. It was cringe-worthy from someone that's not an Atlanta fan. So many what ifs. That should've-been-pick. Defense looked their worst after Ryan was sacked for the fumble.

The NFL overtime rule has always bugged me, I've made a post about it before. its just an obvious advantage to the team that has possession first opposed to college where the offense has to score, then the defense has to stop them 4 downs to get the win. Atlanta would've still lost by how shit was going down but I've never liked that rule.

As bad as the Failclowns defense played in the second half, Atlanta still would have won the game if they would have ran the ball and kicked a field goal when they were in FG range in the 4th quarter. A made FG would have put them back up by 2 scores, but a penalty and a sack took them out of FG range and they had to punt. Brady took the PATS from their own 9 yard line down the field for the tying score.

We all know that Brady and Trump are friends, so it is Trump's fault Atlanta lost.

Texans trade QB Osweiler to Cleveland - http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18865828/making-sense-unprecedented-brock-osweiler-trade-nfl

First - He is doomed, like all QB's who go to Cleveland

Second - Haunted's man - UNC QB may not be doomed to go to Cleveland

Cleveland is getting a 2017 6th round pick and a 2nd round pick in 2018, but they are also picking up the 16 mil salary that Osweiler will get in 2017.

The Texans are getting a 2017 4th round pick.

I was really relieved when I saw that. It would've been a damn shame if a signal caller with his arm and accuracy that ran the 40 .01 seconds slower than deshawn Watson went to Cleveland. Itll be interesting to see where he winds up. Also, did you see that UNC's tj Logan posted the fastest speed overall at the combine?

This guy was terrible at LSU

Yeah. I don't know what they're thinking. Maybe that's the best they can get.... Maybe he'll do ok playing against lesser defenses and hitting tight ends for 3-4 yd gains constantly on a spread offense. UNC will not be good next year at all I'm guessing. I think they snagged a 4 star RB that'll be a freshman that's promising, but the OL has lost people and the D will be terrible I'm sure. Plus des lawrence(cb) is being drafted(and their star quarterback, and all of their running backs, their best guy on d Nasir jones(dt), etc.).

So yeah, expect va tech or Miami to play Florida st or Clemson in the ACC championship, and expect unc to drop games to Duke and Boston college.

ACC Coastal

1. VA Tech
2. Miami
3. Pittsburgh
4. Ga Tech
5. UNC(if they're lucky)
6. Duke
7. UVA

I'm taking a look at college recruiting and was surprised to see that UNC snagged the #14 ranked linebacker in the country, Payton Wilson. My first thought is good for them, maybe he wouldn't have started at Alabama but he did turn down full scholarships from ohio state, Clemson, and others. He's from NC and has always been a tar heel fan. Then I notice that he's the #3 linebacker just in NC, and my 2nd thought is acknowledging what has always hurt UNC and NC State is not being able to keep the talent in-state when there's so much of it.

Looking at the schedules for opening weekend. Florida State v. Alabama. Dang, that'll definitely be where college game day is. Alabama is #1 in recruiting for both '16 and '17, FSU is #6 and #3 respectively, both return a lot of starters. For Focalor: Georgia is #3 and #2 in those same years. If the coaching staff can get their shit together and the talented but green qb eason can get into a rhythm they COULD finally take the sec east again.

I (and most Dawgs fans) don't care about the SEC East title. The goal is the SEC CONFERENCE Championship. You can't get into the SEC Championship without the East title, sure, but we've owned that plenty of times. The roadblock has always been the West school at the SEC Championship game, and they're usually ranked #1 (or top 3) by the time it comes. Alabama, Auburn, LSU, all have beat us in that game and went on to win it all (not LSU, they lost the Natl title in a close one). So actually UGA's REAL goal isn't a win over the West in the SEC overall title game, it's kinda the National Title by default. And I don't see that Eason will improve enough on his own to carry the team. And even then, we'd still need another RB with runaway dumptruck Nick Chubb skills, which he doesn't possess himself anymore apparently, or a brilliant slippery stiffarm artist like Todd Gurley, which are skills that won't be seen again for a looooooong time. Without a ringer RB, Georgia's pass game is doomed. Eason won't improve enough even in two more seasons to overcome the lack of a good RB. He's welcome to prove me wrong though. I didn't think much of QB Aaron Murray in his first season either, and he went on to become maybe the greatest QB in UGA history. But I don't see it happening.

Early prediction... Alabama wins the National Championship in January 2018. Everyone might as well give up now, it's already over.

Ole Miss' Hugh Freeze quits; escort-service calls cited - http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/20117453/hugh-freeze-ole-miss-rebels-resigns-escort-service-calls-cited

My prediction for Alabama FSU:

Alabama will come out to a very early lead. It'll almost make you want to switch the channel due to how bad FSU is getting dominated. Then, midway through the 3rd quarter FSU will start to bring it back, but not enough to win. Alabama by one possession.

I have tickets to UNC notre dame(one of the more hyped matchups for UNC) and against UVA(one of the Very few games NC SHOULD have in the bag). Looking forward to football season.

Fla opens against Michigan
Michigan lost a bunch of players so I don't know how good they will be.
Florida will struggle once again on offense and they lost key players on defense.
I have no clue on this game or how good the Gators will be this year.

They had to pay Ryan a lot on money to do this add, because you know he did not enjoy doing it.
