Congratulations on planting your rear end firmly on the hot seat, Ron Rivera!

Not like that decision really cost them the game or anything, but when your team is this lovely the year after a superbowl run and you had years of being lovely leading up to it, you're not gonna be able to lean on that for very long.

Coaches/managers who have "dress codes" are the fuckin worst. Is your team going to win more games because they wore certain articles of clothing on an airplane?

I can see maybe "Don't wear dirty, stained sweatpants when you're performing a team function" or something, but anything more than that is just "rules for the sake of rules" bullshit.

He left so many loving points on the field in the name of "going for it".

It makes sense going for 2 after you go up 1, a pick-2 is pretty rare and the Falcons have a great offense. The first going for 2 was dumb, I think, but I always like going for 2

Cam's outfits are sometimes nice, and I like some of his accessories at times, but often he appears to try too hard. he doesn't have the je ne sais quoi that Russell Westbrook has to pull off anything. His hat game is also somehow both wild and boring at the same time

Wasn't able to watch the skins game but it sucks to lose one that went back and forth like that. Can't really get too mad at anything except for the 20 yard field goal. This team just extra sucks in the red zone without reed.

My hot take:

- Strict dress codes are dumb for the most part. But I think if they went NBA style and allowed players to look fly, it'd be cool. But the rookie players making the leagud minimum might struggle with it.
- Cam probably knew what the dress code was and didn't follow it. Either it was an oversight or a slight defiance against Ron Rivera and his control.
- Having Cam sit out 1 series was fine for punishment, if any punishment was to be given at all. I was at the game and didn't even notice Derek Anderson taking the snap.

Of all the games to be my first to attend in person, that was a pretty drat good one. Rawls looked good, Lockett looked good, Kearse actually caught stuff. No idea how much the defense will suffer without Earl, but the difference between him and Terrell is smaller than the difference between Kam and his backup, it seems.

Rookie players making league minimum aren't being interviewed for TV and thus their clothes choices don't matter.

If you're gonna enforce a dress code, don't use a punishment that hits the entire franchise like starting your lovely backup in an important game. Make Cam write an essay on the history of the necktie or something

The league minimum is also like half a million dollars so I don't think they'd have a problem buying some sweet suits and accessories.

The Falcons might be the only team in NFL history to score the go-ahead touch-down and then lose because their opponent knelt out the final 2 minutes.

The Saints didn't actually go ahead on that, though, they just tied it. The Falcons were actually up a point, and the return let KC pass them up for the lead again and the win.

I made a post last week about how the AFC West is home to basically all of the elite OLB/DEs, but after seeing Casey Hayward's game yday I realized that it is also home to the best CBs:

Aqib Talib
Chris Harris Jr.
Jason Verrett
Casey Hayward
Sean Smith
Marcus Peters


If you were putting together a top 10 CB list about 4 of those guys would end up on it. Just insane how much defensive talent the AFC West has.

Another thing players should do to save money is to only eat out of the dumpster until they cant physically do it anymore and then probably eat their leftover money. Just thinking things up on the spot for now but please dont comment on my ideas until i have thought aboit it some more

That was actually a pretty tame (and still dressed well) outfit.

Ron Rivera clearly is from a military family because he enjoys stupid, by the letter rules that have no actual effect on the outcome of anything except to make you look like petty children.

I think that everything they wear has to be ~*~Official NFL Gear~*~ available for purchase with the idea being that people watching the game will get excited with the chance to buy their coach's hat or whatever.

I might be misremembering here, but I think Belichick started wearing the grey hoodie as a gently caress you to the league because it was the cheapest, cruddiest sweatshirt available for sale

Apparently that was into the third quarter, and he also took like 5 sacks and was just a nightmare.

Kaepernick has played well in inclement weather before, so who knows, but he apparently looked like he was horrified at the concept of wind and snow yesterday.
