| OK....where were these guys last week???? |
|
I didn't get to see the game today, but I was nervous as all get out. I knew that today's game would say a lot about our chances in the postseason. Well, the boys did good.
It's amazing, watching the highlights, how much the sportscasters' opinions swing from week to week. Last week, the Falcons were a mediocre team benefitting from an easy schedule. This week, they are a great football team that shut out the mighty Giants and have what it takes to go all the way. Which one is it, ESPN? |

Thom Jackson on ESPN spewed that shit about the weak schedule and in the past he has gushed over the Saints. I e-mailed him a few weeks ago about how the Saints have the same schedule and the only reason theirs is "stronger" is that they have the Falcons on it and the Falcons have the lowly Saints on their schedule. 
Those assholes can't stand it that their Saints and Drew Breeeesssssssssssssss ain't gonna be in the playoffs and they can't go on and on about Katrina.. 
Of course, they how have the "less than Cat 1" "superstorm" Sandy to go on about. |

The parity of NFL teams and schedule changing from year to year are two reasons why a team can look awful one week and Super Bowl contenders the next.
Successful teams treat the season as 16 single game seasons and are able overcome a bad performance in a prior week. The talking heads at ESPN and sports radio in general suffer from a bad case of group think. One person says something and then everybody starts parroting it ad nauseum . Monk |
