What the hell are they doing? They traded up to get a guy who wasn't get picked for another 20 or 30 picks.
Falcons are doing a "hold my beer" style draft.
It's actually worse than just the draft pick being way too high for this move, because of the size and length of contract they just gave Cousins.
It's definitely a "WTF?" moment.
Brain dead pick, IMHO.
They could have traded back with the Vikings for a small haul, instead of drafting a guy who might not play for 2 or 3 years. And Pennix probably would have still been there at 11.
Yeah, very good. Not outstanding. Not good. Very good. That's a pretty fair summation of a team that won ten games and was playing for the ACC championship.
You're also creating your own set of "facts," which you don't get to do: FSU beat 3 ranked opponents: LSU, Duke, and Louisville.
What a strange statement. They beat a very good Louisville team last night.
If I were an FSU fan, I'd be upset. Very upset. 13-0 and a conference championship win against a very good team not good enough? Whodwegotta pay?
Pretty sure I was watching UGA v. GATech. I respooled and replayed a bunch of the no-calls. Obvious to a blind man and any ref not from the ACC.
But, hey, kudos on your "we were competitive" moral victory! It made the game watchable.
Sorry, and I say this liking GA Tech a lot and cheering for them against anyone except the Dawgs: That ACC crew was doing everything they could to help. Jacket's o-line was holding so much, so obviously, it was downright silly. Called fairly, that offense puts up maybe 250 yards, tops.
Tech...
UGA will put 8 in the box and dare the Wildcats to throw.
Meantime, Bobo finally grows a pair and starts the game with the throttle wide open on downfield passing.
He made some great points.
Let me counter with this: Saban's contract is worth $94 million. That kind of money does tend to create heightened expectations.
