Falcons might be the worst team in the NFL history

The Falcons have some offensive weapons in Bijaun Robinson, Drake London and even Kyle Pitts. Their defense would be ranked about average in the NFL this year. They have one glaring weakness, the QB position. They should be able to compete in the NFC South but that is the weakest division in the NFL now.

Defense is missing 2 LBs. o line is getting old and we don’t have a kicker. Time to tear down and rebuild again. And no QB is a killer in the NFL.

Posting this before it ends. Last year UNC/TCU was supposed to be competitive but obviously a blowout. This year most predicted a blowout, but is quite competitive.

Edit: Okay maybe a blowout is a little strong, but most didn't predict a close game.

Winner gets in the Walmart Grease Monkey bowl.
 
UNC won and got some payback for last year's embarrassment against TCU. There are a lot of freshman and sophomore players on the UNC squad who played today so an optimist might see some potential there. Of course, with the mess that the UNC football program has as far as management, there is also the potential that UNC might crash and burn as the season goes on.

I'm watching the N.C. State/Virginia game and there is no commentary from the booth. I like this concept. It helps me, at least, actually concentrate on what's happening on the field and if the broadcast didn't cut away for commercials every time there was a break in the action I almost feel like I'm a stadium watching the game.

Oh I see. They get 2 first round picks from Toronto in 2031 and 2033. They got that when trading away Kawhi. Fun.

So still no 1st round till 2031 which is brutal.
 
It’s going to be a great day!! Why? Because it gameday!! Let’s Go Jackets!!!

Totally random. Today's matchup reminds me in 1990, both Colorado and GT shared a national championship in football. Back when the #1 and #2 teams weren't guaranteed to play each other due to bowl commitments. Both won their bowls handedly.

During regular season, Colorado never lost, although I think they won a game off a controversial finish over a 5th down being awarded in a comeback. GT never lost but got a tie against UNC. Mack Brown's 3rd year when they finally started improving after 2-20 the previous 2 years. Big upset back then, but they were on the up and up.

Anyway, Colorado got #1 in the AP poll, GT #1 in the coaches poll. Wish they could have played each other back then. Don't ask me how I remember this stuff--it's weird.

Nice summary! I remember it like it was yesterday! Yep, the crazy 5th down game vs Missouri.

I was young--one of the 1st college football seasons I remember vividly. That 5th down controversy was wild. Can you imagine if that happened today?? Course it would have been sorted out in the playoff nowadays, but you know what I mean..
 
They just reported Mendoza left ankle still hurting from that late 1st half sack, which caused him to limp to sideline.

GT has a mere 24 rushing yards through 3 qtrs! Keep in mind that their only TD was from a >100 yard kickoff return.

Edit 11:10PM: GT blocked the CO FG try! They have ball up 10-7 midway through 4th.

Mendoza then drove GT down field to a FG to go up 13-7 with 1:40 left. CO used up all 3 timeouts. But then CO drives with no TO for a TD to go up 14-13 with :37 left! Then Mendoza drives GT quickly to ~28 yard line for FG try. But kick is blocked!! CO wins 14-13!
