None of them will perform like they have without a kick ass offensive line and Mack is the key to that, read the stats before and after he came to Atlanta. I’m not pretending to be an expert here, read that article, it’s very good.
Off tomorrow and have my good bet on the Falcons at 11/4,head says Patriots but fuck it Julio will piss on Butler or whoever they try on him! Bring it home Matty ice.
Indeed. Despite zeki polling third overall in the MVP.
Here’s my favorite titbit;
The Falcons have scored an opening-drive touchdown in eight straight games, while this game’s total suggests 5.9 points should be scored every six minutes. Incredibly, New England has failed to score a single point in the first quarter of all six Super Bowls quarterbacked by Tom Brady, a statistic of which the Patriots are acutely aware.
Also, i quite enjoyed this little narrative heading into the game. Not sure if it’s been posted.
Would you go away outta that. He’s an important piece and does anchor an improved O-Line, but to call him the key to the offense is absurd. Shanahan is what has put this O over the top, and Ryan, Jones/Sanu and Freeman/Coleman are more important than Mack still.
Fair enough. You could have been less of a prick about it, I would contend that all of the above with the possible exception of the QB are replaceable with little effect on the offence, Julio possibly as well, Sanu ffs sake . They’d miss Mack badly, the stats are clear to see if you read the article.
Yes I read the article, which was a nice piece about Mack but illustrated almost nothing in terms of evidence of his importance statistically. There were a few stats thrown out about Atlanta’s offensive improvement but there was nothing causative linking any improvement to Mack.
The presence of Sanu is immensely important. He’s quick and has good hands, so he can stretch the field and take some heat from Jones. Ryan is back to his previously shown ability, which he produced when he had Roddy White with Julio. Sanu is definitely an important piece.
is defending your opinions not the TFK way, go way to fuck.
@carryharry, I wouldn’t discuss football with a 7 year old, I’d be shocked if you had a notion of how anybody outside of the marquee positions could have any worth, typical fantasy player that hasn’t a notion, the only reason you even know who Sanu is was because you had him in your team for some of the year.
I’m looking forward to hearing your searing analysis tonight.
