If you get close to something, are pretty sure you'll succeed, but then fail, you "Falconed" it.

Lol same phenomenon with the Broncos. Just a different F word.

and the Browns...

Well the Browns beat the Panthers 21-18 but it was ugly.

Watson started but it is hard to judge his performance. His numbers weren't all that good but he did have two touchdowns with no turnovers and ran for 45 yards along with 144 yards passing.. What makes it tough to judge is due to the offensive line. Since there were no sacks you could say they protected but they killed drives with penalties. Shoot, on one drive the offensive line had five penalties.

Thank you Browns! I hate the Panthers almost as much as I hate the Saints! When the Saints come to Atlanta, the scoreboard just shows "Visitors." They will not put that name in our stadium.

Falcons FINALLY got Penix back in action and beat the crap out of Green Bay. Green Bay is pretty bad, and the Falcons aren't near as bad as they looked the first 2 weeks (knock on wood). The fans treated that game like it was a super-bowl win or something LOL- it felt so good to EXPECT something good to happen for once. Now I'm nervous- we have "Aints" next.

And the Browns have the luck of the schedule. Playing Thursday night they get the Steelers. Of course the Steelers have the same short week but I believe, at this point, the Steelers are better able to handle a short week.

I'm not saying that the Browns can't win the game but three rookies on the offensive line and only three games together makes one wonder what they can do on a short week against the Steelers. These rookies are good but not yet really a unit which probably accounts for the high amount of pre-snap penalties.

 

[jaylach70 187]

Well Brown/Steelers are about to play. To be honest I expect the Steelers to win but the Browns have some quality players. If the Browns' O-Line can play cohesive they have a decent chance.

 

[jaylach70 187]

Browns actually did it and beat the Steelers. Who would have guessed that Cleveland would be in first place in their division after 4 games?

Bills vs Pats on Sunday. Bills are arguably the best team in football right now. This is an extremely important game for the Pats as the Bills are first in their division. I hope Maye can bounce back into his form of last season. Otherwise I can see fans giving up on him and perhaps the Pats resorting to using their backup Quartbacks in future games.

@jaylach congratulations on the Browns victory! I know it's weird to say that to fans when we don't really affect the game, but we suffer or celebrate with the team and that can be hard work! The Falcons showed what we wanted to believe last Thursday against Green Bay, although Green Bay is not very good. I'll take it regardless. Falcons fans were celebrating like we'd won the Super Bowl - we were so starved for anything good- the first 2 games were SO horrible that I think we shocked everyone. (They...not we, I can't help it). Fans were quietly optimistic, but not willing to say it out loud for fear of being "Falconed" - having the good ripped off like a band-aid just when it seems like it's all going to work out. That didn't happen last week, and hopefully the Falcons will beat the hated Saints tomorrow. knock on wood.

Drake Maye and the Patriots have redeemed themselves. Maye had a combined passing/rushing yardage of over 300 yards. He had some awesome passes and just one turnover. He got 31 fantasy points and the Pats won the close game by 29 to 26.

The Chiefs beat Raiders 30 to 27 in a close game. Fascinating game to watch. I follow the Chiefs as Mahomes is such an interesting QB.

I became a Redskins fan in the late 1960s when I was living in the DC area. Their season basically ended yesterday as far as I am concerned. I have lived in NY since the end of the 70s and could not care less about the Jets or Giants. Oddly enough the only Pro game I ever attended in person was a Giants-redskins games in the early 1980s in the Meadowlands in NJ. *sigh*

 

[jaylach70 187]

Why do I have a hunch that someone is quite happy about a certain Monday Night Football game...

 

[MuddyWaters2]

OMG man I've been dancing a jig every morning waking up and realizing the Falcons kicked the @$#@#$^ out of the Aints! Most of the country doesn't realize how strong that rivalry is. It's like a college rivalry. Beating them, especially when we were set up- yet again - to get beat on their anniversary of the Katrina thing- was the absolute best.

Sad news. Da Coach, Mike Ditka has passed away. RIP Coach.

My Eagles are playing a jet lag game at 6:30am west coast time in London. I'm not hopeful, too many injuries & idiot plays. Our season may already be over
