Default Colin Cowherd on the Falcons

This guy makes me sick and he's probably never even had on a jock strap. He's giving Atlanta no shot based on what Carolina did last year. Over hyped NFC South team going against a team that has built a dynasty. All of this after the Falcons outscored Seattle and Green Bay (2 pretty good dynasty teams by the way) 80-41, and the Falcons even took a knee at Seattle's one yard line to end the game.

Someone says the Falcons don't have a chance? That's just nuts.

And I'm a Pats fan.

Atlanta gets loads of press for offense, but they limited a really good offense to not much. I'd say they have an excellent chance.

Steve, Pats should be favored, but I have never seen an offense like Atlanta. They have scored an opening drive touchdown in 8 straight games! That's just insane. If I was Arthur Blank, I would offer Kyle Shanahan a contract that exceeds any other Coordinator. If he does takes the 49ers job, I think it's a huge mistake...

Skip Bayless and Colin Cowherd read facts like weather reports. There is a 5% chance they may be right, with a 100% chance of total BS. You know, alternative facts.

I hope it is a competitive Super Bowl, the Playoffs were terrible.

Yup. Only reason he ever came across semi-rationale is because he shared the same stage with Bayless for many years.

Put him on with anybody else, and now HE'S the crazy one.

I never will understand why so many folks 'watch' these radio show guys.


I watch a little bit of 'undisputed', but not much...and have watched the 'herd' and 'first take' exactly once each - two of the few times I've been able to exercise some self control.

mike greenberg is barely acceptable.

I would much rather watch the true NFL analysts, many of whom have actually played (which is why I can stand some of 'undisputed'.)


...and while I'm complaining... I will again mention how much I HATE the background music that is played during EVERY highlight and EVERY statistical graphic!!

The result of 24 hour channels that have to come up with programming to fill time. Sports idiots just like political idiots on the other channels.

Pats fan here and I too heard, no pun intended, what C C said about the Falcons. As stated earlier in the thread, many except the most Yahooooooooo Pats fans( can`t be helped) are NOT taking ATL lightly at all. We`ve seen this script before with the high flying, and I mean high flying, offense running on all cylinders headed to the S Bowl. What I`m looking forward to is seeing if the ATL coaching staff makes adjustments to counter Belichick and company if the Falcons don`t get out to a quick start. Here in N E we`ve grown accustomed to never knowing what the Pat`s staff will do as far as game plan. At around 58 pts thinking UNDER the Pats win say 30-21, if it goes OVER that has to favor Atl. Should be an exciting game though. On a side note never could stand Steven A. but over the last year or so, since leaving Baliss, have noticed he`s one of the FEW that doesn`t constantly toe the ESPN line and will somewhat take the contrarian stance.

pats hater here

I think ATL will have a low scoring halftime lead, and pats will blow them out in the 2nd half. BB is too good at making halftime adjustments and they've been here before.

41-19 pats

Lifelong Pats fan here, and truth be told, I am nervous about the Falcons. However, that being said, I feel BB, Josh McDaniels and Matt Patricia will put up an excellent game plan to lead us to victory.

It would be the ultimate delight to see officials remove footballs from the Patriots sideline during the Super Bowl. Goodell should insist on a test and give the Pats a taste of their own meddling medicine.

Over the last several years I've come to believe that at least in football things really come down to the overall organization. You see glimpses of how dysfunctional some other teams are and it makes you wonder how they attract any coaching talent at all. The 49ers seem pretty messed up right from the top down.

I haven't followed Atlanta much at all, but I'd have to believe they have something similar to the other good teams where the people they hire are allowed to make their decisions without a lot of public second guessing.
Add a bit of stability, they had a few not so great seasons and I don't recall much talk about moving Ryan in favor of a different QB like some teams do at the slightest downturn. He's always been good, and made a lot fewer mistakes this year. I don't know enough about them to get an idea if he's finally got a better offensive line or if something finally fell into place. Young guys tend to try to make some throws because sometimes they can (Farve never seemed to outgrow that) At some point it either takes them to backup land or out of football, or they stop doing it.

One of the more recent things I saw - I forget if it was preseason or late last year- was in the same week a Pats practice squad guy saying Brady had given him a pretty decent little bonus out of his own pocket for intercepting him in practice. Maybe two days later there was an article about the Dolphins starter getting picked off in practice and going off on the practice squad guy along the lines of "enjoy you practice squad life and practice squad pay"
Don't have to see too many of those stories to realize why some guys never really get it together.

Should be a good game, of course I'm hoping the Pats win, by enough that it's not a nail biter but close enough to be interesting. It won't be horrible if Atlanta wins.

Rooting for pats...But think ATL will pull this out 31-17. I like Colin cowherd, he's paid to give hot takes...That's why ur posting about him on a baseball card forum. Any Harry from Omaha doing the afternoon shift can give vanilla viewpoints.

True but I think there is a difference between a hot take and a guy who has a point of view. I don't think he has a point of view. It's all buzz words with that guy.

Dan Lebatard at least knows when he is bringing up things that he doesnt have a clue on an outcome and points out the undercurrents of whats really going on...

Everyone of these successful guys have an angle...Lebatard is in on the joke and too smart for the room, Steven a is a screaming know-it-all, Bayless is an unapologetic shameless Homer who hates LeBron, cowherd is a contrarian to the popular view, and Simmons got too big for his britches. They all are clearly very good at their job and the top performers in their field.

Here's what I'd like to know: Is Kyle Shanahan ready to become a head coach or is he just someone who is buzzed about at the right time? Can he do what someone like a Dan Quinn or even Adam Gase has done? Or is he overhyped?

We can hope - lets see just how deep Arthur's pockets are.


Question: Do Coaches' salaries count against the Cap?

They don't; only player salaries count.

WRT the Super Bowl, I'm pulling for the Patriots, but wouldn't be terribly disappointed with a Falcons win. I saw Matt Ryan play at BC a few times, where he had to carry the program. I'm glad he finally has a good supporting cast.

I really think the odds are against the Falcons here.

I got sick of the Patriots around 2003/2004.

It's no big deal. The Patriots are really good at doing this kind of thing, and all of the professional sports teams in Atlanta are good at receiving it.

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

It'll be a great day for football when Brady and Belichick retire.
