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...

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. Steve B |

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?
