That the video features multiple instances of Cowherd being wrong is just the cherry on top of the sundae.

I am sure you would have said the same thing the last 3 years when ATL went 4-12, 6-10 and 8-8 with Julio and Matty Ice both there.

Um this is Dak' s only season, so you are comparing where they both are at this juncture...not hypotheticals about past seasons. Matt Ryan will likely win the MvP, and the Falcons have basically been the best offense in football since week 1. Dallas has an efficient and good offense....but Atlanta's is explosive.

[yetisnowman]

Nope

Yeah I'm waiting to hear how "arguably" fits here. There's no argument that Dak is as good or better than Ryan this season. Ryan threw for 1400 more yards and 15 more tds

No, I agree that Matt Ryan is a much better QB than Dak this year.

My issue is that Rut is saying look at what ATL has done in player acquisition but didn't make the same point when the same players were going 4-12, 6-10 or 8-8.

Burnett may be the biggest injury right now. The pass defense (HHCD included) performs much better with him on the field.

Rodgers: 1-17 as an underdog when GB allows 26+ points (first win: Sunday in Dallas)

ATL has scored 28+ in all but one home game this year

It's a hard row to hoe when you put up 45 points and lose.

to me the dal game was 50/50 depending on when you asked me. it rode on who's d would play best. it turned out to be the last team with the ball wins.

this game doesn't quite feel the same to me. it might come down to last team with the ball but...i've got a feeling the playoff run might come to an end...60/40.

either way...after last week, living HERE, my season is pretty much made. i won't be too disappointed...unless we get totally screwed by the refs.

Thanks to Julio Jones, the Panthers' Bene Benwikere was the NFL's worst player in Week 4

I'll stop short of saying Dak has been better this season, but I will say 4 things: 1. As was said or implied, Ryan hasn't been that great until this year, 2. Dak is still on the way up - the way he played last week against the Packers even was better than the already high level he played all season, 3. Dak has a little bit of Aaron Rodgers in him in that he doesn't take many chances/throw a lot of interceptions, whereas Ryan kinda leans the other way, in the games I've seen him anyway, and 4. Mobility means a lot these days; Prescott has it, Ryan doesn't.

You're saying the Packers have been underdogs 18 times since Rodgers was the starting QB? That's hard to believe.

Ryan has been a top QB in the league for years. Both Ryan and Arod have thrown 7 INT's this year.

I'll ask again. Did you watch Ryan play against Seattle? Granted he's not as mobile as Arod, but he ran for several 1st downs vs Seattle. Plus, he doesn't necessarily need mobility if he gets rid of the ball as quickly as he did against Seattle. And most throws right on target.

Dom apparently wanted to contain Zeke and make Dak beat them with his arm. I guaran-damn-tee you Dom doesn't go into Atlanta employing the same strategy.
