+2 | 6-9 | There is a reason other teams are chomping at the bit to play a team as predictable as the Falcons, and it goes beyond playcalling. Who could have guessed the Falcons would win two games in a row for the first time this season.. as soon as they were eliminated from playoff contention. Who could have guessed Kirk Cousins and Kyle Pitts would start playing their best football two weeks away from a (over)pay day? On the bright side, the usual suspects had great games. Allgeier and Bijan dominated on the ground, both running for over 75 yards. Shoutout to Bijan again for adding 90 yards receiving to his total. Dorlus generated several pressures, and Devine Deablo might be the single strongest correlation to a victory this season. Deablo missed four games but has started in every win this season, going 6-5 (which is more than anyone else can say). Shoutout to Jake Matthews, who is practicing on the jugs machine as we speak, and to Raheem for taking advantage of London's dawg mentality by starting a still-injured player. Another blocked field goal has the fanbase wondering how Marquice Williams is still here, but then Raheem wouldn't be able to scapegoat his players for the losses. The Rams await, where an LA win simultaneously equates to better draft position for the Rams and Atlanta getting closer to hiring Rich McKay's son as new general manager. |
22. | [](/CIN) | Bengals | +2 | 5-10 | Okay so I’ve been rewatching Death Note lately, and I just want to ask, can we acknowledge just how bad of a detective L is? This dude is straight up Hank Schrader levels of bad at his job. He should have caught Light by like episode 10 at the most. I 100% could have caught Kira, I’m not saying this to brag it’s more to illustrate how bad L is at being a detective. Here’s what you do: you can catch Light as Kira pretty easily if you just force him into an unexpected situation. The moment that Light is suspected of being Kira, I would not just surveil him, you apply pressure. Here’s my plan: I suspect that Light Yagami is Kira, so I during the period in which he’s under surveillance, go to his dad and tell him that he needs to isolate himself and Light for 1 week. Do not give Light any warning, just he comes home from school one day and BOOM “Light you’re under suspicion of being Kira, to prove your innocence we’re going to Uncle Tony’s mountain cabin for a week, let’s go to your room to pack.” Right here I’ve just checkmated Light by Episode 8. He has 2 options, accept it and go, immediately criminals that he hasn’t pre-written down stop dying and we get confirmation he’s at minimum involved. Remember that although he wrote down names in advance, he still killed new criminals while under surveillance to try and fool L into thinking he wasn’t Kira. Or option 2 he refuses to go and that looks sus as hell. The only play Light has left I guess would be giving up the Death Note and losing his memories in hope he can catch the new Kira and gain his memories like he does in the show, but that required planning, and set up that he was able to think through, all of which I have denied him by springing this on him suddenly. I fucking win bitch. Speaking of Light, this dude cannot stop looking suspicious to save his life. Not only does he deliberately taunt L during his time under surveillance, but he does it in a way that makes it so incredibly obvious that he’s aware he’s under surveillance and is taunting him. Bro really couldn’t get out of his own way. Oh yeah and the Bengals played a game this weekend and fucked up their draft position because this franchise can’t do anything fucking right. |
23. | [](/MIA) | Dolphins | -1 | 6-9 | Quinn Ewers showed some positive and negatives in his first NFL start against the Bengals. The biggest positive is that he's not Tua Tagovailoa and the biggest negative is that he hadn't been starting sooner. In all seriousness though, he looked solid. He definitely better than his stat line suggests but unfortunately was forced to press due the defense completely collapsing once again in the 3rd quarter.
