Ryan's comment regarding the matter: I inherited a team that was 31st in the league in defense and made them better," Ryan told ESPNDallas.com. "I (expletive) made them a hell of a lot better. I'll be out of work for like five minutes. | ||

In 2010 the Cowboys were second in scoring defense. In 2011, they fell to 17th in scoring defense. This season, they were ninth. Now, perhaps he didn't have all the players he needs to run his defensive system, but the mark of a great coach is adaptability. Take, for instance (a hot name in the league right now) Mike McCoy in Denver. He changed the entire offense-- in the middle of the season, no less (!)-- and won some games with Tim Tebow quarterbacking for him. That's impressive, and that's why McCoy is such a hot name for a head coaching spot this season. All that said, Rob Ryan did have the Browns ranked second overall in his first year as their DC, and 11th overall in his second year (the 9 position drop was the reason he was fired, btw). Of course, I think many of us remember how good his defenses were with the Raiders; the Raiders were ranked 30th in 2006, but never lower than 11th in his other years with the team. He's pretty clearly been a good DC, if you base quality on results, so he'll probably get another job. He was not good for the Cowboys though. | ||

I think that game is a lot different if RG3 could even jog properly. He looked on point early on, got that one ding and it just went downhill from there. The Hawks are still a pretty good team, but a healthy RG3 probably would have put them down three scores and not looked back. Oh well. And yeah Sherman is really good, even if he is a big time trash talker it seems. Dude has the physical abilities and the smarts. A lot of CBs are one or the other. Plus he always looks stoned, which is funny. Niners over Packers - I think Gore and the D just grind the Packers out in this one. Their D can absolutely handle the Packers. The Niner O can definitely score on them. Even if Kaep plays average, I think Gore will gouge that D for like 6ypc, even though they are much improved this year. Falcons over Hawks - More of a hunch than anything. Seattle won last week, but I think that really only happened because of the RG3 injury. However, I think this can go ether way. The Falcons are kind of retarded in big games, and I think they're not as good as they seem. Plus, any team with a D and run game as good of the Hawks is always gonna have a shot provided they can keep with 10 pts. If Seattle has to start throwing early, I think they lose. Atlanta has way too many offensive weapons for them to keep with. Texans over Pats - Andre Johnson deserves some goddamned success already. Plus I think the Texans are a very good, well rounded team. They just kind of had a few stinkers recently. Great D, awesome run game, and they can throw well too. Can never count out the Pats, but I as far as talent, the Texans have them beat all around. Ravens over Broncos - I think Joe Flacco plays his balls off. I think the Broncos would win this if it were a series, but I think the Ravens are absolutely good enough to steal one off of them. Ray Ray is gonna go off on that D, and I think Flacco has enough weapons to keep them close in case Peyton goes off early. | ||

Green Bay 17, San Francisco 24 - I have little faith in Kaepernick, but he could surprise me. The real winners here will be the SF defense. If they can get pressure on Rodgers, they should be just fine, but GB having all their receivers healthy is a scary prospect. I think this will be the closest game all weekend, and could honestly go either way. My prediction would be very different if this game was in Lambeau. Seattle 10, Atlanta 28 - The Seacocks get exposed in Atlanta this weekend. Last week we got a glimpse of what to expect when they go up against a competent quarterback on the road, and they were getting smoked until RG3 got re-injured. This team is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when it comes to road or home games, with all of their losses coming on the road against teams the likes of Arizona, St. Louis, Detroit, and Miami. An elite team doesn't drop those games, period. I see Atlanta doing just fine at home, and they have plenty of tools that will help them get up early and force Russell Wilson to win with his arm. He's capable of doing it, but they would be much more comfortable relying on Lynch. Houston 28, New England 38 - Another fairly unpredictable game, because we don't know which Houston will show up to play. If it's the Houston where Schaub is on point and the defense is stifling, they could definitely take this game, even in New England. But I see the experience of Brady and the Patriots playing at home in the playoffs giving them the edge here in what becomes a shootout. | ||

Atlanta would be exposed if they were playing a better team and/or not playing at home, but they're not. If they were facing Green Bay or San Francisco, it would likely be a different story but that's the beauty of locking up the #1 seed. I think they'll get to the NFC Championship Game, but whoever wins SF/GB is my vote for the NFC team in the Super Bowl. | ||

They have offensive weapons, particularly in the passing game. That's what he needs to succeed. Reid has no clue how to properly utilize a RB and Charles is going to hate himself by week 6.

He's had enough weapons for the last three years, he just can't fucking hit them when he needs to, because he's a giant chode. I can't believe you're picking the underdog in both AFC games, and Atlanta is practically an underdog. They're a 2.5 favorite, and home field advantage gives -3 from the jump, so that tells you what people think of this game. (Note: that's why the 9'ers have -3 vs GB: they're at home.) | ||
