Yeah Falcons have only made the playoffs 6 times since Brees/Payton took over
The Saints had a historically bad defense for a few years and Atlanta went to the SB
Then the Saints had an all time draft class and ATL hired Arthur Smith
No JJ and only one game with JJ but Hockenson has been a tentpole in this offense. His presence alone exceeds what the Cardinals have collectively.
The Vikes OL is probably better but the Cards line is solid.
And the Vikes D has been great
The most interesting nugget is how “Do Your Job” bleeds into this. Not only is it a mantra for you to do the job you’re assigned, it also says for you to NOT do any jobs you are not assigned. Basically, Bill keeps all of the actual HoF HC stuff to himself. Not because he’s trying to be secretive but because he doesn’t want anyone else wasting their time.
I’d argue it isn’t even the best half season in the last 5 years. The start that Burrow and Herbert had were great.
You cannot look at those Texans playoff rosters and tell me BoB is a bad coach. He also brought stability to a Penn State program in desperate need of leadership after the Paterno scandal. I’m not calling him Bill Parcels but he is a good competent coach that has found success outside of Brady.
We almost had a Bortles vs Foles SB
inb4 Bo Nix at 2 overall
