  1. Bijan is currently 68 yards away from having the most yards from scrimmage before the age of 24. https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tiny/kbNDk
  2. Mostly it's that their offensive coordinator is an idiot. They started the season 3-2 and had that big win over the Bills where Bijan had an 81 yard TD run and like 180+ yards total. Then for like the next month Bijan hardly touched the football while they decided letting their inaccurate young QB throw every down was the way they wanted to go. Promptly lost five in a row. Though part of the reason for Allgeier getting that many touches yesterday was the Falcons went up late in that game and they were just trying to run the clock down. No reason to risk getting Bijan injured at that point. As far as Bijan's contract goes, he's obviously still on his rookie contract and all $26 mill of it or w/e was fully guaranteed. Next year will be the last year before they have to decide to pay him a giant deal or tag him. I know the old trope about RBs not being worth paying is still a thing, but I think BIjan might be pushing $25 mill a year for his 2nd contract. Man is Top 5 at running the ball plus he also has 71 receptions for almost 800 yards. That's close to WR1 numbers and those guys get paid $30m+ a year. The current best RBs in the league like CMC and Saquon are all making $20m a year currently. Cap goes up, contracts go up, and Bijan is a unicorn so $25m per doesn't sound crazy.
  3. Nah. Bijan did all the hero work moving the team down the field drive after drive so Kirk could hit Pitts for those TDs. If you don't have to account for Bijan then Pitts ain't catching shit. He's only good when he's wide the fuck open.
  4. I actually don't think Arthur Blank gives a fuck if the Falcons win or not. He's got a corpo management company running his sports franchises for him. He has the new stadium which brings in bank. I think as long as he's turning a profit he really don't give a shit. Having ass kissers and people he's comfortable with matter more to him than winning. It's why he's kept Rich McKay around forever. It's why they had coaches like Harbaugh, MacDonald, Vrabel, etc. in for interviews and then they end up going with Raheem Morris for HC. Raheem ain't gonna rock the boat. He's gonna give the world salad PR speeches, never bad mouth the front office or demand change, and just keep shit in cruise control. That's the lie that's always sold to the fans. That these billionaire owners care about winning more than anything else. Fuck no they don't. Most of them just care about sitting on their ass, watching the team's valuation continue to rise because the NFL has become more popular year after year, and to pull in that sweet, sweet TV money. If the team wins? Great! If they don't? Also great. People will still show up, buy jerseys, convince themselves the snot nosed kid they drafted in the Top 5 is gonna turn everything around, etc.
  5. Falcons might genuinely be the worst team in the league without him. I've watched all their games and I can't think of a single one of their five measly wins they'd have without him. He's gonna get fucked out of it because he plays for the sorry ass Falcons, but he absolutely deserves OPOY.
  6. Bijan with the sickest stop and go in the history of football which leads to a 20 yard gain. Called back for a hold. /facepalm
  7. Bijan doing all the work down the field and then finishing it with a TD!
  8. Yeah, Bijan has been making them look way better than they really are for awhile now. Lindstrom is the only standout they've got. Bergeron is mid, Neuzil is mid, Matthews is old and shit now, and they're on their 3rd string RT who is a turnstile.
  9. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
  10. Quinn being efficient against one of the worst defenses in the league. Making your first start in the NFL at QB is always gonna be tough, but it helps if it's against the Bungles.
  11. No, you see that's the OLD Bears. These are the NEW Bears. It's totally gonna be different this time!
  12. That was a big boy throw and catch. LOL. Bears are gonna make some noise in the playoffs.
  13. Que? That dude is 1000% down.
  14. Da Bears were actually smart in the off-season. Got a better coach. Did heroic work to improve their O-line. And now their young QB is being developed, doesn't have to run for his life all the time, and has a solid running game to support him. Wild that those simple steps are beyond so many idiot teams in the league. Caleb ain't all the way there yet, but he can make some plays. And now that he has some guys around him they're winning games.
