They probably don't either, which is why they continue to do it.

Hard to believe someone gets paid $$$$ to do stuff like that.

One more reason not to pay attention to the NFL.

That's how it is in the NFL now. I still enjoy watching but prefer the way football in general used to be..
that was a terrific game still. congrats to anyone who had Matt Ryan on their fantasy team

and a special thank you to Chip Kelly for winning today and keeping me in the eliminator challenge.

Actually, as far as two good teams playing each other go, this score an an anomaly. Usually, those scores are something like 17-21 or 21-24.
Its not really about the score but about each QB having 400-500 yards passing. Defenses are handcuffed by the new rules and style of play..

I think that's a cop out. Modern DBs just aren't as good as they used to be. The salary cap of the NFL doesn't help matters either, a prospective DB will be far more likely to become a receiver or RB because he stands to make a much larger pay check in the salary capped NFL.

This statement shows your lack of knowledge about the NFL. Top corners make more than top running backs. There wasn't a single running back that went first round in the draft last year just to show you how the value of that position has gone down. Offenses are able to put up more points/yards than ever because of the rule changes. Specifically not allowing DBs to "jam" receivers as much as they used to or hit offensive players like they used to..
