    - He lacks patience for stupid. There's all this Bijan drama, which completely overlooks his fumble cost us the game. - David Nov 7, 12:13 4
      - How many games did Ridder’s 7 fumbles lose the Falcons—Bijan has been splitting touches with Allgeier but been dominating him in stats - FlavorizeThis—Stolen From Twitter Nov 7, 12:31 [Attachment] 3
        
        And that's why analytics are valuable. - David Nov 7, 12:39 2
        
        That’s not the issue—they’ve lost 5 games—no way Bijan lost all 5 for you. Defense lost the game for you on Sunday btw - FlavorizeThis— Nov 7, 13:58 1

        What's Pekka Rinne up to these days? -- nm - David Nov 7, 12:01 1
        
        if we wanted a 40+ goalie we could have stuck with Mike Smith. - Reagen Nov 7, 12:28
