Julio Jones feared out for year

[Mack Herron]

Injury risk resurfaces. Terrible loss for Falcons.

Jones has had foot issues since Alabama, required surgery and screws. But Dimitroff knew that before he gave up an entire draft for him.

And the hits keep coming for the Falcons. Bad for the game and worse for the Falcons. Hopefully he can get right and be 100% next season.

And there's one big issue when you trade away lots of picks for one top player. If he gets hurt (or would have been a bust), then you're stuck without the top guy and your depth likely sucks.

You know, if they lose him and drop another game or two, Gonzales might just ask for his release. Though if that were the case, one would figure that KC would be his destination of choice.

****, that sucks. He is a very fun receiver to watch.

C'mon, Tom.

You know it's over.

Send Tony.

Yes he is.

Jay Glazer reported it earlier. Atlanta doin a 360 from last year's finish. Jets went in there last nite squeaked out a victory handed QB Ryan his first back to back loss in Atlanta.

If last night wasn't a clear enough indication that their season is over, this is the final nail in the coffin for them. The only other injury that would be this catastrophic for them would one to Matt Ryan.

The Falcons are D-O-N-E.

Time to for a fire sale, Atlanta. Just send Tony G our way, pretty please. We'll take good care of him.

Lets just hope he doesn't go to another Con-ten-dah!

make the trade Bill!

Tony Gonzalez will be nice but he is never going to come up North. But, do they have any good defensive linemen they wont need this year?

Agreed, the guy is a stud, love to watch him play, one of the elite WR's in football.

 

[neuronet]

That really sucks, I hope he has a speedy recovery. Hate to see anybody injured, no matter who they are (Exception Pollard).

 

[Huckleberry1]

Much as I would love Gonzalez here you don't give up on any season 5 weeks in. They might trade him at the deadline but K.C. is the obvious partner. A 4th would be reasonable but i have to think that K.C. would also be willing to do that given that they are truly in the hunt this season, and are also loaded with young players and can afford to give a pick up. However if Gonzalez and the Falcons are actually willing then get it done, he would be great with Gronk.

Yep, no matter how much i dislike a player i don't want to see anyone getting hurt, but the exception is Pollard who has made a living deliberately injuring other players.

On a side note i have always felt that if it can be demonstrated that a player deliberately injured another player then they should not be able to play again until that player can, and if that means never then tough sh.t, the Pottery Barn rules apply.

I don't expect the Gonzalez trade, but I don't get the 'north' thing.

He probably thinks Gonzalez has a sweet landscaping gig during the summers.
