So the Falcons came out and laid a big, fat egg. They made the Bears, who I'd be amazed if they finish better than 8-8, look good. Turnovers, stupid penalties and terrible 3rd down conversions is a sure fire recipe for disaster. Add to the fact that teams I figured would be battling for the 1st pick in the draft Buffalo and the Bengals both won and the Falcons look even worse. At least every other team in the NFC South lost this weekend too.
Good fights last night in Strikeforce and Bellator. My man, Douglas Lima, took a punch to the back of the head right off the bat and looked out on his feet. He managed to ride it out and then dominate the rest of the fight. Lima got thru to the next round of the WW tourney but Hornbuckle lost.
In Strikeforce, Daniel Cormier managed to knock out Giant Silva.
Even with a grill like that, Silva ain't got much of a jaw. I figured that the near knockout Mike Kyle had on him might have been a lucky shot, but I guess not. So Cormier versus Barnett in the final of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix. You would think Barnett would have an experience edge, but I don't remember Cormier ever really being in any trouble yet in his career. And he's managed to improve his striking every time out.
