Wasn't the offense like 2 of 11 on 3rd downs? We're asking a defense that is already bad to hold up all game...offense has to score points, I'm not banking on the defense holding anybody to 24 especially on the road
It's not about the points it's about the fact that they had 200 yards rushing, and kept us off the field.

Of course the ATL

Defense was our best unit today by far. I don't care about yards given up, I care about points given up. All things considered the defense did their job today

Yards result in worse field position and more time spent in the bench for our offense. We're not gonna be able to run up and down the field on the best defenses so you need that help from yours

The defense has given up a ton of yards all season, the difference is that our offense didn't convert and we didn't have a balanced run/pass ratio. You're acting like this defense hasn't consistently been bad all yr and still only gave up 24 points. The defense we watched is who we are...we give up alotta yards, the difference being that this offense can hang 30 on you at any time. If we don't score 30 were not winning the game

Pretty bad coaching decisions in this game

Hageman should've never started in this game (He needs to be cut)

Quinn gambles a lil too much with this offense, Of course the defense is young
(They start 4 rookies) at some point Quinn is going to need to stick his chest
and say ''Defense is my calling card and deal with it dammit'' there was no need to
go for it on 4 down was 3 mins and some change.

Hopefully with the bye week the Falcons get Coleman, Tamme and Turfant back
IMO I think the Falcons will finish the rest of the season going 4-2

There was a lot of stupid shyt period, i think we defeated ourselves on Offense, we literally got a 5 or 10 yard penalty nearly every drive that knocked us out of FG range or made the 1st down impossible. Some of the O line need to be looked at, there's no reason why Matt should be pressured on a Hail Mary as soon as the ball is hiked when they're sending 3 rushers :snoop:

Rise up!
Tamme might be out for the season :francis:

www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/falcons-jacob-tamme-seeking-second-opinion

Tamme will seek a second opinion on his injured shoulder during the Falcons' current bye week, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Tamme has missed the Falcons' past two games due to his banged-up shoulder, which he reportedly is considering undergoing surgery on. Knowing that, his upcoming second opinion should help determine his course of action with regards to fixing the problem. While Tamme's situation appears bound for a further update over Atlanta's bye week, rookie Austin Hooper seems destined to continue in an expanded role, with Levine Toilolo and Joshua Perkins behind him at tight end.

Hooper has been doing aight, his hands are suspect though

At least we'll be getting Trufant and Coleman back :ehh:

It'll be interesting to see what the rotations at corner will be with Collins getting an increased role and Tru coming back.

We'll be alright as long as we can at the least go 4-2 like breh previously stated.

As for the team being undisciplined, we need to get rid of all the trash we can (Hageman) in the offseason and hope what little talent that we have can overshadow our youth, and help us make a run in the playoffs. I predicted 10-6 and so far it's looking like it's coming to fruition:mjgrin:
This loss does hurt though. Quinn has to get some consistency out of these dudes bc we beat ourselves. We'll get embarrassed in the playoffs at this rate.

Season ending shoulder surgery for Tamme.

The downfall of this teams season will be they banked out too many rookies
Keanu, Hooper, Campbell, DJones., Poole,
