Preserve The Iceberg, Don't Let Matty Ice Melt: The Official 2016 Atlanta Falcons Season Thread

[Point Blank]

The biggest thing for me is not letting off the gas if we get up on whoever. The shyt they pulled against SF still pisses me off.

My heart races every time I deeply think about playoff run. I'm excited, we cant fukk it this up brehs.

 

[Nostalgic]

Doesn't sound like you're all too optimistic with Coach Bro TBH, I'm not worried about him. Even tho this is his first playoffs as a HC keep in mind that he's prepared for numerous playoffs as a DC with Seattle so I think that postseason preparation will be key even if we do play his old team here next wk. And it takes bold, aggressive mindsets to win in the playoffs...i got faith that DQ will find the right balance between aggressive and being smart

Defense definitely has jelled. Statistically and chemistry it seems like they're playing faster. Happy with the secondary's evolution post Tru, the makeover of the LBs and the improved pass rush

I prolly should've reworded about 2 things on the list

(Will) Dan Quinn be too aggressive with the offense?
(Will) Dann Quinn get out coach?

I've already vented earlier in this thread about Quinn toying around
with the offense a tab bit too much for my liking.

The Chiefs, Chargers and last years 49ers game (DQ outsmarted himself in that game)
has me second guessing his coaching abilities, I know it's very early in his tenure
but I can't think of any signature win hes had so far.

Overall main thing that has me ''nervous'' is Matt's performance in the postseason
Falcons as a whole wet the bed to the Giants in 2011, I still get ticked off
the Falcons lost to a game managing Kapercanthrow in the 2012 NFC champ game

This all the fukking way. DQ got this. I like him aggressive and that shows the confidence he has in Ryan who converts 3rd and 4th downs like it ain't nothing. I seen them convert 3rd and 27 last week like it was nothing. No way I wanna go back to Mike Smiths conservative play calling days.

Cmon man...I've been tough on DQ but to say he hasn't had any signature wins is a bit harsh. CAR last yr, GB this yr off the top of my head

And I understand being nervous about the Falcons b/c they're the Falcons but we gotta judge this team off their merits. I think they're good enough to win a Super Bowl even with their flaws

Looks like we're getting Seattle next weekend.

fukk them, i hope we murder them and embarrass their asses

 

[Nostalgic]

Had a love hate feeling for the Seahawks match up.

Love: Falcons get revenge

Hate: Good ass defense the Seahawks have

Just hope the Falcons don't put together a week 1 (Of this season)
''Play not to lose'' offensive game play next week.

the work week should go by quickly.

And depending on how long it takes this ice to melt, most of us may get the day off Monday

 

[AVXL]

What matchup do y'all think will decide the game next week?

Julio, Gabriel, Sanu, Hooper, Tevin, Devonta, Aldrick vs. LOB

Seahawks OL vs NASCAR

Special teams?

ATL brehs, where yall watchin the game?

I gotta go get a jersey

I'm so excited

 

[Stone]

I think we should be able to get after Wilson, just gotta bring him down when we get there. That's the game on Defense

On offense, the middle of the field should be there so guys like Hardy and Sanu should be able to pick up some key 3rd downs. Just gotta get TDs in the redzone and we should be able to take it like 34-20 or some shyt like that.

Their OL has been suspect all year...Beasley, Grady Jarrettt, Freeney, we gonna get after their ass

If our offense plays like it's capable we'll put up 40. They don't have enough players to guard us

Clayborn too. But yeah last time, 10 of their points came off turnovers. Avoid them and costly penalties from the O-line and we should cruise.
