Fake QB= Fake team Ryan is a joke ! You guys had to take a bounty out on D-Jack or he would have looked like Vick last year, like it was a video game out there. He could of had 5 TDs today thanks for messing my fantasy record breaking day up, you hoodlums. Kevin Kolb looked like a Pro Bowler & William Moore is overrated. Matty Ice melted today haha lol

The Eagles defensive plan was to stop Atlanta’s running game and force Matt Ryan to beat them. Of course, Matt did not step up his game. Also, it appears Atlanta’s Offensive Coordinator did not make adjustments when the Eagles started the game with 8 defenders in the box. What is the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The falcons must change up their game plan.

It’s just a matter of time before the Saints reclaim their rightful place atop the NFC South Divison!

Mr. Blank
Please have your GM fire the OC, that had to be the worst set of play calling I’ve ever seen. (2) Have you ever wondered why the Eagles beat the breaks off of the falcons every year? (3) We are what our record say we are, we barely beat teams we are suppose to beat, but when we play solid playoff caliber teams we get drugged in the dirt. (4) This team is not that good. (5) The QB is not special, just average so stop fooling yourself. (6) Mike Smith appears to be a very nice guy, but he has to surround himself with some innovative coaches that can transform this team to a team of the 21st century. (7) I’m a Falcon fan who stuck with the team through all the ruff years, but my patients is getting thin. If you are serious about winning championships, due what the team that win do. (Look at their rosters, look at them, they have star players, not just the old build a solid team through the draft). How many stars do you have on your teams that are recognized as stars outside of Atlanta? Who on your team gets bragged on every week on sports shows and radio? You need play makers! (8) Read the eagle comments before the game that they gave Atlanta. No respect. They didn’t say Atlanta D was good, they said they were ok and Atlanta had small corners. They said Atlanta Offence was alright but we’re prepared for them (with a back up offensive line) it want be a problem. Something to think about, when was the last time we beat a solid top ranked playoff caliber team?

Damn Jekyll and Hyde team, Ryan had to bring his A game and he left that in the locker room. Basically the Falcons were completely outcoached. Ryan is not kidding anyone with where he is going with the ball…………hardly ever does he pump fake or look off the D. Congrats to Reid, he smoked us.
I agree Season Ticket Holder, can we not make any adjustments on fly………!! If nothing else when our D gets embarrassed it brings them back to reality, you have to play every down.
Wash in Atl and Seen, truth be told you neonates never write about football……………..ever. You don’t even banter, just spew crap, the same stuff that comes from your butt. Seriously, it is hard to understand why you bother to show up, but by all means, please keep coming, because we will know that as long as you are here you have no life and eventually when you are gone we will know you are dead, there is a God.

The OC doesn’t make any call on the fly; he prepares 15 plays before the game and sticks with them. Someone please tell me why they don’t let Snelling take over the rushing plays when Tuner is off his game. Also can someone tell me why we jumped back into the first round to draft Sam baker?

Sid:
Why do I bother to show up? That’s easy to answer: Cause I don’t want to be dying in my bed my many years from now, wishing that I could trade everyday, from this day to that day, for just one chance, one chance to come here and tell my football enemies, that you may have beaten our team on a shanked field goal, but they’ll never take, Our Lombardi!
The reality is Sid, that you were one of the j-wads baiting me to post here last week, and this week, well,it’s a little different when the shoe is on the other foot, isn’t it?
I finally saw that hit Dumta put on DeSean this morning,…. big time hit. Legal hit in my opinion. I bet most falcan’t fans would support that, I know I do. If he gets fined, it’s just another straw for the political correctness in this league. But, if the hit had been reversed, say DeSean Jackson leveled Dumta with his helmet, oh the cries of foul, dirty play, would be deafening here at AJC!

Mr. Blank last year when the Eagle beat the breaks off us in the Georgia dome you said it was an embarrassment the way the falcons performed. What are your thoughts on the game Sunday? The game was not even as close as the score may suggest.

Admittedly, he looked like warmed over crap on a bun yesterday, no special sauce. It kills me how he telegraphs where he is going with the ball. But I still think he is a better QB than Redmond, though Redmond has played some good ball for us.

Seen, I guess the problem with the hit by Robinson was he led with his helmet. I’ve looked at the vid several times and Dunta puts his helmet between Jax right shoulder and chest. It was not a helmet to helmet though which I credit Dunta was defintately not trying to put Jax out of the game, just a bad ass hit, that’s all.

I hate to defend a falcan’t but that premise of “launching” at a “defenseless” player is foolishness at its core. These guys play at incredible speed, they’re not out there “thinking” about putting a major hit on anybody, they just want to stop the opposing player as fast as possible because that’s what they get paid to do, plus those other players are pretty fast too, if they don’t get them down in that split second they could run right past them. I don’t agree with that premise, the game is just too fast.

Why is it that many journalists keep referring to the robinson hit as head to head, 1 it clearly was not as everyone knew after the first replay, 2. just as clearly jackson took 2 steps after catching the ball therefore not defenseless, and 3 not sure how the launching rule is written if indeed it is a rule but there is less force if your feet are off the ground than if they aren’t any physics professor can tell you. The rule sounds like it has good intentions but it makes no rational sense

Matt Ryan would be the 3rd string QB in Philly 2 spots behind Vick lol. In 3 yrs he still looks like a deer in headlights. Betcha when its all said & done Matty Ice will not hold a candle to Flacco.

a player gets cut or traded for poor performance, so i ask you TD, what are we going to do about the poor performing coaches? mularkey may have been a good OC back in the day, but defenses have evolved since the 19th century. what we need is, a 21st century coach, with a 21st century scheme. mularkeys time has come and gone

We were out coached and out played. Let’s give Andy Reid and his staff credit for being better prepared than us. When you play an aggressive style of defense, sometime you win the down and sometime you get burnt. Reid took advantage of our style of play.
When we meet them the next time in the playoff, I suspect we will be better prepared. Did we learn anything from Sunday’s loss? You bet we did.

There isn’t a QB that would be successful with the offensive play calling of Mularkey and the current OL. The Falcons’ offensive line is not consistently capable of opening holes for RBs nor can they pass protect long enough for the QB to effectively survey the field for an open receiver.
Mularkey needs to be fired RIGHT NOW and TD needs to work the draft and free agents next year to acquire an offensive line. Sam Baker, along with the others, got pushed around and into the backfield all day long in Philadelphia. It was pathetic!!!!!

I think the Falcons can beat the Bengals, If they start fast and get a lead. Then utilize Turner and Snelling to control time of possession. Hence the play action pass and Gonzales should be open all day. Hopefully we can keep their passing game in front of us. If the defense shows up we can force Carson Palmer to make mistakes. I thought this would be the year that, Thomas Decoud would go to the next level. I haven’t seen him show up like an Ed Reed or troy P of the Pittsburg Steelers yet.

Mike Vick needs to be back in an Atlanta Falcons uniform. If you don’t want black outs, If you want people to be excited, If you want to get the people who really buy the tickets, and MOST IMPORTANTLY… IF YOU WANT TO WIN! Bring Mike Vick BACK. The people who actually buy the tickets, as you can see, are not the ones who attend the games and support the team. Bring him back!
