That just proves the star power that Vick brought. Look at the Panthers, for an example. The spotted the Falcons 3 games, by starting 0-3 and now if they beat the Dolphins tonight, the Falcons fall to 3rd place in the division after they lose to the Giants. By the Falcons losing to the Giants, they fall behind Philly, Carolina, Green Bay, Giants, Cowboys and could be tied with San Fran for the 2 wild card spots. This guy is not NFL material.

I know one thing, if Elam misses one more kick that can change the momentum of a game. We will see if Smitty has the guts to send this guy packing. Similar to what Dan Reeves had to do with Charles Dimiry. Leadership is also measured by the coaches intolerence for ineptness. Time will tell if Smitty is up for the task.

This team is much different than Mora's, Vick's, and Brooking's team. This team will get it together mark my words. We all knew the defense was going to be young this year and it would cost us some games, and it has. The Falcon's offense in 12th in scoring points and that should be plenty to get us more wins than it has, but alas it has not because of the defense. Ryan is struggling a little bit, but hey he's only a second year. He got no time to sit one year and study, so he's been flying by the seat of his pants ever since getting drafted, I think what he's done is remarkable considering being thrown into the fire. But to his discredit, the offense playcalling needs to be amped up. I know Mularkey wanted a very simple, let the talent do the talking and scoring, but that doens't work in the NFL. I think the offense needs some more complexity. Mularkey has drawn up a great running game, but I think the passing plays need some work blocking wise, and route wise to create a little more confusion for defenses. The opposing defenses are covering the recievers a little too well to suit me. Have no questions, the Falcons will turn this around, and Matty Ice will get the offense rolling again. Stats for Matty Ice are irrelevant right now in his second year. You can't compare him to any other QB in the league because he simply doesn't have the same experience yet and that will come with playing. That goes for Flacco as well. Both of these guys are good QB's, I, along with many, many experts such as Tony Dungy who coached for Manning, think Matt Ryan will be a GREAT QB in time. He will. Wait and See. All of his haters on here are never here when he's winning games and throwing the ball well because they know they are wrong. They got nothing to say. Well sooner or later Matty Ice will shut them up for good and they won't have a leg to stand on, and in my opinion they already don't. Matty Ice is here to stay and he is going to be great. I have full faith in him as a QB, he is in good hands with the Falcons, and his players respect him like no other rookie or sophomore. Wait and see, wait and see. I agree Mark.
